Default Christmas

It seems to be getting earlier every year, from the 1st November, 2011, digital radio listeners have had the option of listening to Smooth Christmas, a digital radio station dedicated to Christmas music, broadcasting until the 27th December.

If you can listen to that, for nearly 2 months, without going mad, or losing the will to celebrate Christmas, then you are a much better person than me

I Personally think Christmas should be like the world cup, every 4 years, that way you would look forward to Christmas coming around and not sighing at the thought of it... FFS its here again

It dosen't help that the shops have decorations up already. ASDA had two lads wrapping tinsel all over the place 2 days ago ! It's all become too commercialised if you ask me.

what gets up my nose is the homosexual friendly version of the pogues.

that seems to be a major problem with this country, we are loosing our heritige due to politically correctness and commerciality.

i very much doubt that any gay person from anywhere in the world would take offence at that song.
