If you think it's a bit early for Christmas stuff, don't read this...

A local supermarket has an aisle full of advent calendars, and several lical eateries have got their Christmas advertising up.

An ex-work colleague, with whom I keep in touch, will surely be sending me photos of shops full of Xmas tat, very soon. She loves Christmas, I am a miserable curmudgeon about it.

Well last weekend the wife made our Christmas pudding and I made a batch of mincemeat

In a few weeks it’s time to make the Christmas cake and the pickles/chutney plus my chilli jam.
Bloody love Christmas me.

We went for a walk in and around lovely Eyam a couple of months ago - there was a house with the lights festooned around the outside.
To be fair it was during the day so they obviously weren't on, but I imagine they never actually come down.

Is it time for the Christmas avatars then?

This thread has made me depressed at the thought of the C word. I hang on long enough before starting the festive period and I don't really enjoy C*******s until it is over.

I've seen the odd festive box of chocolates, but my local Morrison's is rammed with Halloween tat. For once this year I may get started on my shopping early and actually send some Christmas cards.

A few years ago one of the kids went all eco-warrior on us and asked if we really needed a real tree, we'd trid potted trees with no success and Beautiful Wife was heard to say "Papa can make one..." I eventually glued together some cardboard and painted same thinking it would tide us over until I could make/get a better version.

Of course we're still using it several years later...

I've already seen a Christmas magazine in our local superstore that begins with an 'A' (but spelling out their name turns it into an advert on this forum, so I'll deny them some advertising mileage out of what I write) & they have warning leaflets for fireworks on display. Just waiting for next years Easter eggs....

Despite my dislike of Christmas and the festive season, I REALLY do enjoy eating Christmas cake and pudding.

I don't think it would be a problem to eat a slice or two of each EVERY day.
