Ruddy Christmas Ads and its only the 1st Nov !

[Spartacus]

Can't believe how quickly Christmas Adverts are here this year. Halloween has literally just been put in its grave and the adverts have started.

Commercialisation at its finest !

Oh, does that mean the Christmas queueing arrangements for WR are available yet?

Some people are looking for Easter Eggs.

[Blah Blah]

Admittedly, we are trying to get all our xmas shopping done before Thursday (from the shops that will have to close for lockdown), in case the lockdown goes into December.

Not really sure why anyone would want to do their Xmas shopping at all, as there wont be one. I expect for some who spend days catering and trying to appease the mass family gatherings this is welcome news. PS Lidl have stollen and the like.

For years as a boy we made the cake about now IIRC - I remember eating the leftover mixture. It needs to mature and it was the first sign Xmas was coming :)

[Blah Blah]

LOL Malumbu...that is not the right spirit :D

We have children and parents, so cancelling xmas is not an option, but it won't be as lively as other years of course. No pantomimes, nativities, carol singing etc. But xmas day will still happen, with presents under the tree and some kind of xmas feast :)

Blah Blah, I'm curious

How are you going to explain how Santa is able to visit every house despite a covid ban on visiting other people's houses potentially in place at Christmas ?

[diable rouge]

Just like Waitrose, he leaves the pressies outside people's front doors obvs...

HA HA.......I hadn't thought about that lol. I think DR has given me the perfect way out though, plus I will add that Santa is a key worker ;)
