Re: [OT]:: And again ...

Seems to be happening again in 2025.

As in other years at precisely this time I'm experiencing an effect
somewhat like GSM frame-rate audio breakthrough in my auditory systems -
completely different frequencies but equally wideband. I've noticed it
occasionally in the past - always at this precise time of year.

Sounds hard to describe but perhaps something like a tinkling of small
bells, a scraping of hooves (perhaps akin to those of *Rangifer tarandus

) And perhaps a distant, deep and resonant 'Ho ho ho'?

NORAD also (ostensibly) get into the act:

UK Defence Journal get quite carried away
