    Depends on the place, a lot of department stores/grocery stores/radio channels I know transition back into regular music on the 26th (with the possible exception of Old Lang Syne and Winter Wonderland), some stick with it until New Year's Eve then transition back into regular music at midnight.

    Auld.


    Still in the clear, but that was pretty much a given.

    Like Cor, I thought the contest went until 12/31. In my area, some stations start playing Christmas music as early as November 1st while most I think started the Friday after Thanksgiving. Philly's B101.1 played Christmas music all weekend after Christmas and my wife was sad that it was gone today (Monday morning).

    Well, the New Year is four and a half hours away, Australian EST, so I've made it. Got the food and beer in and it appears I've made it out of the end of this thing intact.

    So I also made it by the official deadline...then Whamm'ed myself a few days ago "just because". And interestingly, I actually found myself enjoying it more than I remembered in past years.:p I still think the lyrics are pretty bad (I especially dislike the "someone spe-cial" part) and the backing music is mainly cheesy, but I do like George Michael's voice a lot and, as I mentioned before, the song has a strong nostalgia factor for me since it came out when I was a teen.

    It's a Pandemic Whamageddon miracle! Happy New Year to all...

    They certainly do where I live. The one supermarket trip when I was subjected to Christmas songs was the day after Boxing Day, when I had to restock several items. Weird, but true.

    This song has moved up the U.K. singles charts according to some articles. The articles say this is based on downloads.
