Hey just thought this was rather funny, I had a huge shock today, i went into the local Woolworths and they had none other but CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS up already! I was in shock! They had tinsel up and were selling plastic santas and baubles, it was really funny! :tongue:

People probably think it's good to get them while they see them, it wasn't the whole shop afterall, it was about a row, and they had tinsel and stars and stuff

It's stupid these days it ruins Christmas really. The shops used to get Christmas things late Novmeber so it was exciting that Christmas was near when you saw the decorations. But now they are there for so long when Christmas comes your used to the decorations.

This makes me sound like Scrooge but the build-up to Xmas makes the day a complete let-down...

Are you serious? AUGUST?
I thought a shop was mad for putting up decorations in November! Not August!:puzzled:

I always get excited about Christmas way too early! And then when everyone else is starting to get excited I'm like..."Yeahhh...whatever":rolleyes:

We really shouldn't be thinking about Christmas in the middle of the summer.

I mean Christmas is a Christian celebration and it annoys me how it's turned into a international and meaningless, materialistic nightmare.

And the Christmas adds seem to be starting earlier every year. :bored:
