Bah humbug

[TheArtfulDogger]

It's the 5th November, spent fireworks are still raining down like a meteor shower, the smell of bonfires is still lingering around like a political sex scandals and Tescos have their Christmas turkey advert running almost every hour on c5

For pity's sake it's far too early for Christmas adverts, I haven't even eaten all the chocolates from last years advent calendar yet...

Bah humbug one and all

[curlylocks]

Bah humbug Artful, i feel your pain...

[DulwichFox]

It's actually nearly Christmas.. and there are no Easter Eggs in the shops yet..

M&S has had Christmas trees up for a few weeks already. Now that Halloween and Bonfire Night are out of the way there's only Remembrance Day to go before it's full-on piped festive music everywhere.

Sometimes think we need another holiday between now and Christmas as a buffer, like Thanksgiving in the US or Sinter Klaas in NL. Maybe we could do something with St Andrew's Day (30 Nov).

Blame Oakland furniture store's who were the first this year saying get your sofa home for Christmas, Noooooooooooooooooo

Just heard jazzed-up Frosty the Snowman in TKM on Longacre.

Ads for diets and summer hols just around the corner.

Worst fears realised. Had to leave Costa without buying a cup of tea as the Christmassy takeaway cups and piped festive number by Diana Ross were too much. Enjoyed the 'Unbelievable!' from the barista that followed me out of the door, though.

I daren't go anywhere- was offered some Xmas something or the other with my coffee in Starbucks on the motorway and I nearly told the girl what she could do with it- I cannot behave myself for another 7 weeks.....7 weeks...

[Robert Poste's Child]

Uncleglen, if you need moral support I'll be in the rage thread.

[Loz]

One foot in the rage thread, the other in the Bah Humbug thread?

Sit yourself down and crack open a bottle of wine RPC. I think you need it.

Slippery slope. I have a jar of Biscoff Crunchy in one hand and a teaspoon in the other. Bliss.

And tonight they switched on the Oxford street lights ...

I bet somewhere there is already a grotto open for visits to Santa

[Jules-and-Boo]

we had this post last year. I'm looking forward to Christmas. I love it :-)

[Robert Poste's Child]

I had an email today from the Museum of London inviting me to visit Father Christmas's grotto. Actually I think they said Santa.

*retching noise*

This weekend the Christmas TV ads started in earnest. Only 6 more weeks to go...

[Loz]

Although I am usually a fan, the John Lewis ad this year can be safely filed under "meh...".

[TheArtfulDogger]

Someone's having a laugh at my expense

Got my first Christmas card through the door today

[Robert Poste's Child]

Women, don't attempt to buy normal work clothes until January as the shops are now full of party clothes. Visit the men's department and it's a different story. Why?

[red devil]

Men's party clobber consists solely of a 'statement' shirt that they wouldn't wear for work, think shiny, or a geometric motif, tends to be overly detailed, or all three if he's feeling really adventurous...

[Robert Poste's Child]

Come to think of it, that pretty much describes my own part wardrobe. Might run to a lipstick.

All the Christmas decorations are up at Wetherspoons

[uncleglen]

I feel sorry for the shop assistants when the the stores start playing the naff music on a loop. The reason for the Xmas ad fest is because it is Black Friday this Friday and you should be getting in the mood to get into a mountain of debt!!!
