Slade's Merry Christmas is my favourite Christmas song. But when you think about it, apart from the lyrics, there is nothing 'Christmassy' about the music it at all. When in a band back in the 90s I loved singing it at Chrstmas gigs; I couldn't manage the punishing high bits but I enjoyed doing the harmonies. So enjoyable, and popular, I wanted us to do it all year round. To make this possible I wrote some summer lyrics starting with something like "Are you taking down your surfboard from the wall...". With a few musical quotes from Beach Boys' Barbara Ann it would have sounded quite good (I think). We never got round to trying it out as I moved away to where I live now. I still have the alternative lyrics somewhere...

Derek...... there's nothing "'Christmassy" about Christmas these days..... it's all about a target audience being pressurised into spending money they don't have. In the olden days that would have been achieved by the Sheriff of Nottingham and his henchmen bashing your door down but it's done in a much more devious way these days.
Christmas to me (what I was taught to believe at an early age) is all about the birth of JC and celebrating that birth. It's a Christian religous festival and the church ceremonies take place on Christmas Eve and Christmas day was a day of rest etc. etc. etc.
Most of the little scroats born post 1980 won't have a clue who JC was (or more importantly what he stood for) and have been, wrongly, taught that Christmas is a period of time to expect many gifts and do a lot of sinning.
It's not a case of "bah humbug" from me...... Christmas (as we know it) now has the totally opposite message to the one it once heralded.
Peace and hope has been replaced by greed and expectancy, An appreciation of the message of Jesus has been replaced by the "Amazon wish list" and mistletoe is pretty damned hard to find.
Our culture has gone to hell and back in a very short time and it bodes very badly.........
I was in the Co-Op this afternoon and they have Easter eggs stacked next to the reduced Christmas items......... f**kin' unbelievable!
This world is f**ked.
