I know I wrote something similar around this time last year but I have just seen my first Santa plush toy this morning. It's August 4.

There was a news story the other day that said retailers are trying to get people into the Xmas mood early so that they'll BUY BUY BUY! I think it will have the opposite effect. Like most people I know, I'm repulsed!

I think a lot of people get sick of the overkill element, certainly. And what with the current economic situation, it wouldn't surprise me if retailers started wheeling out the same tat considerably earlier. Thankfully, not having a TV, I can avoid most of it.
