Stop, belay, cease and desist.
Just received in our letterbox (can't they read 'no junk mail') our first Christmas cataloge .... No I am not silly enough to claim I am the first to receive such rubbish this year but I am grumpy enough to punch the first person to sing ..."tis the season to be merry"
Christmas in October? Bah humbug

Re: Stop, belay, cease and desist.
Advent calenders already being sold.
I see people walking about with freshly bought wrapping paper (the christmas variety, trees santa reindeer etc.) Late night shopping for Christmas started a few weeks ago. The day the Christmas music starts to play is a sad day indeed

Re: Stop, belay, cease and desist.
Holiday products are sold earlier and earlier every year because industries always expect consumers to buy less than the previous year lately. I saw Christmas costumes (reindeer, Santa Claus) on sale for HHalloween costumes last weekend.

Re: Stop, belay, cease and desist.
I knew there was a good reason I got out of the retail biz when I did.
Last year corporate tried to have us play X-mas music in Sept. Customers complained so we stopped. I mean all the hype isn't so bad if only it would come in the appropriate time, say, nearer the holidy itself. By the time the actual holiday itself comes around I could almost care less.

Re: Stop, belay, cease and desist.
Christmas scares me. Family and alcohol, and six-monthly bills that ride in with the ferkin sleigh.
Due to my amazing bill bouncing prowess , i'm due for insurance and 12 months car rego, smack bang in the middle of december. I should have learned by now.
