Christmas Commercialism

This time of year, it’s like Christmas threw up, EVERYWHERE! For the lovers of everything yuletide, it’s like a kid in a candy shop, but for those who are partial to just a little festive cheer (but not a full-on face plant into a tinsel overdose), it can be like a smack in the face with one too many inflatable Santas! And when it comes to massive recording artists busting out the Christmas tunes in an attempt to rehash their flailing careers every year, there’s really only one name you need to know!

Our tip to avoid the onslaught of Christmas-sy cheer? Online shopping!
