Shop bought never home made or nothing.

commas, commas, commas ..

Shop bought, never home made, or nothing
Shop bought, never home made or nothing
Shop bought never, home made or nothing

They make all the difference ...

I’ve already booked the family pantomime.
Good seats were hard to get and the shows in the 2 weeks around Christmas are already 75% booked.

Oh no they weren't. 😂

3 weeks ago I spent two days in a local school hall recording a Christmas CD.
Bit strange playing Christmas carols in June whilst wearing shorts and nipping out for ice cream between takes

Aren’t all Christmas songs recorded about now.
I’m sure I’ve heard Slade and Wizard say the same.

It's a thing, not just in music. Huge market, recently exacerbated by Covid and nobody wants to miss out on it.

Mariah will be number one, unless a Ukrainian band has done a cover.

It won't snow either.

Events large and small are marketed well in advance depending on scale, availability and demand. Why anyone thinks something as competitive as the Christmas market is any different is beyond me.

Some of my movie channels have Santa Claus films....for crying out loud, its July!

The Range had Hallowe'en tat on July 15 last year.

No one complains when summer holidays are advertised in January.
It’s just that over commercialisation of Christmas is seen as a bad thing.

Seems it’s more about the timings than anything else to me.

Films too.
My eldest was an extra in the film Get Santa. Filming was in May.
My youngest was furious because the production company needed them to be 16 or over and they missed out by two weeks!

Just look at it as having a taster of Christmas in the Antipodean spirit of things!
