and so this is Christmas

 

So this year as you might imagine TV has not done much to help the Christmas spirit. Nor should it surprise you to hear has shopping. I've tried to engage people with a "Merry Christmas" but it falls on deaf ears. Perhaps the constant exposure to "Here it is Merry Chrtistmas" from Slade, "I wish it could be Christmas everyday" from Wizard, "All I want for Christmas is you" from Mariah Carey and this years Christmas number one of, wait for it, "The JCB Song" by Nizlopi with such poignant lyrics as

And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets
And I'll tell em I'm 8, my dad's ba barakas
