electriclandThere's nothing more calculated to get me out of the Christmas spirit than that "song" whose chorus goes something like:
"Simply, ha-aving, a wonderful Christmas time.
Simply, ha-aving, a wonderful Christmas time."
And it repeats and repeats and repeats AND REPEATS until I want to scream. And there's synthesizer music. The singer sounds like he has a range of maybe half an octave and the whole effect is vaguely British boy-band, although I may be doing British boy-bands an injustice there.
[ETA:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tylerpistol and calebbullen tell me it's Paul McCartney and Wings. Grrrrrrr to Paul McCartney and Wings, I say!]
Anyway, if you get a Christmas card from me that seems a little random, that'll probably be why.
In much happier news, our project manager had her baby yesterday! A little early. It's a 6-lb girl. We are all quite excited.

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
AAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Enough with the frelling ding dongs!!!
Beatles good. Wings not so much. Wings Christmas music very very bad.
Cu,
Andrew
AAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
