womanofdulwich Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I have seen signs today for 2 Christmas fairs in Dulwich on 7th November. I think that is too early. Surely end of November is the earliest. How can Father Christmas be around on November 7th?? What are these hawkers on??? What does everyone else think? ( am I getting old bar humbug!!)

Moos Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 How about 6th December, St. Nicholas' Day?That would make a good kicking-off day for me.

Brendan Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 People start celebrating in preparation for the Nativity (and have done for around 2000 years I assume) on Advent Sunday which is the 4th Sunday before Christmas. (29th of November this year).

Kalamiphile Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Someone told me that as they were driving through Brixton on monday they saw a fully lit Christmas tree in a house window. We haven't even had Guy Fawkes yet!

Brendan Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Was it decorated with pumpkins or maybe poppies? Perhaps we should just keep them up all year and decorate them with whatever fits for the time of year like eggs, pancakes or little figures of fat bald men in garish swimming trunks.

Y'man Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 It's the giveusyacash bandwagon. In America they start christmas in September and the octoberfest in July. They push the calender back each year. GIVEUSYADOSHYAMUGS.
