To think it's too early for Xmas adverts already?!!

[LavenderRain]

Has anyone else seen the 1st Xmas advert of the year?? It's bloody October just

it's for Anchor butter and there are definitely Xmas hats and trees involved!!
Too early surely??

Oh no. Not seen that. I saw the one where waitrose think they invented Autumn or something.

Can only be a matter of time before everyone is going OTT blubbing/hysterical over this year's John Lewis Christmas offering.

I don't know, I suppose most people will start shopping for Christmas around now, so it makes sense for the shops to start advertising for it.

Someone across the street from me has Christmas decorations up. I might go knock on the door and throw a calendar at them!

Im looking forward to Christmas.

Doesn't bother me at all. I do my shopping in November so I can enjoy December without having to go into places and look at stuff and part with cash and fret over it all. It's about right for me.

I am not going to dash down to the shops for something advertised on a Christmas ad.

I look forward to Christmas when the schools break up and order everything off Amazon.

Me either. But I like to get in the spirit.

Amazon is diabolical and I don't like their ethics. Every year I say I won't use them. Every year I fail. I do try and shop locally for most stuff.

We do the great annual 'Amazon Voucher Exchange' with various teen relatives.

DS1 has an NUS card so I need to investigate where all his discounts are to see if they are any good to me this year.

I went to Tesco tonight. They have a Christmas tree up.
