For me Thanksgiving is the day I activate the Christmas songs in my iTunes account.  Letting them mix in with my usual music before playing nearly non-stop the week of Christmas.

Artwise, I'm not looking for any specific Xmas tie-ins.  I'm sure I'll be surprised by what shows up.

Merry Christmas Everyone!  Christmas is the season of miracles.  It will be hard to top this past fall when it took until Thanksgiving for Newcastle United to lose a game in the premiership.
