Christmas is here

[Sysman]

Lovely day here, and the sun has very definitely got his hat on. 25°C outside.

Oddly, I can hear the refrain of Christmas carols.

P.S. Poking around iTunes radio last week I found a "Holiday music" section which contained a load of stations devoted to Christmas all the year round. Weird or what?

PPS When I saw "Holiday music" I was thinking of "Off to Sunny Spain" and the like, but noooo. "Holiday music" to the septics obviously means "Christmas", but they daren't use the word.

I noticed that when I was shopping on line yesterday. There should be a law against it.

In the US there are two 'events' to concentrate the minds of the stores: Halloween and the big one Thanksgiving. You hardly here about xmas until thanks giving is over.

In the UK, as soon as the August bank holiday is over its xmas, xmas, xmas until everyone is sick of the thing. It's no wonder fights break out, marriages breakdown and murder happen so much over that period.

We need a national holiday to take peoples minds off of it somewhere between August and Year end. There are two possibilities: Agincourt day (25 Oct) -where we trashed the French, or November 5 - where a valiant freedom attempt was foiled.

You might be right HAB. The annual BS fest is a nightmare for me as I almost always end up travelling halfway up the country visiting people - what you're not coming? But it's Christmas (you heartless bitch).
If it wasn't sold so hard maybe I'd get less grief? I'll give it a week until my family 'mention' it.

PS - I actually like the idea of peace on Earth and goodwill to all men.

**** off! Chrissie is great. Some of you lot need to get out and try running a retail business for once rather than these psuedo ltd co's!

Retail has to make as much money from the christmas run in to help tide them over for the rest of the year.

Don't worry, if the PC brigade got their way it probably will soon be illegal to sell anything Christmas-related.

There was a fella on the Anglia news years ago, who had a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings EVERY day.

Decorations up all year round. Christmas jumper. Total nut job (takes on to know one )

He must have had arteries like shagpile carpets

There's an all year round christmas store on the way to edinburgh after you leave the M74.

Not sure of its exact location.
