My wife and I have been searching the radio and internet all day. We can't find CHRISTMAS music. We are finding a lot of contemporary bop about the 'Christmas Season' and even old standards that croon about the 'Christmas Season', Santa Claus, fires and snow but nobody is playing CHRISTMAS music.

Good gravy, I just heard a couple of Christmas CAROLS, I hope they stay with it, but they are weird arrangements.

I've got some old records that I'd love to play if I had a turntable.
 
If I may take the liberty (without violating board policy), I highly recommend the Fundamental Broadcasting Network known as FBN radio. Available online. It's a Christian station so if the preaching is not appreciated you may have to pick and choose when you listen but all in all it's very good in my opinion. Merry Christmas!
 
Another good youtube search is for Air Force Band Christmas Music.

The Air Force has a terrific band. Their “flash mob” mall appearances are really good..
 
My favorite Sirius/XM station ('40s Junction) seems to be nothing BUT Christmas music for December. At least that's all the preset I had for it is giving me. I'm not happy.

At least one local radio station here switches to nothing but Christmas music at Christmas time. I imagine that happens in quite a few places.
 
We've tried youtube....

youtube can be your friend in this case. Most of the traditional carols and songs are on there by multiple performers. (Assuming you have neither Google Music nor Apple Music).

I could probably find individual songs but the continuous play stuff is all rotten. I tried more than a few channels.
 
We have a few of those.....

And it's the same all over.

With a couple of them they start playing the music in the beginning of November.. It appears they are on about a 70 song loop, you listen to it long enough and many times you know what the next song is.

If you can get them on the web, Houston has a radio station called "Sunny 99.1 FM" Non stop Christmas music of all kinds starting at Thanksgiving 24/7
 
Here is the most popular Christmas Song in UK, 47 years later. Admittedly not what you were looking for.
Good old Noddy Holder and Slade.

Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody 1974 - YouTube

Saw them do it live during their 1980 revival tour after they tore up Reading Festival that year. Serious memories.

The over the air TV hasn't shown much Christmas material either.
 
It's just the opposite around here. You can't find a radio station that isn't playing Christmas music, some of the nothing but them. One of them even started playing them the week after halloween.
