I enjoy Christmas but!!

[johnboywalton]

I always enjoy Christmas, but I went into Costco today and was shocked to find two large rows of Christmas bits i.e. cards, ornaments, wrapping paper etc.
I think I was more shocked at the amount if people buying the stuff.
We are just into September surely this is too early??

You dont start paying for your holiday the month you are due to go!
I hate advertising Christmas before the start of December I have to say, shops can sell what they want, but bloody sleighbells and images of snow surrounded bottles of Baileys in October/November is just a bit premature and it will be worse this year as the shops will be expecting slow trade.

All the big supermarkets are gearing up and Tescos near us are out with the decorations, chocolates and crackers

They could at least let halloween pass. it seems to get earlier each year.

I've said it before - the "C" word should be banned between 6th January and 1st December.
If you need to start thinking about it now then you're taking it too seriously.

The Scarbrough Taps pub in Leeds had it's tree up on the 1st of September.
How does that work?

Since they are a wholesaler supplying to the trade, then September is a bit late to be starting. Our local Costco has had this stuff out since July. It'll change by November as they go into the Spring stock.

HID works in a supermarket and she was saying that they nearly missed their christmas order as they had to order their bulk items before the 1st September. The stuff has started arriving into their store - Advent calenders, sweetie stockings etc :-/

I begrudge spending all my hard earned money on kids at Christmas when I could be treating myself so some shiny new golf gear
