Christmas Music?

Is it too early to start listening to Christmas Music?  I started last weekend - and one of my apartment-mates was not very excited.  He thinks we should wait until after Thanksgiving.
I could play Christmas music all year!  My mom always started playing Christmas music early when I was growing up - we'd be driving somewhere with the Christmas tapes blasting away in the car.  Now we get out the piano books - she plays and I sing, sometimes I play and sing at the same time.
Christmas music very uplifting - so many happy songs.  Although, there are the sensual songs too - for those missing loved ones during the holidays.
(I even started rehearsing for the Christmas Eve candlelight service yesterday - I am singing O Holy Night.)


I love so many things about the holidays!  The aromas (gingerbread, cinnamon, cookies), the music, the generosity unseen other times of the year, the stories ('Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house...).

Let me know what you think!! When do you start your Christmas music? When is too early?
Here are links to some of my favourite "pop" Christmas Songs:
