It's officially Christmas!

I'm a teacher so it's not Christmas until term ends.

Evil bitch mother in law has sent the biggest naff card as usual, but this year my names not on it. I can't decide what to to. Either shred it and leave it on the mantelpiece or draw something on the front of it?

Either way, you know she's thinking about you!

It's funny that people feel obliged to spend a fortune to celebrate Christmas, just because there's some poxy advert on the telly featuring a dog on a trampoline, but don't feel obliged to go to church. Maybe the church should employ some of the marketing geniuses who come up with these manufactured capitalist holidays if they want to halt falling attendances.

I guess it depends where you live. I went to this place six weeks ago. All the kneelers were recently embroidered. They didn't buy them on Amazon. There was a pub within fifty yards. Just a small community, Zennor, west Cornwall. It seemed easy in its own skin.

St Senara.

About 4 weeks before Christmas then.

I sat in the bath and concluded I should have posted this one instead, thanks for the nudge.

'Kin' 'ell! I'd rather fakkin listen to Cliff Michelmore.

Bring the 'story' up to date.

This is more like it! Makes more sense to me than the fairytale we've been led to believe.

Time to order the mince pies and brandy.

They could/should be consumed any day of the year.

I've been stocking up on whisky for the last 6 weeks or so and also stashed away a couple of rather nice wines for the big day.
I bought a bottle of cognac as well last weekend.
The wife had been stocking up the 'Christmas food cupboard' since September.
I saw the coca-cola advert for the first time last night and it's getting busy at work.
We're going present shopping this weekend.

Yep it's the Christmas season already!

I was in the loft this afternoon looking for something so I took the opportunity to get the tree and the bags of decorations down

They're in the guest bedroom for now....waiting for December 1
