Festive Spirit

It’s that time of year when unless you’re very careful you end up with Christmas Music in your head.
I did my Christmas Shopping last night (well, most of it anyway) and (horror, shock) pretty much every store I was in was playing Band Aid 20 or Wizzard or Mariah Carey. I passed a number of Carol Singers. I was therefore suprised that when I went into the buy-all-your-wrapping paper-tinsel-and-christmas-cards-at-knocked-down-prices shop” (to buy wrapping paper) they weren’t playing Christmas Music. It was a welcome relief.
Fatty:
They’ve been playing Christmas music in shops since some time in November, haven’t they?
Bah, humbug!

In some shops, yes. However I had not had concentrated exposure until yesterday on the grounds that I have been too busy/tired/ill to go real life shopping and amazon.co.uk doesn’t have store music (THANKFULLY!!!)

Fatty:
Oh no… you just brought back horrible memories of websites people would occasionally write (back in the dawn of time) which would have links to sound files in them, so that the sound would download and play in the background.
Anyone else remember the horror of these?
