I'm sure this is not going to be a popular one but oh well!
I am one of the few people who do like an extended run up to Christmas. December 1st just doesn't leave enough time! For me, clocks going back and the start of early evenings marks the start of an acceptable run up period.
To celebrate, I had my first "Christmas special" sandwich of the season and will be keeping my eye out for the all important Coca-Cola Christmas TV ad which always marks the real start of Christmas for me. I'm sure I'll have seen it before the week is out.
Everything seems just more Christmassy now and I love it! So sorry all of you "it just gets earlier and earlier" lot, as far as I'm concerned the countdown starts now!
Ele! No, no and another no! It starts when Ocado deliver the mega order and the bird is collected from the village butcher! Or maybe when the tree is put in the lounge and decorated which always causes a family fight!
ReplyDeleteNo way! Nothing like enough time.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this early count down spirals down to cunning companies maximising their marketing opportunities to the public, I am completely with you on this one Ele. Christmas is such a fun filled, happy time, so why not make it last as long as possible? The only thing left to do is work out how to make the snow come even earlier this year and it will be perfect!
ReplyDeleteWell maybe Morrisons will come and turn the Pantiles into a Dickension Christmas wonderland again, who knows
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I like about Christmas is seeing and feeling children's happiness and joy. The rest of it is money making gone mad.
ReplyDeleteChildren's happiness and joy? Bah humbug...
