Christmas music
America and England are not the same place. I know this, but sometimes I am reminded in the funniest ways, One, that gets me every year is our different Christmas music. Firstly, we sing Christmas carols to different tunes. I think I have more or less got the US tunes figured out now, but it's an adjustment when you have sung something every year forever and suddenly you have to sing up when you have always sung down?!...anyway, we will see how I do switching back for Christmas in England this year?!
What is more sad to me however, is the omission of some of my favourite Christmas songs from playlists here. I understand that not ever song that was a hit in the UK crosses over the pond with the same following, but there are some classics that you, my American friends are missing out on.
One aspect of Christmas songs that is not carried over here, is the race for the Christmas number 1. I will try and educate you, and I hope this will bring forth understanding, as education should. Each Christmas the most popular bands wait and release their attempt for the Christmas number 1 right at the last minute, what is a more perfect stocking filler than a CD single? However, this highly contested number 1 spot, also has the old school, mum's favoutries releasing singles too, and then the novelty entiries. All together, this makes for a very interesting race. Here are a few favourites and examples of songs that either got the Chrisstmas number 1 spots, were fierce contenders or are simply glam rock classics that we as a nation refuse to let die. Enjoy!!

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa.
