I can think of only a few situations where Christmas music is applicable.

• 1st December to make me realise Christmas -is- coming and that I need to think about getting people presents and cards.
• Short car journeys during December lasting no more than 10 minutes
• Whilst cooking the Christmas meal
• Whilst opening Christmas presents
• I can even stand a track or two whilst I'm doing a quick bit of shopping during Christmas.

But Christmas Music Should Not Be Played All Day In The Office. I already feel ill from my annual mossfever and I am struggling to concentrate. With the constant drivel in the background I can barely even think.

And as soon as one CD finishes, someone in the office says "Wendy, music's stopped." or "Put another one, DJ Wendy."

I say "Where's the nearest shotgun. Let's pump every speaker full of shot!"
