Tbh, I used to quite like a lot of the old Xmas "pop" songs, not all of them , but most. Trouble is, having worked in retail for so long now has killed all that long ago as you have to listen to them all the time on a bloody loop for about two months. Mind you, only normally getting just Xmas Day off has taken a lot of the joy out of the so called Christmas "holiday" period too and you work so many hours leading up to it and then after, it becomes more just like a normal day off. Was different when the kids were younger and watching them get all excited. Maybe I'm just turning into Scrooge? To me though, it is just greed and there is no reason that shops can't close early Xmas Eve and then reopen the day after Boxing Day like they used to.
