All the marketing hype now is ridiculous.

Honestly, I love all the lights and colour, but all the other commercial stuff surrounding it….no, no no! I'm not doing any shopping until I finish work on the 20th.

At least November and December are dark and cold and dismal here!!! And yes re the better C'mas songs - or even good ones like the Greg Lake or the Kate Bush one, not these ghastly old shit ones!!!!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-18018112169913876392013-11-27T06:34:03.000-08:002013-11-27T06:34:03.000-08:00Terry, your post gave me a good chuckle. It's ...Terry, your post gave me a good chuckle. It's the same here in the U.S. The goal of Christmas seems to be how much debt you can add to the credit cards you can't pay off. I live in Florida. We need sweaters maybe five days out of the year. Yet, we go shopping in November and the stores are flooded with horrible Christmas sweaters. It's 80 degrees (27 celcius) here! <br /><br />And why don't any of the stores ever play the updated, modern Christmas rock songs? At least that might keep me in the store, rather than chase me out. <br /><br />Thanks for the giggle this morning! :)Darcía Hellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871305842854494215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-18154756923157465612013-11-27T02:02:35.735-08:002013-11-27T02:02:35.735-08:00Exactly - December 1st would be fine, time enough,...Exactly - December 1st would be fine, time enough, and make it something special, not something everyone is fed up with by the middle of November!!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-15954642450920656092013-11-27T01:58:20.228-08:002013-11-27T01:58:20.228-08:00ha ha ha - I haven't heard Step Into Christmas...ha ha ha - I haven't heard Step Into Christmas. Might use that on Sunday! Although I am obviously very early with Christmas this year, for obvious reasons, I think the season should start on 1st Dec. Also hate that even before Halloween there are signs of Christmas everywhere and adverts - taking the mick really!Susan Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787615672680750273noreply@blogger.com
