Mother 🤬! Just got Whamed while leaving the post office. Was in there for a solid 15 minutes waiting in queue and listening to all the usual non christmas-y songs they had playing when just as i got my hands on the parcels I came to collect I heard the sound I was fearing.... "Laaaassst Christmas I gave you my hear...". I swore a little louder than I should've and walked out disgusted.
I was doing so well too
My older brother was around and thought that watching a late '80s music countdown would be a good idea. He pressed the button just in time for me to hear that dreadful tune and see "Wham: Last Christmas #89" in the bottom corner as it started to fade out. Whammed two :censored:ing years in a row

Didn't feel the need to watch the famous (110th!!) Santa Claus Parade over here in Toronto - though it made a lot of news, noise, and nice-or-naughty people come out to play. So . . . never heard so much as the tinkle of a bell.
However - my TV has gone mad. Every Christmas jingle has people running around in PJ's (latest advertising trend? PJs for Christmas?) dancing around a bright-lit, gaudily-decorated pine or spruce of some sort, opening gifts, being all holy-jolly and all that to the background of the inevitable (and orchestral) Twelve days of Christmas.
No sign of G.M yet. Probably busy in the loo. Sans PJs.
He can stay there. For many more than 12 Days. Thanks.

According to www.coverinfo.de currently 358 (!) covers exist.
It's nice to see the challenge has developed into some kind of tradition. Maybe I should also start "Low Value Secret Santa" (with obligatory unboxing photos/videos) over here at GTP.

The only Christmas songs I've heard so far are the ones I'm playing for orchestra...

I fear the end is nigh.
Last night at the supermarket Christmas carols were playing, upon saying oh jeez not already Mrs Shaun asked if I was in the GTP challenge again.
The disturbing part she had a devious twinkle in her eye.
Last year she was an Ally in assisting me, this year I fear she is the enemy.

Time for an alert. If you're on Youtube, watch out for the Now That's What I Call Christmas advert. You can't skip it, and Wham! comes on immediately after the title. Stay alert...

Good job I only use Youtube on the ps3. If you persist with quitting the video when the ad comes on it eventually stops showing it.

Well, the excitement was short lived this year. The familiar intro was impossible to escape while in line at the Pick N Pull junkyard near Grand Prairie, Texas.
As I bow out so soon, I want to remind everyone that nowhere is safe. If we can't even trust a sketchy junkyard, we can't trust anyone.
