It's December

On my ride home this evening, some rowdy gents ushered in December with a chorus of Christmas carols. I got to hear 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer', 'White Christmas', 'Away in a Manger', 'Last Christmas' (which is quite popular here), and a few other tunes that I forget. Not that I forget the songs, mind, just the titles. I was giggling away, though, because they were so loud and off-key and jolly in their drunken/belligerent state.

I also got to hear the 'no smoking' message on the bus for the first time. Yes, they were smoking, too, those multi-tasking Dubliners!

And, yes, they do also sing the 'like Monopoly' line in 'Rudolph'.
