First signs

[Red17]

Seems far to early, but our local butcher had his sign out yesterday saying that they are taking Christmas orders.

Just spoken with my son who is in Salisbury and his local co-op had mince pies in today.

It's not even the end of September 😂

I complain about too much Christmas nonsense as much as anyone but to be fair, businesses do need to plan and hope people have their orders in early so they can have stuff in stock, etc.

The pub at the end of the street has had a banner advertising their Christmas menu up for weeks, could even have been August.

We had "Easter Chocolate" in Lidl yesterday.

Went I home bargain last week. They had a full aisle of Christmas tatt.

Our local Wilko has its Hallowe'en stuff out already which I though a bit soon but in the next aisle is the first of the Christmas stuff.

I have just seen my first Christmas advert on TV tonight. This is mad, far too early. It is still summer FFS !!

Only 98 sleeps until Christmas, or 24 if you are an insomniac.

I'm sure Noddy Holder is counting up the top up to his pension fund.

I worked in a toy warehouse for a couple of months back in the day. We were flat out with Christmas overtime in July and the manufacturers were in full flow much earlier. The Christmas trade shows were held in January and February. It is a precarious business, having to guess what will still be in vogue nearly twelve months hence, get it wrong and you're dead in the water.

I finished the last of my reduced price Lidl chocolate Santas last week so could do with some more.

Our local Quality Save had a full Christmas aisle when I went in earlier today, I left well alone, I'll do my Christmas shopping on Christmas eve. 😂

God, I hate Christmas! Not the religious aspect of it, it's the commercial part and the faux 'Best wishes' to those you don't give a toss about, or them about you.🧐

I can understand that; I also find the whole business of presents, both finding them for others and receiving them, rather stressful.
