this is my first time doing a christmas eve. Should i look at the party as a normal gig or do things change a little as christmas eve?

Its christmas man so do the christmas songs....
On christmas eve i used to do a pub and i always used to start on the fairytale of new york because if you listen to the 1st line of the song it says "it's christmas eve babe"

I'm doing my local pub tonight, the place where I do my Request Fest nights and the punters are all Indie kids, emos, punks, metalheads etc etc so it's been billed as 'The alternative Xmess party'. There will be loads of Xmas tunes as well as some alternative xmas tunes and loads of the usual stuff.

Can't wait!

usually xmas eve partys are the same as every other gig, loads of party tunes and people up for a good time. Unless you are expecting it to be like a funeral?
