Just too, too depressing.Selfridges in Oxford Street will launch its Christmas season on 2 August - its earliest-ever start for the store.

Well, I...
Wish it could be Christmas every-day,
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play.
Well, I wish it could be Christmas every-day.
So let the bells, ring out for Christmas.
500 pound for a life size donkey?
Just why?
Because a smaller one can't take the weight! It's got a pregnant woman to carry!
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun ...

Bizarre. I do wish they would restrain themselves until late November, at the earliest. Four weeks' run-up is quite enough. I feel sorry for parents of young kids - they'll be faced with nearly five months of pester power!
You can buy a real one cheaper than that!500 pound for a life size donkey?
Just why?
So, a five month build-up followed by two months of sales, neatly leading into Easter. That leaves me about three months a year when it's safe to leave the house.
Thank the anti-Christ for online shopping.
The Yanks have it better organised...
First there's Halloween
Then there's Thanksgiving
...and only after that do the shops and media go into full Santa frenzy...about 6 or 7 weeks...much more sensible.
I hate fucking Christmas, except for exchanging gifts and a nice lunch I don't have to cook.
My biggest concern is not getting killed by some drunk on my way to or from lunch at my bother's place. As with all family gatherings,I do my very best to leave before first blood. I seldom make it to the pudding.My sis gets pissed and starts telling everyone's fortune.
Otherwise all it means is the shops are closed and I can't buy fresh bread.

PS: I really like Devali. I''ve been in Singapore a couple of times for that celebration. Last time I bought an oil painting. It showed Krsna and Arjuna in a chariot. It was 4 by 3 feet and had lots of different coloured sequins. It cost me $20. I bought it to piss off my (now ex) wife. It hung in my office for about a year. Then I gave it to a Chinese lady who loved it.
Probably because Christmas comes but once a year.
Because bestiality with real animals is illegal, but stuffing a stuffed toy isn't.
Did you mean to imply that Drop Bear does likewise?Probably because Christmas comes but once a year.
No,when Drop Bear said "I hate fucking Christmas" I immediately thought of this Christmas - and I was alluding to James Bond's remark to Dr Christmas Jones "Funny, I thought Christmas only comes once a year." (Which was voted one of the 15 most cringeworthy James Bond puns.)Did you mean to imply that Drop Bear does likewise?
...you sure about that?Probably because Christmas comes but once a year.
