Christmas already...

[Stephanie]

Ok, it is 17 September - SEPTEMBER, and I just cannot believe it  - my local supermarket has set up a seasonal aisle of CHRISTMAS FOODS AND SWEETS  already and I see another shop [WHSmith] is selling CHRISTMAS CARDS....   I have also had 2 Christmas catalogues come through the door.... 

Me thinks this is all wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy toooooooo earlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  They seem to start earlier each year. Pretty soon these items will be sitting next to the fireworks!

Our major department store (Macy's) have had their decorations up for a while.  I hate seeing the Christmas items before Thanksgiving.  I miss the old days.

I try and save some money every month just for Christmas, along with points from the supermarket loyality cards [although I am not loyal to any supermarket].  I also buy saver stamps from Morrisons and cash them in in December as well as saving the money off vouchers from Tescoes - every little helps.   I rarely buy any pressies before November.  I do try and get organised but it just never seems to happen in this house...

Out for a walk this evening and saw thriugh the windows of a local church ( not my denomination) that in one of the upstairs rooms... usedfor scouts or Sunday school... was a fully decorated and lit Christmas tree!    Now that's really pushing the season....

It certainly is!  How strange that a Church should do that   I can't say I have seen any trees up anywhere yet, although I haven't been into the shopping centre for a few weeks now so I cannot say for sure.
