In celebration of all the Christmas stuff that's out waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early.


I saw Christmas candy on sale at Morrisons - it had an expiration date of November 17 :suspicious: :roll:

I got a recorded message the other day from a Christian organization. "Let me be the first to wish you a happy holiday season..."

:suspicious: Are you kidding me?!

My boss made me put up one Christmas decoration at my desk. The reason we get along so well is because she is just as twisted as I am. :devil:

My local butcher is doing a Christmas family meal deal atm. The whole lot, for €90...

Marks & Spencer in Dublin is selling advent calendars. Is it the same in England?

Oh, and we started rehearsing some advent stuff in choir yesterday... But that's ok because some of it is crazily difficult... :cool:

And I watched The Snowman and its sequel Father Christmas yesterday, but that's because my gf hadn't seen them and wanted to, due to our festive mood that was brought on by choir... :oops:

Yes, Crucifer, the advent calendars are out in England as well. I Mark keeps telling me to go ahead and buy mine now before they are gone. :suspicious: If only I could decide... I am torn between the Lindt calendar and the Playmobil calendar. :D

John Lewis in Bristol's Cabot Circus has its Christmas decorations up, it said on the news a while ago. Haven't seen it myself yet, but I really wanna go. I love Christmas. :D In Germany they have a lot more Christmassy things out now than there is here and I miss that. Christmas can't be early enough for me.

I've made sure to take the day off from work when the light's are switched on at the Bath Christmas market. Nicolas Cage is doing it.
