Christmas songs... in June...

I think I might well be the only person who listens to Christmas songs all year round. I'm sure there is some kind of 'Christmas curse' that comes from doing so. Although to be fair, if it stops some fat guy in a red suit from coming down my chimney, helping himself to the contents of my fridge and drinks cabinet, then I'm all for it.

The problem is that christmas songs are so bloody entertaining. They're full of cheer and nice stuff, which is ironic in itself because I hate christmas. Ok, yeah, I'm a real Scrooge. No doubt I'll be visited by the ghost of christmas whatever the hell. Don't worry, I'll be reaching for the salt if some creepy-looking dude tries to drag me off in my pjs. But anyway, my point is... and yes I do have one... is that christmas songs are surprisingly catchy, and I'm not entirely convinced they should be limited to only being played around the season of 'goodwill'.
