I stop after Xmas Day to be honest. Now that im 22, to me after Xmas Day, Xmas is officially over. When I was younger, I used to play them right up til 31st December but now it feels wrong to play them after xmas day

Just over a week ago, I put a whole Christmas album of each of; Michael Bublé, Elvis and the Ronettes, on one of these for Christmas, each as a single selection.
But I've taken them off today.

I finish on Boxing Day. It doesn't seem right to be listening to Xmas songs after the 25th.

The 12 days of Christmas run from the 25th December to January 6th, so any time in that period is still Christmas.

The first day of work after New Year's Day - so they'll be deleted on Thursday.

Well if someone bought you a Xmas album for Xmas, your a bit stuffed if you can't play it after Xmas day.

It's really a question of "playing" what you like, when you like.
I like to play the "Christmas Song" on my leccy piano a few times during the year, just to make sure I remember it. I don't play it any more often over Christmas. It must be the same for others with certain records, you play anything at any time of the year.

I stop playing them after Christmas Day. I play them from after bonfire night to Xmas and I think that's enough!

I never started! I'm sick to death of ALL of them, even ones that used to be my favourites.

BAH! HUMBUG!

I love the Christmas songs, but I only program them to start playing after the 15th December or so, not the second week in November like most of the commercial radio stations do.

Even then I dont thrash them. This means Im not fed up with hearing them by New Years day, which is when they stop playing.
