Christmas music opinion requested from peanut gallery

I play the piano every Saturday night at a French restaurant--usually a mixture of show tunes, pops, jazz and classical. I'd like to toss in a few beautiful Christmas-related tunes. My question is, in your opinion, what date should I start? (I don't want to jump the gun.)

If you were eating dinner accompanied by music, would Sat., Dec. 1 be okay or should I start a week or two later?

I would prefer later, rather than earlier. The 8th seems about right.

Ditto.

I'm ready for it now. Something needs to inspire me for all the shopping.

As my wife told a reporter at the mall in response to a similar "man on the street" inquiry, "September is for my birthday, October is for Halloween, November is for Thanksgiving, and December is for Christmas."

December 1st ...

Clink !

Sorry, that's Monday. I play Saturdays. You probably wouldn't like anything I play anyway.

I love Christmas music. I am listening to some right now. Start this weekend. It can't hurt.

To clarify things for people, I wasn't thinking of Jingles Bells, Frosty the Snowman or Silent Night, or similar songs.

I was thinking of pieces like It's Christmas in New York, Gesu Bambino, Feliz Navidad, etc.

I'd love to play Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (it's a lot of fun to play), but it would not be apropos.
