Christmas Decorations

[237SJ]

I was in a department store today and they were unpacking their Christmas decorations and getting ready to put them on display. This while the weather is sunny and 19 degrees. I`m sure I don`t remember shops pushing Christmas on us in early October when I was a child. Ridiculous.

(Campbellking, at what school was Mr Pratt DH? It's driving me mad trying to remember.)

Excuse me, 237SJ. :-)

[Tilly2]

Minty, you are naughty!

[Tilly2]

It's definitely the music that annoys me. The tat I can ignore but the music is everywhere.

Tilly....I haven't heard that bloody awful Slade track yet !

[Tilly2]

Give it time, Mikey, give it time. :-)

[mikey4444]

Tilly....I have been known to walk around supermarkets close to Xmas, with those squashy ear-plugs in !

[Tilly2]

A good idea, Mikey. I might try that.

[murraymints]

nothing should start 'till Dec 1st..there ought to be a law !!

[Tilly2]

I'll email Teresa and ask her to do something, Minty.

[murraymints]

and tell her those shoes are awful ! lol

[Tilly2]

I will. She'll listen to me. :-)

I like the Christmas songs they play in supermarkets. They make shopping jolly.

Tilly, like most of my schools, it's now shut, Pilgrim Upper School.

I noticed Mince Pies in ASDA today, with a sell-by date of October 16th......11 days from now

This should be in CB under Christmas. Actually under the "C-word". Bah humbug ;)

We have that gripe a few times a year too, Mince Pies are available all year. The factories change over to festive packaging when it suits them.

I have no trouble bypassing things I don't want or need in stores - love a festive tune too.

Dancing in the aisles is great fun.
