I did Birmingham last year, wasn't massively impressed tbh. I suppose it's what you go for really, the overpriced food and drink wasn't so bad. 😂

I’ve started listening to new Christmas music to see what I want to add to my playlist this weekend. Also, heard Wham in M&S yesterday so I’m out of whamagheddon!

The soundtrack to new film 'Oh. What. Fun.' has lots of good names on it - including Fleet Foxes! This song released yesterday:

I limit myself to 1 bit of food and a couple of drinks on the actual market (might have a couple more in spoons 😆) then literally spend my time wandering round looking at everything etc posing, going on the wheels etc (brummie has the biggest 🌭 though 🤣 manchesters is tiny in comparison 🤣🤣)

Whamageddon doesn't start until December because, quite reasonably, the idea of listening to Christmas songs in November is insane

I just caught it while out and about. Agreed though Re too many songs (and décor 😆) too early these days)!

It's a made up festival anyway. Set on a date that bears no relation to date estimated as the birth of Christ and was just picked/stolen to suppress the original Pagan festivals of Yule and Saturnalia.

In that sense it's all wrong.

Personally I'm willing to put up with it lasting from Advent Sunday until Twelfth Night for practising Christians but everything else is commercially driven guff.

Each to their own though I guess.

Personally I feel everyone should be able to enjoy it how they want too much shit going on in life anyway
