Is It Christmas Already?? It Is On Channel 5 Today ......

[Gizmonster]

Anyone know why channel 5 is showing Xmas films today??

They started at 12 noon and finish at 8pm .... what the freakin' 'ell is that all about??

It's bad enough having to endure them on Xmas day, but mid August?? Am I missing something ??

Lol Giz, I have been sorting out roast pork, apple sauce, mash, chopped carrots, cauli cheese and sprouts. " She who must be obeyed" is outside dead heading and has just shouted to me.... "it smells like Christmas".

[jubieanna]

How weird lol. I decided to do cauli cheese and pigs in blankets today with roast chicken and OH said 'is it Christmas' weird ha ha

[Gizmonster]

Haha - whilst you're tucking into your "Xmas meals", make sure you turn over to channel 5 to make it feel nice and christmasy lol :)

[jubieanna]

Too late! Already eaten. I'm not sure I could watch an Xmas film in August! How strange of channel 5 to play them all afternoon.

I put the Christmas Day sprouts on two days ago, can't be too careful with undercooked sprouts.

Perhaps they thought it could be an alternative to the Olympics. :P

I think Channel 5 is just showing these Christmas films to tie in with the Celebrity Big Brother Christmas themed tasks. I wondered why Channel 5 went all crimbo on us today. Really milking it. No more mention of Christmas until 1 December.

[Strawberry5]

Fanriffic: Oh, I didn't know about the tasks but then I haven't been paying much attention to Celebrity Big Brother.

How strange - we had a guest speaker at our church tonight and in the service he chose a Christmas Carol for us all to sing - "Joy to the World"

[jennyjoan]
