Ah, the day after Halloween, the words "Trick or Treat?!" still echoing throughout the neighborhood. It's only natural that when I punched 99 WMYX on my radio that I would hear Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time."
Not only is that song on my "please never play this again" Christmas music list, but it is THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN!
Just yesterday I had read a column pointing out the odd shopping experience of "Orange & Black, Red & Green -- Don't Forget What's In Between" http://family.go.com/newsletters/dreamteamdaily/OrangeBlackRedGreen/
That column reminded me that I am not crazy for wishing Christmas items didn't appear on the shelves until after Thanksgiving. It was decidedly odd shopping for trick or treat candy at both Target and Walgreen's on Oct. 30 and having to search for it among the stockings and Christmas lights.
As I'm in advertising, I understand the push for ratings and ad dollars, but this is going too far. I am boycotting 99 WMYX and its affiliates. I have my iPod plugged in and loaded with Christmas tunes -- which will not be played until Nov. 23 -- at the earliest!

it's funny your name contains the letters m, y, x and the #99.
i think in the darker recesses of your mind you enjoy that station and their xmas music and this column was just a ploy to point out that station is now indeed playing xmas music.
