Why is this non-humerous drivel given prominance on the editorial board? It's not even worthy of a sidebar in Style.

The letter of "Do they know its Christmas" relegates it to a particular season, but the spirit of "Do they know its Christmas" should continue year round.

I hate to break it to you, but Santa made his list and checked it twice early this holiday season. There's already a lump of coal in YOUR stocking.
Nanny nanny boo boo. I LOL'd at every one of these modified song names, and my stocking is already with yummy ComPost.

hey talitha1, this SHOULD be front page stuff. they keep pushing this Christmas music earlier and earlier every year. it stinks and worse, ITS WRONG. its just plain wrong. they end up ruining the holidays for everyone becasue they have be the first moron to play a Christmas carol when its 65 degrees out. there ought to be a law. only after Thanksgigiving and only intermittently.

I Heard The Bells On Veteran’s Day
Up On The Housetop Is The Only Place You Can Get Away From All This Darn Christmas Music

Yikes! Santa's double posting elf has gotten to me again.
Suggestion for Anup: How about disabling the "Post" button after it's clicked.
Suggestion for other commenters: Don't end up like me. Only click "Post" once even if you don't get any response the first time.
