Noticed the Christmas chocolate isle had appeared in my local large Tesco at the start of September! Shouldn't be allowed until after Bon Fire night or Halloween at least!

My freezer has mince pies and the fridge has home made mince meat all the year round.

I bloomin' hate Christmas, it's a very hard time for me, and find it very depressing that it now begins at the beginning of September. I have 4 months of 'ho ho ho'. A third of a year of it.
I too think that Crimbo stuff shouldn't be out until after bonfire night. Actually the whole rush rush rush of the supermarkets pushing the year round early really irritates me. Easter eggs in January, as well as the push for valentines as soon as Crimbo is over. Then again, the back to school stuff is in the shops before the poor kids have even broken up.
We have avoided the 'seasonal' aisle.

swmbo got a fantastic Stollen recipe from our German tutor, but by the time its been made it costs around three times that of the shop bought, mind you it does involve pouring a pound of melted butter over the finished bake, hmmmm colestral and saturated fat.

BTW, the Lidl stuff is German and is very very good.
