Love it or hate it, Christmas music has started playing on radio stations and in grocery stores.

This week on Valley 101, we explore why Arizonans are asking Beth McDonald to kick off Christmas music early. We also brought on Bill Goodykoontz to share his complicated views on the seasonal earworms.
