For the uninitiated, the goal is to make it to Dec. 24 without hearing Last Christmas by Wham! It’s harder than you think, with stores playing clandestine Christmas music, ostensibly to encourage you to spend more, and radio stations putting it into rotation.
Only the original version by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley applies; you’re safe if you overhear a cover version. You’re out of the game — and sent to Whamhalla — as soon as you recognize the song. It is considered poor form to purposely Wham! your friends and family.
Oh, did you come here for a weather report? We’ve got that, too.
There is a chance of flurries on Friday and throughout the weekend, with temperatures popping above the freezing mark during the day.
Expect a high of 3 C Friday, with a wind chill of minus-6 in the morning and a UV index of 1, or low. At night, a low of 0 C.
Note to readers: The following YouTube video is presented to familiarize yourself with Last Christmas. Do not hit the play button after Dec. 1, lest you send yourself to Whamhalla.
