Christmas torture

I am not sure how this is in other countries, but there's a very strange (yet unofficial) German tradition to torture people with the very same christmas songs on radio every year.

And this morning it happened to me again, the first time I heard Wham!'s "Last Christmas" on radio and it is rather sure that they will play it again at least any other day.

While this is a pretty good motivation for me to leave bed and switch off the radio, it feels like torture and lets my day start with an very unpleasant event (I indeed dislike - or even hate - this song).

To show an alternative, I want to recommend Aimee Mann's new christmas album "One more drifter in the snow". If you really need some christmas songs to get into the mood.
