I know. Quite normal really. I don't see why people get so wound up. If money is tight, then just tell your kids that they can only have 1 present this year, so watch the adverts and chose wisely!

Well I guess this recession is about seeing and not buying!

Suprised those muppets in the councils think this is still a priority.

They have Christmas food in my local Tesco, with a use-by date in November! This is quite late: 10 years ago the f*ckers had Christmas decorations in Debenhams in the first week of September.

It's not surprise, it's dismay. I'm sure you realise this.

The first Easter Eggs will be appearing in about a fortnight.

And for God's sake don't forget that it's unlucky to keep the tree up after twelfth night which is officially Nov 27th this year according to the Asda Calender.

Easter eggs? I've got some "eggs" but they are used for "dunking" on special occasions.

Saw on the news last night that a town in Glos has already got their xmas street decorations/lights up.

Not that Xmas is over commercialised crap or anything. Ridiculous, should be banned until 1st Dec IMHO.

I love Christmas. The ones that always complain are the ones that overspend!

You don't 'have' to buy the most expensive gifts going.

Surely its about time they simply changed the name from Christmas.

Howsabout "We worship at the temple of the Argos god and need ten weeks to build up to celebrate it" Fest.

It's all rubbish since Ronco stopped advertising anyway
