>>>Christmas songs are usually played to get people into a nice mood, but appearantly you react differently. Have you considered seeing a shrink? (Duck!)

>>BTW compare "Happy Christmas, war is over" with "Screwball was a racehorse" - practically the same tune.

>I haven't noticed the similarity between "Happy Christmas, war is over" and "Screwball was a racehorse", but now that you mention it, I must agree. I always was a big Peter, Paul and Mary fan.

>By the way, I understand perfectly what you mean by your reaction to Slade's "So he ot is--". Two weeks before Christmas, I spent a prolonged weekend in Copenhagen with my wife, and in one of the pubs they played nothing but Christmas song for more than two hours. I don't think you are able to name any Christmas "hit" from the last 50 years which was not played, they palyed everything from Bing Crosby to Chris Rea, Slade, Wizard, John Lennon, Kim Wilde, Elvis...! But avtually it was kind of fun, I guess I had too many Carlsbergs ...

So long as you didn't get any Chris de Burghs!
