Holidays are coming....Well next month they are!

When I see this advert it means Christmas is coming....


It seems to be shown earlier and earlier each year....Was a couple of weeks ago that I saw it for the first time....It the middle of an episode of Jeremy Kyle...I'm guessing that was not the first showing this year....Jeremy Kyle not exactly 'prime time' viewing....I must of missed it but it was the first time for me....

Last year the music channels started playing Christmas music on and around the 1st of December....This year they started on the 15th of November...Really?! It was just one channel though for a few days anyway...Now more and more of the channels are sneaking the odd programme....Only half and hour at first but it's like a virus....Christmas songs spread....Soon they will be on every channel.....

I'm not complaining though....Really I'm not......I love christmas music...Well apart from Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas...It is so overplayed and she is just too cheesy!! She even corrupted Justin Bieber even more than he already is and dragged him into her christmas shenanigans!!

  
My favourite christmas song has to be Fairytale Of New York by The Pogues & Kirsty McColl...I'm not even sure why it's not the most jolly or catchy song....It is like an anti christmas song...Everything that shouldn't be right about a christmas song makes it right...My christmas is not complete until I've heard this song at least 30 times. 


At least this year it won't be the X-factor winner trying for the Christmas number one honor...As the X-Factor final is coming up in a few weeks they are releasing the single then and could potentially go to number well before christmas...

From what I've heard there is a song being released in memory of the people who died at the
1989 Hillsborough tragedy....The Hollies' classic He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother......Robbie Williams, Beverley Knight, Paloma Faith, Mel C, The Zutons' Dave McCabe and Paul Heaton, and X Factor star Rebecca Ferguson, are among the artists who will be dedicating their time for free to record the track and it will be produced by acclaimed songwriter Guy Chambers....The cover version will be released on 17 December 2012. which will be joining the challengers for the coveted Christmas number one spot.

All profits from the sale of the CD will go towards assisting the victims' families in their continued fight for justice.....
