So much hype and build up...we even get tasters of the big ones before they're released now.
The man in the moon one is very sweet but I'm heartily sick of it now!

Why oh why can't everyone hold back until December?
It would be so much more enjoyable
I’m sick of it meself Ruthio but what can we do? I’ve often said that if someone came up with a ‘Christmas pill’, one you take and go to bed and don’t wake up until New Years day they would make a fortune, and think of all the weight one could lose if they wanted to, just get your other half to fill and adjust the drip feed every so often.
To add insult to injury they have a Christmas films channel running since the end of October, everything from Santa in outer space to santa in tights and Santa the Wrestler, enough to make you want to tear Santa to pieces when he comes down the chimney. Happy Christmas!

Christmas.. Bah humbug.
But I think it is nice for everyone to celebrate the birth of a Jewish boy.

Re: Too soon!

Well I agree with you Ruthio,its much too soon,the shops started at the end of October, the trouble is that companies all want you to buy their goods and try to get in before others do.Its hard on people with children ,as the children watch the adverts and see things they want.It also upsets people who are on their own,it brings it home that they have no one all that much quicker.I dont particularly like Christmas and dont want it pushed down my throat for weeks before the day

Re: Too soon!

I agree Jem, Christmas films seem to dominate the SKY channels and my Mrs watches them every night which annoys me as they are repeated over and over and have been doing so for years.

And to top it off, they will still be showing up to May 2016.

Those Sky Christmas films are the same year after year. I never watch them.

Totally agree, although for some reason this year I seem to have the ability to let it all wash over me. Thank goodness!
