27th December for me because that is when I buy the things I need for the next Christmas at half the price before this years Christmas

I doubt they'll stop playing it altogether. What are they doing, censoring that line?Update --- Seemingly the PC brigade have recently decided The Pogues " Fairytale of New York" is now inappropriate for radio play. After they discovered the word "*** " hidden in the lyrics , after about 30 odd years.

I hope they play the 'safe' version of ''Don't marry her''
Heard the PC version this morning and they’ve changed the offending word to haggot.
I’m sure there are plenty of haggots getting offended by this

I've heard people doing cover versions where they changed it to "you're cheap and you're haggered" - but I didn't think it was possible to change the original, given that Kirsty MacColl who sang it is dead and all.
I might have misheard it, as I was on the train at the time and the woman next to me was pretty vocal on her phone

Well that is sexist and ageist at the same time so it probably has to go. Not to mention victimising poor defenceless drug users.

The lighting of the first Advent candle that signals the start of the period of Advent throughout which we prepare and, with anticipation, we wait patiently for Christmas Day to be upon us.
And choir rehearsals start for our service of nine lessons and carols
(well what else would you expect me to say )

to be followed shortly afterwards by complaints that 1) they have got smaller 2) they don't taste the same

You see an advert for a Christmas club offering to pay for everything for December 2019's festivities.
