And another thing, why is snow associated with Christmas? It very rarely snows at Christmas (at least not where I live), but it's all over Christmas songs, cards, films, etc.

That goes back to Charles Dickens time when they had a lot of snowy winters.

That was ages ago. We need some more apt Christmas songs now.

"Outside it's pishing, and I'm wishing, you a happy holiday" or something like that.

Jesus loved snow, which you'd know if you'd paid attention at school.

He was also a big fan of Mott The Hoople.

I have a feeling I might have to explain that one to many on here

Only to the Young Dudes.

I wasn't really planning to do Whamageddon this year, which is a good thing, because I was hit at 9 o'clock this morning in the supermarket with the seasonal dirge.

I don't mind the Wham xmas song at all.

Bet it has made them a pretty penny these past 40 years.

Pretty impossible to avoid when you’ve got young kids. Think as soon as it turned 1 November, it’s all I’ve heard in the shops here.

Kylie Minogue is the Christmas number one with her song XMAS.

I haven't heard the song because I think it is only available on Amazon, but good on her. I like Kylie.

Apparently everything goes to Andrew Ridgely.

George Michael gave up his share of the royalties after he left Wham

Although didn’t she do some kind of deal with them so it always gets played first whenever anyone asks for Xmas music? 
I know record companies have been at that kind of thing since before Elvis, but demeaned her in my eyes.

A long way from being photographed on a bed with Bobbie Gillespie!

Like most pop stars, she can't actually sing.
