Your way behind!! The satellite TV shopping channels have had a "Christmas in July" promotion going for a few years now. I used to find it a bit odd with them trotting out the Giant Santa decorations and cheesy musical ornaments in July but with the weather we have been having this summer I found myself throwing another yule log on the fire and curling up on the couch with a blanket and a cup of ovaltine. Yo ho ho!!

I HATE the whole commercial Christmas, the way it is rammed down everyones throats. As far as I am concerned it is a small insignificant Christian festival that ought to be played down, Rather than the huge excuse for rampant greed which is how it manifests itself now.

Can't wait for the whole debacle to be done for another year!

[binbob]

anyone know who has easter eggs for sale.............hate christmas....not even had halloween..

[Torvaig]

The charity shops have had them here for a few weeks now.......luckily I don't need any!

[Dadie]

im not thinking about it until at least until my birthday has passed..its in November...then i will have to force myself to make a list of people and pressies then go shopping..by the time it comes around i feel a bit jaded by it though!!

[Jeid]

I've been counting down since December 26th...

I hate Christmas :D

[laguna2]

I don't hate Christmas - I just don't like the idea of starting to think about prssie in July! There is more to Christmas than pressies - I think we have forgotten what it is all about!

[Wizzbang]

Managed to be working offshore this Christmas and New year I will be back after all the fuss has gone ....yippee

[bluelady]

ah ha, so e big shops will be putting up e Easter eggs soon then [lol]

Hang on Sam it's september in 4 days

[mccaugm]

I love Christmas - I start planning in September so its easier on the old pocket. Cards are usually bought and written by October and by my birthday in November most of the presents are wrapped. SAD I know..but its the way I like it.
My youngest son will be 3 and I cannot wait for him to open his pressies. I get super sensitive by 1st December, any sad things happening in the world make me blub. I must be a big softie.
Bring it on! I say..."A Merry Christmas" to all you Christmas lovers and Big "Bah Humbug" to all of you not touched with the Christmas spirit yet.

[dunderheed]

somerfields christmas stock will be on display by the end of this week

[Dadie]

yup it will be fun watching Lauren play with the wrapping paper and dad wrestle with the packaging and inserting batteries in her toys..Lauren crying at santa (men with beards are super scary at the moment) cooking dinner..not wanting it when its done.. mad friday..

AARrrggHH

to early to think about yet!!

I sooo hate that blackboard it sends a shiver up my spine when I see it on the street....... :eek:

[karia]

Hi Alice,

Do they really do a countdown ?:roll:

Talk about mercenary....Parents have no chance!

I suppose that blindfolds might compromise their human rights.;)

Damn and blast!

[Big Jean]

Have to say I don't like winter, too cold, and don't like the snow, too much shovelling, but on the other hand I love Christmas trees, Christmas lights and all the decorations, and am sad when they have to be taken down .
Might not like to see the adverts and merchandise quite this early, and they do seem to be shown earlier and earlier every year, but as far as the decorating goes .... it's never too early for me !

[Thumper]

I used to love xmas but I now find it a bit "same old, same old".My kids of course love it but after one day half the stuff they have been given is lying about unused and the rest is still trying to find a "home" to put it in!I would love to be able to just go away for xmas but with Santa still coming to our house that isn't really an option yet.I spend all of December making sure that evrything is just perfect and then usually something totally out of the blue happens to put a dampener on things like illness,accident,etc!At the end of the day though it is only one day and who you spend it with makes all the difference x

[Alice in Blunderland]

Hi Alice,

Do they really do a countdown ?

karia

They do , oh they do, and for a laugh this year I think I will take a piece of chalk with me and add on a few days :eek:

But then again they will probably laugh and think thats a few extra days to make some more money :confused

I hate Christmas :D

[footie chick]

The Co-op in Wick had advent calenders and selection boxes on sale yesterday :eek:

[Angela]

Rather than hurtling from "summer" to Christmas, wouldn't it be nice to have "autumn" first? :confused

[dunderheed]

angela , wouldnt it be nice for a summer too ?

[Angela]

angela , wouldnt it be nice for a summer too ?

Wouldn't it just! Given up hope of that now, dunderheed....but I would like "something" between now and Christmas....autumn colours, bonfires, conkers, Hallowe'en, and my birthday! ;)

[NLP]

I have started buying my christmas presents this week, hit the sales in Argos. and Tesco's,:lol: but bear in mind I'm late starting this year.

[dunderheed]

my sister does hers in january , its amazing how cheap you can pick up wrapping paper and cards in january

[Dadie]

if i buy cards and wrapping paper in january come december i cant find them along with the sellotape..there must be a fairy hiding them somewhere along with the odd socks in my house!
