Lord of the Rings - The Prancing Pony [OT] #11: Why would you think about Christmas already?

Nad · 07-30-2013, 11:05 AM

Title inspired by the radio host who talked about the fact that it's almost time to get the Christmas shopping started today

Good luck, Court

Christmas really isn't too far away

Thank you Nad

True and the thought is a bit scary

I mean, it's quite hot right now, don't really want to think about snow & ice & christmas punch already

I work in a shop and we've got all our Autumn/winter stock out now, it's ridiculous. Noone wants it, they want shorts and skirts for the sun!

I wish I was in England right now, it's freezing in Australia

It's not that warm here, probably mild to you

Good luck with the challenge, Court!

I've been cold here the past few days, quite warm today though

The title sent dread through me, btw. I hate that Christmas gets earlier every year; stop it, people!

This! Just the thought of christmas stuff being sold come September is annoying me already. Why can't we at least wait till October? It's more than enough time if they'd start halfway through October or November 1st

I love Christmas so I'm super excited already

Plus that means closer to NZ

I can't remember what the actual rule was, but in Cyprus they aren't allowed to advertise Christmas stuff before a certain date. They can have Christmas stock, but only small amounts or something weird. It was great

I agree. It's insane when you see some places rolling out the tinsel.

I like Christmas - when it's Christmas. I want to enjoy all the summer time I can squeeze out and then build up to it, though. You have a pretty awesome excuse to get excited with NZ though!

This should be a rule everywhere!

I will be on more to post tonight. I had such a busy day yesterday
