OH NO!!!

Back in August when the first Christmas Stuff started showing up in local stores, I made a vow to myself. I vowed that I WOULD NOT start going nuts for Christmas till either The Day After Thanksgiving ("Black Friday"), or the day that I heard a Radio Station had switched too All Christmas Music... whichever came first.

When I made this vow, I figured it would be pertaining to Seattle's WARM 106.9, the adult-contemporary 'Soft Hits" station that usually switches some time before Thanksgiving.

UNFORTUNATELY, I just discovered that Comcast's "Sounds Of The Seasons" music channel has just switched from Halloween Music to Christmas Music.

DOES THIS COUNT?!?!? Am I now allowed to go spend a few hours in the Christmas Section of Target already?!?!?

Not only is it allowed, it's a moral imperative!

You and my Mom agree...

You specified "radio." Comcast does not (AFAIK)transmit Christmas music over "radio" waves. It does not count.

True that... but the collective of commercial-free music stations available through Comcast Cable are known as "Comcast Radio". Same general category as XM and Sirius Satelite Radio, which do not use Marconi's wondrous invention (which was actually Tesla's discovery, but we won't even GO there). So saying that this is "Radio" is *technically* correct! And as we all know, "Technically" is the best type of correct to be :)

Bwaa Haa Haa Haa! Seems rather rules lawyer-ish to me. ;-) Perhaps you could amend the rule that you can look but not buy until a REAL radio station switches formats. :D

And remember that Santa is watching you.

I can't speak for my client, but I think that he will find this compromise to be adequate :)
