Thank you, Mr. M! Are the stations in England all playing Christmas tunes on Dec. 25th or is there at least some variety of sticking to their regular formats?

Merry Christmas R.A. and to all SOWNY contributors. Hope your Christmas was a pleasant one indeed.
Stations (O.T.A.) here in England,
play a mixed variety of Christmas and regular tunes. No one is doing Christmas tunes 24/7 as they are, back there. I just don't personally see the point in it.
Some folks, on the big yellow board, have made reference to a fairly new station, here in the UK, called BOOM RADIO. They have been playing a superb lineup of Christmas songs, mixed in with other fine songs. They reached into their musical Christmas stocking and pulled out a Louis Armstrong hit, from the 50s, called "IS THAT YOU, SANTA CLAUS? "
Had the station on while we were driving to our daughter's house for Christmas.  Almost drove into a lamp pole when it came on.
I remember hearing it when I was a child, growing up in Etobicoke.
Their variety can't be beat.
All seasonal tunes are mixed in with regular music.  A great format if you can listen to them.
From Peggy Lee, The Lettermen, to Bert Kaempfert, and so on.
Hope I've answered your question R.A. All the best from our family to all of you, back there !
Have a pleasant New Year.
Hi Dale...yes indeed, Happy Boxing Day!

Cheers!
