Too early for the C word..

[Mudball]

Look away now. Selfridge just opened their Christmas Store. I havent decided what I am doing for the Aug Bank holiday weekend and now apparently Christmas is around the corner.
Someday we will have New year and next Christmas start at the same time.

Have you got your tree up yet?

for a minute I thought you meant Colchester!

Why don't they just leave their Christmas section open all year round? It's obviously going that way, and then at least we won't have to be outraged when it gets earlier every year.

Christmas ? Surely you mean the “festive season”.

 

[Imurg]

Hush!!
Not December yet!

Christmas ? Surely you mean the “festive season”.

Is that a EU legislation or UK one?.., First christmas where we will be serving kippers

The whole Festive season is ridiculous now, shops have it out far to early and it's far to commercial nowadays. By the time Christmas day actually comes round now it's a huge damp squib of a let down because you've had enough of it being shoved in your faces for months on end.

Bah Humbug

Just an early start to retailers Winterval? As Winterval was a Brummie invention to encompass a load of festivals including Christmas - maybe then retailers are perfectly entitled to decide when their very own Winterval starts...and so it comes to pass
