I noticed yesterday the village has started to put up the lamp post decorations at least I don't think they are being lit in the evening

I like Christmas so I can just about accept the mini trees advertising Christmas displays, but a full size tree in October is wrong.

there’s already a small child at the base no doubt getting over excited and nagging his parents for presents.

Lots of it going on in Denmark, there has been for weeks. When I got here 16 years ago, it used to start in December and that was nice.

I've had my invitation from the local farm to go to their annual turkey and wine tasting, 3rd Nov. Can't wait, love it.

There's a house I pass every morning on my commute that has had christmas decorations up for a couple of weeks now.

And I do know a Cycle Chat member (who I won't embarrass ) that puts up the decs in October

I work in a residential care home. The woman who works in the laundry put a CD on today (in a public area), it was some kind of Christmas compilation. It got half way through track 1 before I removed it and hid her CD!

There followed a ding dong battle between her and I regarding the rights and wrongs of playing a Christmas CD on 6th November. She got quite heated about it, at one time telling me that I'm not a manager and that she has the right to play whatever CD's she likes. Yes; in your laundry, I tried to explain; this is NOT Morrison's supermarket (even they haven't started it yet) and the rest of us don't want to be force fed this dross for the next 7 weeks.

We ended up at the manager's office, seeking her opinion. No Christmas music until December is the verdict. Common sense prevails, although I would prefer to see it banned until about mid December.

Mince pies on sale at M+S here in Hong Kong.

Six quid a pack! Still, cheaper than last year

I don't have a photo, but there was a pub out in the Peak District which was advertising its New Year's Eve event in August...
