To me, I generally start listening to Christmas music on Thanksgiving weekend.

Glad they aren't changing Prime Country over to Country Christmas until December...that first release in the initial post made it sound like it was switching the end of this week.
 
I listen year round, but Hallmark starting movies before Halloween and stores starting displays before Halloween is a bit much. I heard a dang commercial on my SiriusXM 40's junction this morning, rare I know, but I guess its switching to Holiday Traditions on Nov1. I can live with that as its normally the Sirius Christmas channel I listen too.
