Dec 7 2020

Let’s face it, no one can escape Christmas music in December.

Like it or hate it, it’s in our homes, our stores, our TVs and everywhere in between but the good news is that listening to Christmas music can actually release endorphins, otherwise known as happy hormones, which are chemicals which release stress and pain.

Psychologist Dr. Becky Spelman argues that Christmas music bring back childhood memories and stimulate excitement, which means that playing some Michael Bublé with your dinner can’t hurt!

The inquiry investigates whether or not the State did enough to prevent the Caruana Galizia car bombing, looking into various witnesses including ex-Prime Minister Joseph Muscat.
