[Georgiesmum]

Anyone seen any Christmas cards in the shops yet?

[Flonska]

Usually it will start next week - the day the kids go back to school after the "summer holidays."

Do our northern cousins observe Christmas?

[Georgiesmum]

Big tins of Quality Street out on sale already? Oh my days!

[murraymints]

there is a Christmas shop in Edinburgh open all year round..except Christmas Day ...

[sandyRoe]

Open on New Years Day, too? How do the workers deal with their hangovers?

[Flonska]

There are two shops - Canon Gate and West Bow. They probably work a "split shift."

The same way we did in the years before it became a bank holiday - stoically !

[Flonska]

Was it stoically that those north of the border decided to take the 2nd off as an extra bank holiday, then?

Saw them about 3 or 4 weeks ago in The Works. Had a text last week about a flu jab, which I ignored. I don't think you should have it too early, as sometimes the later batches cover more strains. Had an email about booking a Christmas meal. It's mad. I'm still looking forward to an Indian summer!!

I was in Card Factory (in Stowmarket) this afternoon and I noticed a small display area devoted to Christmas stock but they've not filled the shop with Christmas cards yet (as they do later in the year, making it hard to find birthday cards for people with birthdays in December).

Selfridges opened their Christmas department about 4 weeks ago:

How about Christmas Day birthday cards for those entering their 7th decade, not that there is an ABer doing that this Noel? Is there?
