AIBU? Is this too early?

[Gingernaut]

Boots are laying out the shelves for Chrimbo.

I know. I know they do this at this time in September, but FUCK IT!

IT'S TOO FUCKING EARLY FOR THIS SHITE!!

Zoella has been joined by Fearne Cotton and Gabriella Fletcher for twee, inspirational bollocks, Disney is heavily represented, entire aisles are pink and rose gold copper, the gadgets are in black packaging, the food is complete junk and the prices are bloated

Seriously? £12 for 26 bits of card in a little stand with fatuous 'inspirational' bollocks on them.

IT'S NOT EVEN A CALENDAR!

Just ignore it

It's only there because people buy it... you know what to do!

Giovanna Fletcher.

I don't know where Gabriella came from. 😳

I like getting prepared early. It's less stressful & spreads the cost!

Lots of people like to prepare for a large event differently to you.

It's just toot!

YABU (but only because you asked) runs away back to the Christmas board

It’s all half price or less on Boxing Day.

It is too early but still I think I will buy some bits next week to put away and get some done early.

And yes a lot is toot but I like to stock up on my usual smellies when they’re cheap.

Who would buy some of this shite at half price??

Not to worry you but Brexit is imminent - supply chain issues may mean that come November people might be brawling in the Boots Aisles for this fecken tat.

Eugh! YANBU. This is grim.

My local B&M also have all their Christmas display out.

Grim.

Our Christmas stuff has went live and it’s selling big time. Not many pay days left

@ChaosTrulyReigns, I have noticed strange gaps in the shelves.

I couldn't find Vosene for love nor money.....

Way too early but you'll get lots of people telling you its fine and people like to buy early. Christmas occurs every year on the same day I don't understand why people don't just buy stuff throughout the year when they see a gift someone they know would like? Why do we need Christmas aisles 3 months before the day?

My shop gets ready mid-end October 🤔

Mince pies in the co op.
Bit too early for me. Although the other day I did but hit cross buns.

I was in Fortnum & Mason in July and they had Christmas stuff on sale. Thought they would have a bit more class.

@Lllot5, my local Sainsbury's is selling mince pies as a Manager's Choice, stacking them up in an old Cadbury's stand

Christmas before the kids are even back at school in August...
FFS, life is too short, these idiots are ruining Christmas for everybody.

I ignore as much as possible, I don't want to wish my life away. Christmas is ONE day! I will put a tree up on the 1st December, and that's the earliest I want to think about bloody Christmas. (and I do my online shopping the weekend before, so it's all done, will come off November pay, time to wrap up all the presents and breathe)

To be fair, Grotto and panto are booked in the summer but only because there's no space left in September...

Most of its trash

Mince pies in the co op

Tesco had advent calendars and selection boxes yesterday.
