Default It's almost time

Halloween will be over in a couple of days and we all know what happens when it's finished

Christmas will be thrown down our throats

Christmas decorations galore and constant Christmas adverts even the random and Pointless expensive ones like the Elton John John Lewis one

I cant believe how fast that has come around where has 2019 gone?????

So what do you enjoy about this time of year?

I'm definitely not looking forward to how crazy people get at this time of year as they go Christmas shopping, the scary driving that people do and the sheer lack of manners!

But I do look forward to all the chocolate baileys and xmas tv!

Christmas is already being rammed down our throats. The shops have more Christmas decs than they do halloween. I can’t believe advent calendars are already being sold - they all expire halfway through November as well.

Actually that's a good point. I think it was the end of September that I saw advent calenders and mince pies in shops that's so early!

Halloween
Bonfire Night

then Christmas

though I am a bit torn as to how early the shops start pushing merchandise as some people like to spread the cost and buy a few items each week

If the advent calendars are going out of date in November they are last years stock, chocolate does not go out of date that quickly

I found it ridiculous seeing advert calendars at the start of September.

I usually only get in the Christmas spirit a week or so before the actual day, I do love the time of year though mainly just for because of how happy everyone is.

My youngest (7) still doesn't have much verbal communication, but loves to sing. She was singing a song about Halloween (that I guess she learned at school? I've never heard it) all the way round town "trick or treating"... came home, got her into her pyjamas, she climbs into bed... starts singing "Jingle Bells".

I was like "Yeah pretty much sums it up "
