Quite late, actually. I saw some Christmas stuff out about a month ago here.
Ban xmas I say!! It has lost all meaning and now is purely about selling stuff to the masses and not about the real reasons.
I miss the English Christmas'....

Ah yes those nostalgic fights in the kebab shops after the clubs kick out, the brutal kickings and glassings when someone gets in the taxi you fancied, puking your guts up down the nearest alleyway......ah yes I'm looking forward so much to Christmas that I've taken it off this year and will be well out of it, thanks very much. Instead I'll be chilling out with family in North Yorkshire in a beautiful country cottage in front of a roaring log fire.
You'll be in North Yorkshire ???
Blimey Steve, I'd better arrange a drunken punch up outside our local club here in North Yorkshire just so you dont feel lost :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

When I'm dictator, any commercial signs of Christmas before 1st December - decorations, songs played on repeat loop, mince pies with a 'best before' date of 12th Dec etc - would be punishable by firing squad.
Cheers. And Bah humbug.

I'm Atheist and it don't mean :shit: to me....
I suppose it's a good excuse for family to get together to eat too much, get drunk then have an argument, but to me it's just another day..

i once worked for a well known high street Hardware company who planned Christmas in February for that particular year. They would have 1,500 pallets of tinned chocolates delivered to their 'Christmas only' warehouse in May !!.
Christmas over here has become so commercialized that any resemblance to a religious holiday is purely coincidental.
You get prosecuted for hunting / catching certain quarry when they're out of season.
Could we not do do the same for sale of C*****mas tat? (Sorry, can't even bring meself to say the :censored: word yet)!
1st December to 1st January would be the "open" season!
Come the revolution........................

Zedman ... did the chocolates ever melt in the summer sun and turn into tins of lumpy chocolate ?? :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: Sounds quite nice !
