COMMERCIALISM!!!! RAMPANT GREED!!! TOTAL COLLAPSE OF OUR SOCIAL SYSTEM!!

(alright, the last one's a bit much, but I'm sure its down to moneygrabbing retailers being greedy and wanting more profits all of the time!! )

[mumble_rocks]

Tesco's near me have already got all their Christmas treats and advent calenders and Card Factory have also got a load of cards out!! Its ridiculous!!!!

Ive already sent all the Christmas cards Ill be sending this year.

Well the moneygrabbing retailers think that if they stretch Christmas as far as they can, we will all spend more. Unfortunately our wallets don't stretch to match!

It started in August in some places - you got off lightly!

 

It is irritating though, you're right - it's still warm out!! By the time we eventually get to December, we've had enough of Christmas. It shouldn't start until Christmas Eve _{(typical man)} December 1^st. No wonder Christmas never makes it to January 6^th, Twelfth Night, the proper last day of Christmas.

 

What's even more annoying is that these tactics actually seem to be working, which will only encourage them to keep doing it, or, worse still, venturing even further into the summer months, in future years.
