    Lyric FM just played Greensleeves, not Christmas, but the melody is used in What Child is This. I don't think it was on purpose, but it was amusing to hear on 100-days day :)

    Do you know what, just back from a site meeting and WFH & the day is so cold & miserable I'm not gonna lie, was tempted to give my updated christmas playlist a blast!
    I still might!

    That or listen to another christmas podcast.

    I had bad nights sleep, then work up before my 5am alarm and couldnt get back to sleep so on the way from the gym to work I threw on a Christmas podcast. Am all the better for it.

    Which ones you listening to atm Jude?

    I got as far as the National Lampoons Christmas Vacation one on 'Cant wait for Christmas' and decided to take a break & moved onto Merry Britsmas ones, which i've enjoyed. Well worth a listen.

    This morning was Cant wait for Christmas (CWFC) 070 'The Ber Months'. Only about 15 minutes in to it as that's how long it takes me to get from the gym to work. The guy can be annoying.

    Havnet had a listen to the Merrybritmas one yet. I will give it a go.

    Yeah, to be fair I think Loughc said his voice could be annoying after a while. That's why I've stopped listening to them so regularly & spread them out a bit more.
    Have listened to a couple of the Christmas Past ones too, his voice is the polar opposite & would almost send you to sleep he's so mellow in comparison, I do like learning about the factual side of things though. Will definitely be listening to more of them too.

    Okay, this will sound weird but that MerryBritmas podcast is too christmasy for me at this time of the year, hearing slade etc is too much right now.

    I've found our local one is great for picking up one off decorations overs the year.

    Hey all,

    Looking to get a real tree this year for the first time in a very long time and I can't wait!

    Does anyone know roughly when they go on sale? I was hoping to get something the last week in November...

    Thanks.

    There’s definitely some places with real trees on sale last week of November. But remember with real trees they don’t last too long so best to hold off as long as you can to buy it.

    Ah yes of course, I should've remembered that.

    Was only thinking to myself this morning on the drive in, that I never really listen to Christmas music before Christmas FM launches, but could really do with some today.
