Yes, the Christmas season is upon us. In most retail establishments it as been upon us for several weeks now. And with the Christmas festivities we also have the start of Whamageddon 2024!
The point of the game is to make it from December 1 to December 24 without hearing the song Last Christmas by the group Wham! With nearly every radio station blasting out Christmas tunes and retail stories doing the same, it is a challenge to be sure.
The wife had a doctor appointment this afternoon. I drove her over there and promptly had to sit and wait. I brought a book to pass the time, so I set about reading to keep myself occupied.
I was tired from the wee doggy waking me up at 5:00 AM, and when I read while I’m tired it leads to me sleeping. I took a tiny nap waiting for the doctor to arrive. I was awakened after a short time when the doctor entered the office. He went over the wife’s medical issues and made plans for his recommended course of treatment. He left so it was back to waiting for the nurse to come in with the paperwork to sign, while going over everything the doctor discussed.
That’s when it happened. I hadn’t even realized there was music playing in the background, it was so faint. But then I could hear music playing. I focused on it to see if I could figure out what song was on.
You guessed it. Wham!’s Last Christmas.
I have fallen in the Whamageddon in only three days. Ugh!
For all the rest of you Whamageddon Warriors, keep the faith! You’ll make it to the end and be victorious, so all of us who have already fallen can be victorious vicariously through you.
