Christmas is already on everyone's lips and the TV and shops are now full of glossy adverts and displays for the festive season: new electronic toys, sumptuous imperial feasts and unimaginably perfect family yuletides.
Is it like that were you are?
Doe it all start too early? Should it start earlier? What do you think?
Too early - should start 1st December IMHO. However I do highly recommend Boots Christmas Turkey sandwich and their Pigs under Blankets sandwich which came out a couple of weeks ago. Just like a mini Christmas dinner. Delicious :) !
ReplyDeleteSound superb Yorkie! And there's me thinking that Boots was just a chemist! I live in the sticks so hardly ever get the chance to sample high street fayre like this but will look out for it when we go Xmas shopping in Leeds. I do love a good sarni as long as its white bread!
DeleteI am eating a turkey dinner sandwich as I type.sliced turkey,coleslaw,sage and onion stuffing with cranberry dressing on top.So far,2017's Christmas commercial blitz has been light, and stores have Christmas goods,but they aren't the first thing you see upon entering(yet).I begin putting up Christmas decorations around the last week of November,after our Thanksgiving dinner is done and cleaned up. This gives me time to put things up in a leisurely fashion.My tree is 11 feet tall and full of unique decorations that only a guy like me would have(you'll soon see)and the yard also gets a one-of-a-kind treatment.But for now, and the next 3 weeks,it's business as usual here,Christmas ads or not.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of coleslaw on there too Brian! What a buttie! Even Shaggy and Scooby would be chuffed with one of those! Looking forward to seeing your 11 foot tree in all its glory! and the yard! Father Christmas is not going to miss them from his sled is he! ha ha
DeleteI get irked at some shops having displays of Hallowe'en, Guy Fawkes, and Christmas stock all out at the same time. I think they should wait at least a week after Bonfire night before putting out Christmas stock, and hanging up decorations in shopping centres.
