I was doing some Christmas shopping this afternoon and I came across this in a shop:

It's a Daniel O'Donnell Christmas card When you open it up it plays his version of Silent Night. Who on earth would buy this? And if that wasn't bad enough, they had Michael Buble and 1D Christmas cards!

BTW I posted this in Music as it's music-related, though I use the term loosely where DO'D, Buble and 1D are concerned

Fantastic, what shop was it?

Easons in Ireland. Do they have any similar cards on sale in the UK?

awww thought you were in uk, my missus would hate one of those, was thinking of getting one. I haven't seen any like that

Have a look in WHSmith (the UK equivalent to Easons) and see what they have. I emailed the photo to my aunt. She'll die laughing

my mam used to love o'donnel, truly appalling, cant look at him without thinking of Eoin McLove form Father Ted

I don't see the appeal of him at all. He must be the soppiest man ever. His music has all the personality of a wet fish and why does he always have to go on about his mammy? Did you know he also has a Visitor Centre in Donegal? http://www.danielodonnellvisitorcentre.com/

ha ha, surely that is a piss take website lol, He has done 31 studio albums

No, that place exists. Can't imagine why anyone would want to go there though. 31 albums? Of what? Of the soppiest songs in the history of mankind?

Excellent present for your granny.

glad my mam moved to England lol

Imagine a Slayer one - Angel Of Death scream?

Definitely Wonder how many grannies will be getting DO'D-related stuff this Christmas?

true story about my granny

They live in a place called Oldtown, Co. Dublin, middle of nowhere to us from our council estate in Manchester. There was 1 shop, a church, a pub and a water pump, my granny was barred from the bloody pub for fighting. She was 60 odd

Sounds like Eskra, Co Tyrone.

another place to avoid then

I've just seen that you can order personalised DO'D Christmas cards from his fanclub: http://www.danielodonnellfanclub.com...ws&news_id=473

I'm surprised his fanclub has a website. I thought most grannies didn't use the internet much?

I'm surprised he has fans

Let's all enjoy some Daniel

So am I. How can anyone like him? He has all the personality of a wet fish. My mum has a 'Best Of' DVD she bought cheap in a discount store but apart from that she's not much of a fan. She's in her 60s.

Thanks for uploading your dvd truth

I remember thinking Brendan Shine was a bit twee, but he was quite hardcore compared to this

If the personalised Christmas cards wasn't enough, how about this gem? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Greatest-Hit.../dp/B00005NIJQ

Is there a Justin Bieber Christmas card?

Or One Direction?

There is a One Direction card and I saw it today as well. They also had a Michael Buble one There's no accounting for taste, is there?

I hate pan pipes
