Why Were all the Best Xmas Songs ...
... released in the 1970's?
Strange that, here we are 40 years later, and the songs which put everyone in the Xmas mood are still the very same ones from all those years ago.
Will there be anymore Xmas classics?

Just pop down to your local pound shop if you fancy a bit of pop nostalga, it'll be blearing out over the tannoy whilst you shop for you christmas presents. Christmas is no excuse for spending excessively right Pete!

Oh **** orf 
No decent Xmas songs since the 80s. Went to a Slade concert at the start of the 80s. They started the first few bars of Merry Xmas, we all went potty, then Noddy goes '**** off, it's February, not Xmas. We're not playing that' and proceeded to play something else.... 
Going back a bit more there's the Phil Spector Xmas album ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Christmas-Gi.../dp/B00006RY1R ... crackin' toons!

It's soul destroying. And now to 'get us in the christmas spirit' they have decided to play christmas CDs in the staff canteen, so we can't get away from it. I know it seems a bit bah humbug, but it's just too much, it spoils Christmas a bit.
All that said, I do like Shakin' Stevens 'Merry Christmas, Everyone'.
