Christmas Songs: Too Early, or Just Right?

Everyone loves those religious carols that play every year before the holidays on every radio channel. But some people don't agree. Some people say that the Christmas songs come to quickly or that they should be after the end of November or at least after Thanksgiving. Some say that the songs come at  just the right time. A very recent poll says most people say they come way too early; what would you say?

          Most people would love to listen to the jolly holiday carols but they come way too early! The songs are coming on the radio right before Thanksgiving! The songs are meant for Christmas so they should be nearer to Christmas. They are called the 25 days of Christmas, not the 30 days of Christmas! And they certainly are not part of Thanksgiving, so they shouldn't put them on the radio the day before Thanksgiving, or the day right after! They should wait until the next month comes! "They are WAY TOO EARLY!" says local 36 year old worker and mother Mariana Arias, "They don't even let Thanksgiving end before they play them!". Many people think the same but some think differently.

           The merciful tunes that play on the radio are favored by a big group of American Christians. The songs on the radio play again and again and some people love that. The songs played have come too early for some but for others it comes just right. "They come just right." says Parthi Dasdondi, an 11 year old school girl from the Herbert Hoover middle school, "I think so because they play in the middle of November and December, as they should. They also get you into the Christmas feel". She and others think that the Christmas songs should come sooner than after December.

              The debate has included any person who wants to. I find this argument very interesting, and many think so also.
