STAR 93.3 midday personality Kristen James says listeners have been requesting Christmas music well before the station\u2019s annual switch.<\/p>\n
\u201cChristmas is such a joyful time for so many people who listen to STAR. We start getting requests for Christmas music in July!\u201d James said. \u201cSo, to be able to get the season started a little early for those who enjoy it, and to have the opportunity to brighten their day with holiday tunes they love, is such a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n
