Bah Humbug!

September 21st and Sainsburys already have their Christmas Aisle set up and stocked. I almost walked out of the store in disgust and I wasn't on my own judging by some of the comments I heard! My favourite was from a father who having stopped his kids going down the Christmas aisle commented 'I bet they've got Easter Eggs in the next aisle'.

Should we start taking bets now on the date of the first reported Christmas muzak?? (any before Dec 1st and I complain to the manager!)

Someone has to bring a bill to ban premature yuletide. Now there's something worth marching for! I'm surprised the Church doesn't make more fuss about this..

David!!!

You mean spirited sod!!! I`ve just come from Tesco`s!! They`ve got Christmas Puds and hot cross buns in the same aisle. LOL

Global warming has a lot to answer for?

When I was a kid. After summer, just as it started to get a tad frosty, we looked forward to Bonfire night? We spent weeks gathering our bonfire stuff and saving for fireworks?

But now. We have to fit in `Trick or Treat night`? No-one used to celebrate Halloween except the odd church youth club! But how long will it be before we see all the witch masks in the local shops?

we used to have `Mothers Day`, then `Fathers Day`. Now we have `Grandparents day`!!

Maybe you`re right.

Let`s stick to Cristmas, New Year, Easter and Guy Fawkes night!! It will save me a fortune!!!!

Hiya, Spasor, little onions using little feathers macine.... I'm delighted people are celebrating Samhain (Halloween to you). This festival is more special than Christmas to Fishing witches. Muzac and its creators should be burnt at the stake.

Can we be sure that this is Christmas 2002 that Sainsbury's is celebrating?
