But I can't sort out my xmas shopping and other assorted preparation until it feels like xmas.
Maybe I should crack out the xmas CDs. That always used to help.

Christmas playlist copied to ipod on Tuesday
I have been listening to it on the train in to work and grinning like a total mong.

YOU'RE WRONG

I agree with you
I dislike hearing them in shops or on the radio, but when I can listen to them when I want to listen to them, they're great. Cheesy nonsense, of course, but great all the same.

My favourite (or one of my very favourites, anyway)
is Another Rock n Roll Xmas. For some reason it's never played any more. Can't imagine why....

I'm so ashamed by this I can't even believe I'm going to tell you
but mine's that Mariah Carey one...

I do like that one too.
It's about the only time I can ever tolerate the mental bint.

She is a bit of a windowlicker
but the song always makes me grin.

Bollocks.
The Motown Christmas album is great.

I am struggling to think of any other counter arguments mind you.

Do you mean the Phil Specter one?
It's totally boss.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 8 Dec 2011, 10:38, Reply)

Possibly.
I don't know the details, it lives on an old cassette at my parents house and gets dragged out every year for one airing over Christmas dinner.

'Run Run Rudolph' by Chuck Berry is good too.

Which is why I don't do any shopping until Christmas week.

( Kroney, Thu 8 Dec 2011, 10:33, Reply)

Yeah, but then everything's in a rush.
And some of the stuff I'm preparing takes a bit longer than that.

And some presents need to be posted.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 8 Dec 2011, 10:35, Reply)

Then you're going to have to MTFU and get on with it.

( Kroney, Thu 8 Dec 2011, 10:36, Reply)

Pfft
typical man.
(berk, Thu 8 Dec 2011, 10:36, Reply)

Well I'm going to be on my own for this one.
So I only have a few to buy.
( Kroney, Thu 8 Dec 2011, 10:40, Reply)

My immediate family is quite large
so it's not just my parents, grandparents etc but four siblings, their partners, their kids, friends, etc etc etc. I swear my Christmas list gets longer every year yet I get fewer and fewer presents. Getting old is lame.

I just downloaded
Tim Wheeler and Emmy The Great's Christmas album.

I haven't listened to it yet. I wasn't sure whether to get it at all because I think Tim Wheeler is a bit of a tit, but Emmy The Great is...well...Great.
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Thu 8 Dec 2011, 10:47, Reply)

Is she?
Or is your opinion clouded slightly by her appearance?
Tim Wheeler is a shortarse tit though.
