Blimey! There's still 1/3 of the year to go until Christmas.

I remember reading an article where some people plan for Christmas after it has just gone. Some people have too much time. Stores should have Christmas stuff in mid October if i was running the country.

The best part to Christmas is the build up leading to Christmas, whether it's 3 months or 3 days before Christmas.

in retail christmas is 6 months of the year! 3 months stocking before hand, 3 months untill all over stock is gone afterwards then buying for the next one comes.
we used to get our trial christmas trees in in july and some of the more gifty types of presents started arriving then christmas cards mid to end september and everything else gradually after that.

At work we design all our sites/restaurant xmas offer during summer... which reminds me that we didn't receive anything yet this year, either there's no xmas this year or we're gonna be super busy next month

They do it every year, have you just realised Fuggles?

ASDA are usually the worst, my mam works there and she complains every eyar that they start too early (and ASDA aren't even aloud to have santa's in their shops anymore..., too many religious people complained)

I think Harrods started like 3 weeks ago with their Santa


And Santa is not part of any religion so what's wrong with that?

I'm not quite sure what the complaint was exactly and don't really want to go into it as it'll probly break out into a mass religious war on here, but there is definitely no more santa's and deco's etc. anymore in ASDA South Shields, which is a shame for the kids

I love christmas and I'm already looking forwards to it, but good grief, I have to agree. It feels too early to have the stock out.

I was kinda hoping for a few more days of summerish weather
