Detroit Radio Stations Start Christmas Music, Sparking Early Holiday Debate
Detroit radio stations have begun playing Christmas music, reigniting the annual discussion about whether it's too soon to hear holiday tunes with Thanksgiving still weeks away.
We asked Detroit residents when they think it's appropriate to start hearing seasonal music on the radio, and opinions were sharply divided.
- Kanisha said,
"It doesn't matter what you're feeling any time of the year… once you put Christmas music on — it's never too early."
- Brittany agreed, calling the timing
"perfect for right now."
- Doretha went further, suggesting
Christmas music "should be played all year round."
However, not everyone welcomes the early holiday spirit.
- Austin said playing Christmas music in July is
"way too much time."
- Ahthavan was more direct:
"Any time is too early… because it is."
- Sandra and Aidan both felt it's premature to start before Thanksgiving.
- Alexis explained,
"Because you need a break between Halloween… and just like, to breathe."
