Begruddled Musings of a Retail Employee at Christmas by Grady Flynn

Be gone, bad taste!

Apart from ‘joy’ and ‘peace’ and general celebration that Christmas time brings, sadly, it also brings tacky Christmas songs played through tinny speakers in the local shopping centre.

The vision of ‘Christmas Carol of the Year’ is to search out and find Christmas songs and carols that are simply, ‘well done’. An inspired arrangement, an angelic vocal, bass guitar that blows your mind! Good music. That’s what this is about.

Be gone, tacky and droll! Be gone, bad taste!

May ‘Christmas Carol of the Year’ inspire you to again, love Christmas music!
