As the first quarter of the year draws to a close, I’m somewhat surprised that people are still viewing a series of blogs I posted at Christmas – imaginatively entitled ‘The 12 Blogging Questions of Christmas’. Are people accidentally stumbling across these posts or are there folk out there who just can’t abide parting with the festive period? To them, every day is Christmas Day.
These are the people who still have their Christmas decorations up and who binge watch Hallmark Christmas movies which all have the same plot and, more often than not, the same cast of jobbing actors. Their fridge never runs low on cranberry sauce and you can be guaranteed a glass of eggnog if you drop round to politely complain about the constant Michael Buble soundtrack pumping through the speakers.
April Fools Day is just around the corner and I must be ever vigilant against the hatchlings who will be queuing up to make a fool of their clueless father. Is the assault on my Christmas blogs an early strike on their part? It’s another theory to consider as the daily viewing of them continues. Are Santa and his big eared helpers starting early this year? Has the Easter Bunny downed tools and gone on strike?
I will continue to monitor this startling situation and keep you all updated in the weeks and months ahead. You’re welcome, it’s the least I can do. For it’s only 270 days until the big day again and you can never be too organised. Why wait when you can dive waist deep into Yuletide themed blogs written by some strange bloke from Northern Ireland. Watch this space, people.
Why do people read Christmas themed blogs in March?
Wish I had an answer! But, I ‘do’ know people who keep the Christmas thing going on till March! They do exist!
Wait….maybe it’s THEM!

No idea. I’m puzzling over why some people are reading Eurylochus Laments a poem I published a year ago. I mean why read the fourth part of a six-part sequence and none of the others?

It’s possible that this particular post pops up as a suggestion. When I first subscribed, you were suggested from a post much earlier then when I joined your ever growing fans. Or maybe people just want to look for something to respond to, or maybe they just love Christmas. The good thing is that people are reading and responding 🙂

I think the internet is a funny thing in that you can stumble across many things ‘out of time’ and not always realise it (although a blog about Christmas is one of the more obvious things…)

I am guilty of that sometimes. Sometimes you come across stuff that you missed at Christmas, seems like a waste not to read it. Plus surely the elf’s are already at work on this years presents and compiling the naughty list.

To me, it’s no different than looking up a back issue of a magazine to read (or re-read) an article.
