Season's Greetings

[Vince]

If you think you're running out of time to buy some chocolate decorations for the Xmas tree, don't worry; the Co-op on Lordship Lane has some for sale.

Nice!

Hahaha! Morrisons had their 'Christmas Twiglets' out 2 weeks ago.....

How are people still surprised / outraged by this? Happens every year.

The logic is pretty simple.

Some people like to budget and so, to spread the cost of Christmas, start stocking up week by week once autumn hits, taking advantage of any special offers as they go.

Supermarkets respond to this with an array of special offers, particularly on stuff like tins of chocolates, in the hope that whoever bought them in October will have eaten them by the time Christmas comes round, and they'll have to buy a second tin.

I'm going to the Liberty Christmas shop today.

Rosie, getting all the best baubles since 1995

[KalamityKel]

it is only 3 months to go not like it's the beginning of feburary or something!

[El Pibe]

I'm not very good at this preparedness stuff.

I just bought my brother's (El T?o) 40th birthday present this week.

He was 41 in July!!!

[dulwichgirl2]

El pibe, I often end up doing that, ironically with more close relatives and friends ie those for whom I spend ages looking and rejecting lots of things till after the event on the grounds that the present isnt nice enough. They end up with something ok but two years late!

Wrapping paper 3 for 2 M and S!

[uncleglen]

Oh yes and 1/2 price wynciette pj's to wrap up!

Everyone knows you get your Christmas presents at 5.00pm on Christmas Eve from the garage

[RosieH]

Nope.

You avoid the relatives for the duration so you can buy them half price in the boxing day sales.

[maxxi]

Nope

You tell them that's what you're going to do, in such a way that they will only admire your practical nature, then do nothing and hope they've forgotten all about it by the time you next see them.

[red devil]

Nope.

Fuck 'em. 2 weeks in the Caribbean...

[Annette Curtain]

Nope

Excommunicate the Parent

20 years of no present for momma

Bliss

[RosieH]

I went to the Liberty Christmas shop yesterday.

It's fucking awesome.

I nearly cried with delight.

I may have a disease.

[KalamityKel]

So YOU'RE the Lordhip Lane postman...

[uncleglen]

Straight after Xmas, go to the sales and get next year's pressies (if you're that generous), or just get some really flash half price cards.
