    Haha no, and I don't think I could- I just hate the song so much! :p

    It's the only Christmas song I don't like though- I think everyone's allowed one! :o

    We'll be doing some small tests on the 28th but the official programming is on 29th at 8am. Its a temp license issue that says we can't be on the airwaves before that.

    At the moment myself and the other presenters are doing dry runs, basically we're doing practice shows which aren't aired so that when it does go live we are familiar with all the equipment and it sounds flawless.

    I'm listening to it at the moment on 105.5FM!! Arguably it's better now than when the DJs are waffling. Just music, music and more music! :D

    edit: I've been listening about 40 minutes and I've heard Feliz Navidad and Fairytale twice already! I suppose that's to expected since they're not officially broadcasting yet. Pity.

    So it's nearly back again. Anybody else remember the guy on St Stephen's Day last year welling up as he said goodbye? I can't remember his name but I think he was the programme director or something like that. Can't believe it's come round again so soon.

    I've been listening to the sample stuff that's playing and there was not one instance of "Christmas Shoes"!!! Maybe they're not going to play this "classic" :D Anyway I'll be up at 8am on Tuesday to hear the start of it like last year. They never said "we're back!" or anything like that last year. You'd think they'd say "Hello again" or something. They just started as if they had been on all year!

    Anybody else waiting eagerly for Tuesday?

    I am, can't wait! I'll be setting my alarm to be up in time for the start!
    I hope they thank all of us who are sacrificing a rare lie-in so they can get up and listen to it all begin! :D
