To ask - Can You Be Whamageddoned in November?

Ok so just after 4pm this afternoon it finally happened… I was Whamageddoned - in a coffee shop in the town centre.

I mean how rude !!!!!

However I think I heard Last Christmas first at the very end of November - 29th I think.

So tell me - I know I’ve been well and truly Whamageddoned now but is November too early ? Someone said November doesn’t count.

is he right?

Blimey, I didn't realise there were actual rules and website for this. How daft. What's the point of it, except to get people posting about it on FB?

Why doesn't it count? I mean some people will start playing Christmas music in November, whereas no-one plays it from January to October, do they?

When you hear it, you hear it.

Edited

Because that's not the rule of the game! The rules are perfectly clear: it runs in December only, up to midnight on Christmas Eve.
