No, not that sort. The recent death of Chris Rea made me think. His classic ‘On the Beach’ I always make a point on a hot summers day to open a chilled beer and sit and listen, around late autumn/early winter I wait for a cold, frosty bright day to play Aztec Camera, Walk Out to Winter, Talk Talk and Spirit of Eden is a spring play..again on a warm bright day as spring sets in, U2 October comes out predictably in.. October usually sat at sunrise or sunset with a good coffee or hot chocolate.

I do play these otherwise but I have my seasonal rituals.

Anyone else anything similar?

No, we have 4 Seasons - things that occur in a particular season are seasonal.

Also things that occur at other times of the year can be seasonal such as seasonal workers to help with the harvest.

In the theatre at the seaside actors engage for the summer season (which may encompass late spring to early autumn).

I do agree with On the beach by Chris Rea, I instantly feel the summer vive, same as long hot Summer by the style council.

Well if we are going to say seasonal rather than Christmas then I suppose David Essex's Winter's Tale would be my favourite. Don't think it mentions Christmas though probably implies it.

Summer Vibe by Walk Off The Earth is a good summer song, you can feel the warmth coming off if it.

I was of a mind to include that but as you say it has the taint of Christmas to it, he sings it live at any time..

Mariah Carey’s window breaking screeching lets me know what time of year it is. But yes On The Beach is summer. RIP Chris Rea

The taint of Christmas: that's the 27th-30th Dec, right?
