How early is too early?

The age old debate has finally come and gone this year. We all act indignant because radio stations are playing Christmas music, stores are putting out Christmas decorations, and restaurants are joining in the festivities... all before Thanksgiving. For the record, I think that it's absurd, but they do it every year. Let's just get over it, shall we?


I do wonder, however, what it's like in other countries. We define prior to Thanksgiving as "too early," but Thanksgiving is obviously an American holiday (or at least the fourth-Thursday-of-November Thanksgiving is anyway). What is unofficial line elsewhere in the world? Advent?


And on that note (get it? get it? note?), let the Christmas music begin!

Oh, and happy Thanksgiving!
