But do they know it's Christmas?

I love the X Factor, and I have some 'special feelings' for Matt Cardle, so I'm very happy for him and his Christmas number one.

But the single was originally called 'Many of Horror'. What does that have to do with Christmas?! I miss the days when Christmas singles were filled with excessive use of percussion instruments and everyone was wearing scarves and gloves. I watched the X Factor religiously, I don't need to see Matt's winner's story in a 3 minute black and white format. I need bells! And snow! And cabins!

Let's take a moment and reflect on how a Christmas Number 1 should be.



They don't make 'em like that any more.
