“Christmas is All Around” is song from the movie Love Actually, where Bill Nighy plays an aging rockstar trying to achieve the Christmas number-one with a desperate, schlocky song.
Last year I heard it playing on a broadcast Christmas radio station.
This year on the radio, I heard an earnest COVER of the song.
if we repeat this cycle enough times—and knowing how desperate we are to add to the stale canon of Christmas songs, we will—maybe Billy Mack will get that number one for reals.
