Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it's way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of Mary is born again today.

Re: Christmas and New Year songs
One you don't hear very often - all the better for that. Endlessly recycled Xmas songs make you end up hating them! (as an aside one of the few songs that work with a fade in..)

Re: Christmas and New Year songs
That's not just a great Christmas song.That's a great song, full stop.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Christmas and New Year songs
https://bigthink.com/mind-brain/christmas-music-stressToo much Christmas music can damage your mental health
Did you know? Looped music has been used a means of torture.
Hearing too much Christmas music is officially bad for you. The constant barrage of music that starts in November and intensifies until Christmas starts out making people happy, but slowly becomes more and more grating to people as they hear the same songs for the umpteenth time. After a certain point, hearing the music stresses people out. It is particularly bad for people working in sales, who have to learn to tune the music out if they want to function.
The phenomenon behind this is called the "mere exposure" effect. It causes us to like things that are familiar to us, with more frequent interactions with something leading us to have a better opinion of it. It's kind of like Stockholm Syndrome that way, and advertisers often take advantage of it. However, there is a point of over-saturation that causes us to start disliking the thing we're constantly interacting with.
Psychologist Linda Blair explains how festive music can slowly start to stress us out. "People working in the shops [have to tune out] Christmas music, because if they don't, it really does stop you from being able to focus on anything else... You're simply spending all of your energy trying not to hear what you're hearing," she told SkyNews.
If that sounds like torture, you won't be surprised to know that looped music has been used in that capacity before.
