Sometimes the song isn't what you think it is.

Just spent a small amount of time and a large amount of disbelief in a Christmas Warehouse, trying to find decorations that don't suck, don't sing, don't have flashing reindeer and don't have an exorbitant price tag. Didn't find a lot. Have, however, found enough over the last little while to make a slight impulse purchase look half reasonable. And it's amazing what you can do with 20kg of cement, an old steel table frame, a tablecloth with silverfish nibbles and five plastic rubbish bags. Oh, and several half-bricks.

But while I was in the Christmas shop, they were playing a popular-songs-of-Christmas CD. I coped with whoever it is sings All I Want For Christmas is You. I could deal with It'll Be Lonely This Christmas Without You at Home (which seems to be by Elvis, although I remember the Mud version myself). But then an Om-pah intro started, and I laughed out loud.

( Because sometimes a song with Christmas in it isn't about Christmas )
