When I was driving to work early on Sunday morning, I heard my first christmas song on the radio. It was Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade. Has anyone else heard christmas songs on mainstream radio this November? Don`t you think it`s a bit too early for that kind of thing?
I often wonder how much the bills are for those good folk who go mad at Christmas but have a charity collection box outside their gate, for people to donate in appreciation of their show.
@VHG - that`s my favourite christmas song. Only because it reminds me of being a pre-teen at school and dancing to it at the school disco. It`s not about the song, it`s about the memories and feelings it invokes. I wonder why there aren`t many memorable christmas songs from this era? They all seem to be from the 1970s and early 80s.
One of the pubs in the town have had the Xmas trees up and all the windows are full of lights ...and the local social club is playing xmas music...this has been going on for over a week ..I think it's a tad sad as far to early..
If it all starts too early then you're sick of it come Christmas. I work right up until Christmas, get home at teatime on the 24th and that's when we rush round like headless hens putting the decorations up. That is half the fun, rushing about the place with tinsel in your hand with a playful cat dangling off the other end.
