The commercialisation aspect gets earlier as each year goes by. So much so, that when the day finally comes, I feel jaded and can't wait for normality to resume. And as say this as someone who used to love Christmas.

I can’t keep up.

I was only just reading on another thread that Christmas was now cancelled.

Is it back on then?

I couldn’t get over the Christmas trees lit up in several houses leaving the ground after the Plymouth game. If the advertisers could leave it all until 1 December it would be more enjoyable for everyone. Unfortunately it’s all about money though.

Not cancelled yet.

As you well know…

But anyone who thinks this ain’t possible or not even on the cards is seriously deluded.

I've still not forgiven Christians for canceling Ostara. I really miss the Ostara chocolate eggs!

It disappeared down a 22 million pound black hole - and then the thread was deleted as 22 million pound black holes are political.
