BOOM! It’s Christmas!

In days of yore when Christmas was a 12-day celebration beginning at sundown on December 24, radio stations started to sprinkle in holiday tunes beginning the day after Thanksgiving.

For the last several years, the Friday before Thanksgiving has been considered the “new” Friday after Thanksgiving as the day Christmas music starts in Pittsburgh. iHeart’s WWSW (94.5) and Renda’s WSHH (99.7) are all-Christmas until at least December 26… perhaps through the end of the year.

Enjoy it while you can… it doesn’t seem like it’s nearly enough time!

For those of you who are starting your annual game to see if you can make it through the season without hearing “Last Christmas” by Wham, good luck. I don’t think you have a chance!
