This is a ceiling speaker in a shop I was in this morning. It was playing contemporary Christmas carols. The song I was treated to was by a singer whose career highpoint was, I suspect, having his music played in downmarket shops over Christmas. As lyrically meaningful as an episode of A Current Affair, it had a line that said something like "did Mary ever guess her son would become the leader of a nation?" Well, I'm an atheist and even I know Jesus never did any nation leadership. Irritating and inaccurate. Resisting the urge to rip the speaker from the ceiling and shout hysterically "I hate Christmas and all its musical accoutrements!!", I quietly bought my bathroom cleaner and left.
