When do you put up your Christmas lights?

With the weather in Ohio being exceptionally nice for this time of year lately, I know of more than a few people who’ve already put up (but not turned on) their Christmas lights and outdoor decorations.

I often put mind up the weekend before Thanksgiving so I can turn them on Thanksgiving night after dinner. I like them to be on for the early morning Black Friday shoppers heading out. We’ll see if that happens this year or if I’ll be freezing my fingertips off in a few weeks trying to get them up before it’s too late to bother.

But when do you turn them on for the first time (other than to check)?

99.9 Lite FM now playing all Christmas music all the time

As of noon today, 99.9 Lite FM switched over to Christmas music 24/7 through at least the end of the year.

In previous years the switch has happened the Friday before Thanksgiving, but this year it’s another day earlier (as much of the holiday trimming, shopping and spirit seems to be this year). You can listen live on their Web site if you aren’t in their listening area.

If you aren’t ready for Christmas music just yet, an e-mail from 99.9 invited members to listen to their sister station MIX 107.7.

Also today, woxy.com (formerly a station in Oxford, then Cincinnati and then finally online) announced that their Holiday Mixer is up and running until the new year if you’re looking for something a little different. According to their site, the Mixer features “hundreds of seasonal tunes and is filled with unique renditions of your holiday favorites by modern rockers from around the globe.” The woxy.com staff and offices recently moved to Texas but since they are online only, you can listen to them from anywhere and get your Christmas on. >  Listen to it now.

If you’re feeling daring you can test your Christmas song lyric knowledge with our lyrics quiz here.

All this Christmas music talk leads to the inevitable question: What’s your favorite Christmas song? Note: This poll couldn’t possibly include everyone’s favorites, otherwise it would just be more of a list. So vote and/or comment with your favorites below.
