Please, please, NO!

It's August and already shops are stocking up for that December thingy.

Wrapping paper, cards, baubles, mince pies, puddings, stollen, panetone, crackers, lights - don't forget the lights!

What's wrong with waiting till the eve of the big day then running round like a headless chicken grabbing anything and everything that might come in handy: It's exciting?

It's what I do!

No problem WM I'm ignoring Xmas this year

[cromwell]

Oh you are joking?! C*****mas? We haven't even had the second wave shelf stripping panic yet!

Two celebrations next week.
Mrs.e has the plaster taken off her elbow on Thursday afternoon.

Friday is our wedding anniversary. 44 Years together.

So don't need another reason to celebrate.

Won't Santa be self isolating after visiting every country last year?

[Workingman]

Cracking!

If he visits a country on the quarantine list before he gets here he will not be allowed in. Think of the poor children.

Congratulations for the double celebrations next week, Cruiser.

I can never muster much enthusiasm until late November - August is much too soon!

Saundra, I would rather, to be honest!

You are kidding right! Jeez, that is just far to early. I know that some shops do bring out the C* stuff during holiday season to make the most of tourists visiting that want to take suitable gifts home, but certainly not grocery stores! Crikey we've still got Halloween to come.

Cruiser - love your comment re the quarantine - that's so funny
