Right, now i've got two children, and i'm a big kid myself, so I love Christmas. If we get snow too, its my favourite time of year. But I am 100% against it starting in August/September. I see absolutely no reason whatsoever why Christmas needs to be mentioned anywhere before 1st December, or maybe the first Sunday in advent, if that falls in November. Do we really need a four month build up??
My wife bought a chocolate log cake from the shop last week. Its just a normal chocolate log cake, but since mid-september its being sold as a "Christmas Choclate Log", the box nicely decorated with Christmas trees, holly and snow. The cake goes out of date on the 23rd October - more than 2months BEFORE Christmas, so how the hell can it be a Christmas chocolate log?? Surely that is a very clear indication that its too early to even mention the 'C' word??
Does anyone actually enjoy Christmas starting before summer (I think we've had a summer this year...) is over??
