Christmas comes to early?
 

Don't know about any of you,but my local supermarket already has the shelves full of Xmas food and stuff, I just think that it's too early.They should make a law, no Christmas stuff till after November  5th?

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

And no easter eggs on sale in February either!

Spotted some stuff in a Christmas display the other day. The sell by date on some of the stuff was 28th December! Presumably we're supposed to be stocking up with these.
Bit ridiculous. Who'd normally buy something to eat so close to the sell by date unless they were getting it cheap ???

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

Asda have been selling christmas stuff for weeks, they seem to start at about the end of September, way too early. It makes me laugh how everyone goes mad at the supermarket near christmas. I usually come out with no more than I would normally buy, but some people shop like the supermarkets will never be open again. They're only closed for 1 day, it's ridiculous. ;D

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

Asda christmas stuff was probably last years stock....

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

I don't know about you folks it just takes away from the specialness of Christmas...it's all so that folks buy more than they need. ::)
Can't see it being last years stock Tealeaf. ;D

Did you know that tons of food is thrown away every year,because people buy too much when they shop,literally tons,and much of it is unopened.

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

Well christmas is allready here, going by what is being sold in the shops. So i thought i may as well join in, i now have, wish you a merry christmas as my ring tone. ;D

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

It was the same in argos on friday, the staff said it had been very busy for the last week.

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

what are you lot moaning at??
you have to buy early to avoid the rush at xmas week,it's people like me that make xmas week a menace,because we have forgotten this or forgotten that,we rush out xmas eve to get that present for our kids that sold out the day before!
................and then we go and forget the tin foil to cook the bird(turkey)not my missus! [smiley=cursing.gif]

Re: Christmas comes to early?

Well never mind the shops!  What about the television?  

Adverts and adverts just full of rubbish.  

I'm dreading when my little girl is old enough to understand childrens shows never mind the childrens adverts swamping them!

Now that should be banned!  :)

And what on earth has happend to Action Man? I used to love collecting his stuff as a child. Based on the real army equipment and it was good quality too. Now he's some kind of space coyboy with laser guns  ???

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

The magic of Christmas has disappeared.  :( :( :(

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

Not in our house it hasnt... best time of the year.. kids love it.. we love it.. everyone here loves crimbo.. really push the boat out...few days of festivities... all that cake and grub and beer and wine... We all look forward to a few days of fun.

As for new years.. never been keen. dont got out (did on millenum though) seems to me new years is one night getting peed and arguing.. theres always an argument or a fight in a pub/s on new years.... stay in...

but crimbo... brilliant

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

Can we all come to yours for Christmas Harry?  It sounds great.

This is Christmas at my familys.

I come home from work (worked every Christmas day since 1987) Have usually missed the dinner, but my Dad warms it up for me in the microwave. Sit in his dining room and eat it on my own. Go into the lounge and the whole family ( and there's a lot of us) are watching home videos supplied by my dad and we've all seen them before, but everybody but me is too drunk to care. My Granddad is snoring in the chair and my Grandma is complaining about his lack of ability to stay awake. The kids are usually taking turns to have tummy ache, feel sick, be sick! etc. At least one of my step brothers or brother in laws will have a black eye or split lip, from a late night foray into Accy the night before. My mum will have had a drink (and it only takes one) and she will have told the same story at least 4 times. My Step - mum will be washing up and looking totally harassed. My sisters who are 33 and 31 will be the only ones playing with the toys.

Despite this, I never miss calling on the family do after work, but your house sure sounds like fun. :-*

Re: Christmas comes to early?
 

It's no wonder you work on christmas day lettie. lmao at that, sounds just like a normal christmas to me. [smiley=drunk.gif]

Re: Christmas comes to early?

Re: Christmas comes to early?
