Someone on my street has started decorating the outside of their house for Christmas. Last time I looked it was barely mid-November. I haven't fallen asleep and missed a month, have I?
It's only the blue lights so far, but I'm just wondering how early they will consider acceptable for the flashing choo-choo trains and animated reindeers this year.
Last time I looked, Christmas was meant to last for 12 days, not for a sixth of the year. Can you imagine what the carol singers would have to go through:
On the 61st day of Christmas, my true love sent to me:61 flashing stars
60 blow-up snowmen
...
...
...
3 nodding reindeer
2 choo-choo trains
And the bill for the electricity.

I will not even think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving.**fingers in my ears****lalalalal.
Unfortunately in the UK, our retail year kicks in for Christmas the day after Bonfire Night. Being the grinch that I am, I find the whole thing incredibly tedious.
Last year, I managed to do all my shopping online and didn't go into a single shop, which was a blessed relief. This year I have a 15 month old, and I'm on the brink of thinking about taking him to a Santa's grotto. Only on the brink, mind - we're still at an age where he doesn't miss what he doesn't know about, and I'm milking it for all it's worth! Next year, I'm definitely screwed.
Ha Ha. I bet they forgot about the bill. I hate Christmas because they play havoc with the supermarket aisles so they can put Plum Puddings everywhere. It destroys my routine.
I couldn't agree more.
And if it's not plum puddings, it's those awful selection boxes...a quick scan of the Sainsbury's website tells me that a Cadburys selection box is £1.28/100g, whereas a 400g bar of Dairy Milk is £0.54/100g. I know which I'd prefer!
Dirty, thieving bastards.
Looks as though my annual metamorphosis into The Grinch has happened a couple of weeks early this year...
