Unusual May Day Schedule

Disney Channel jumps ahead a few months... (April 2005)

This May Day, instead of airing a day of Mary Poppins or back to back Lizzie McGuire, they've decided to air a day of wait for it...
CHRISTMAS PROGRAMMES AND FILMS!

Maybe it's just me that thinks that its wrong, I don't know, but it seems a very strange choice. The idea from the trailer is that as Santa is always busy they're giving him the chance to watch the Disney Christmas programmes and movies.

The promo even contains a lovely looking endboard that wasn't around last Christmas. Perhaps they commissioned graphics that weren't ready and so are using them in may, I don't know, but it does seem strange, or is it just me?

Isn't it 8, surely as it's only April 19th (hopefully it's 8, I need to start some serious saving!).

My other thinking is that Disney Channel have shownt too many back to back eps and films with Easter only a few weeks back, perhaps they fancied a change. And I'll most probably end up watching, something I wouldn't have said for Lizzie 'May'guire Day.

Yep!!! Christmas in July is on 25th July and thereafter on the 25th of every month until Christmas is "Countdown to Christmas". Well, there goes another year!!! So..any thoughts on this years BBC1 Christmas Ident? After all there's just 36 weeks left to Christmas. Better start writing out your cards.
