Not just that it's not even Thanksgiving yet, for chrissakes, and we're hearing Christmas music...it's the advertisers who use Christmas tunes with rewritten lyrics to hawk their crap.
The most abused holiday tune for this purpose? Hark are the Bells. Coming to a Garmin commercial near you, Ad nauseum.

The song in question is actually titled "Carol of the Bells" and starts "Hark! how the bells..." It's nowhere near as annoying as some of the other, um "favorites" that get trotted out at this time of year. (See, e.g., "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer," or the dogs that bark "Jingle Bells.")
I've jumped the gun a little myself this year, in that I've burned a disc of some of my favorite holiday tunes and popped it into the CD player in my car already. The iPod will go from "shuffle songs" mode to shuffling through my Christmas genre starting next Monday when I'm back at the office--and that will continue through the Epiphany, when the Christmas season officially ends.
