Oh yes. You have hit upon one of the worst Xmas songs ever. We all know the song but this version will never make it onto any Christmas playlist I ever create. The Twisted Sister version is quite amusing in a dumb way.

Now I think about it. The Nat King Cole song, The Little Boy That Santa Forgot is shocking as well.

At then risk of transmuting into Super Scrooge - I hate every single one of those awful saccharine rubbish ditties. They follow you everywhere. Go in the supermarket and Slade and Cliff Richard et all are there droning away in the background. I can manage a couple of Carols and then that's it. Perhaps Palace should release 'Glad All Over' as a Christmas hit? Roll on New Year. (I may have become Grumpymort.)

The truth is, I cannot abide ANY Christmas song, in fact I cannot abide anything to do with Christmas.My wife tells all and sundry that I am "Bah Humbug" and she is 100% right.No Christmas tree or any decorations in our house.I will be elated when it is all over.

Absolutely NOT. Don't eat all that turkey.

I shall be spending it alone whilst my wife is enjoying Christmas fayre with our daughter,her husband and the in-laws.I have been invited out of courtesy but I politely declined which they fully expected.Cannot abide the whole thing.

Willo, you may have mis-read my post. I was referring to the FOOTBALL fayre over Christmas.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I agree, Willo. I think Scrooge gets a bad press generally. He was fine until those three ghosts came along and turned him into a right old poof.
