,,,,when some nutter down the road has four huge inflatable santas up in the garden already.

I can't keep the phone answered at work!

.... when you start ordering random stuff off the internet.

Word of warning peeps...... bubble wrap keyring...... crap.

All the emails keep coming with buy now pay next November

Awwww. Why's that Ducky? I had high hopes for that.

When the damned sofa ads start. As if people don't have enough financial pressures on them  at this time of year, they're supposed to provide a showhouse environment too. I think they grate on me more than any other Christmas 'thing'.

when Lidle get their chocolate ginger biscuits in

The Christmas songs start on the radio and the German market in Birmingham opens.

When the folks up the road have their house lit up like the National Lampoons Christmas vacation house...always amuses me, those I suspect the national grid goes into meltdown when they switch it on....it looks ridiculous......their house has a little handmade sign outside saying '66 Sunset Strip'

When everyone releases a Greatest Hits CD.....

You can't get parked, not even on level 6, even though the rest of the year, parking on level 2 is normal.

You have to queue for 10 minutes just to get onto Asda's car park, let alone find a parking space.

I know, me too Jenny.   But you just press a solid button and it makes a very quiet simulated popping sound. I'm not sure what I expected though to be honest.

I must bump this







Its back! Just spotted it for first time on itv

Gawd Mr M......... do you know how wierd it is to come into a thread and read a post from yourself that you can't even remember writing????

I had to bump it straight after I spotted the coca-cola christmas ad

Oooooh...weird coincidence of the day!

I bought that keyring for my mum (bubble wrap fanatic)...but didn't give it to her cos it was SO crap.

I only told her about the present she never received this very morning

How the hell did you find it so quickly?

Just searched in Refine list "Christmas cola" and I found the thread

...When the Easter eggs are in the shops. 

Not forgetting Creme Eggs  

 YES?

I thought you were talking about X factor.

I think Aiden will stay, but i may have put the curse on him.

Sh*te... wrong thread

Holidays are coming! Holidays are coming!

Last Christmas we were trapped in ASDA car park for an hour and a half trying to leave - it was hell.

Happens every year

The trick is to test things first Erin

It's dark most of the day and raining most of the time? 

When borderline and not borderline alcoholics have a proper excuse for being drunk at lunchtime?

When Christian types get all sniffy about the 'true meaning of Christmas'?

When new age/pagan types get all sniffy about the 'true meaning of yuletide'?

When the Daily Mail gets all sniffy about someone saying 'winterval' or 'happy holidays'.

Realising that hell must be like having to do last minute Toy shopping in Argos for the rest of eternity.
