Surprised Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" is not on the list -- that song is usually a given every Christmas season.

That song got five plays during that time period.

Well for those that are not crazy about the Xmas music I am guessing it stops tonight? Not sure if they start fresh Monday?
I personally like the iHeart Christmas music app, and while I am sure many on the board know it’s a all year thing

They played one more day of Christmas music on Sunday, then resumed regular music on Monday. I liked that extra day, because it always feels so abrupt when they end on 12/26. It gives people a little Christmas afterglow, and the hosts get to talk about their Christmas Day activities with Christmas music in the background.
I like dipping in to Christmas music through the year. It's quality music and also can give you a nice uplift when you need it.

The last song WNIC played before going back to their regular format full-time was Bing's version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?".
In Toledo, 101.5 the River ended it with "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole. However, they're still mixing in Christmas songs alongside their regular format here and there.
