If you want festive atmosphere during Christmas, go to Puerto Rico. Lively songs and excellent food.

Original Last Christmas is the best. Born too late.

Somehow the article completely misses the point of Christmas.Sure, there are a few melancholy songs around but not important in the slightest.

Christmas is a time to be jolly, kind and to think of others. I can imagine for those alone without families it could be a rather upsetting time of year.

1980s pop group Wham!‘s “Last Christmas”: “Last Christmas I gave you my heart/ But the very next day you gave it away.”
This is playing non-stop in London. And, loving it.
