The Spectre Of Christmas

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.

I haven't seen any yet. Mind I may have to be buying early for Xmas this year becuse I will be away in early December.

It seems to get more ridiculous every year. :P

That is quite scary. I swear it gets earlier every year in the UK. Nothing like that ever appears in Thailand. I hope all is good with you. Take care.

We had Christmas jingles for a local delivery firm in Fareham on June 20th, its wrong. Three months prior is acceptable in my mind, but right now..No, back in your box you evil little advert men!

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 know that if I go to Costco*, they'll have Christmas stuff out sometime this month, as they always do. :-P

And I'm with Sabot, they earlier they start, the later I want to shop. Last year some radio station was playing Christmas music in November. Ugh.

* In case you don't have them Over There - Costco is a wholesale club, you pay $45 a year to join, then you can buy things in bulk with at most 10%-15% markup. With their American Express cashback credit card deal, I usually come out ahead. ;o)

Be thankful, in London we have The Christmas Shop, ‘Where it is Christmas everyday’.

The hotel where we're getting married now has a Christmas tree up on a table, to advertise their Christmas 2009 meals/breaks etc.

Perhaps some day Christmas shall not be on the 25th of December anymore!
