    Yea, what I'm really saying is that I hate this time of year.

    Its like the main department stores are on the starting blocks waiting to empty our pockets.

    I mean, I love christmas. I love the whole Christmas thing, but when it starts in November its a royal pain in the arse.

    I was up at 4.30am this morning to drop someone to the airport and I can't believe how warm it is for 1st November. I was in a T-shirt.

    We got our summer in March and April, Early winter during the summer, a touch of Mid-Winter in September, and now in November, its...Spring? Weird.

    November the first is a bit to early, it leads to an anti-climax at the big day.

    I am all for people being organised with shopping and stuff, but the displays up already is a bit much.

    Does anyone else notice that a lot of shops and stores this year are looking for seasonal staff? More than usual

    Now there's a thought!.

    I might head home (finishing off a night shift), stay in the combats. Dusty off the gun and introduce the new dog (Jericho) to the delights of a mornings shoot.

    Although funny enough, the older I get the less inclined I am to kill (animals at least ;) ).

    On November 1st I feel like we've turned a corner and the year starts to wind down, anyone else feel the same?.

    You should seek professional help if the sight of a Christmas tree nearly makes you cry.

    These ones just walk along the side of the road.
    It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

    There was another fella beside him dressed like (I guess?) Jesus but I didn't see the connection. Jesus isn't really a Christmas event.

    A sleighing song tonight

    Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

    A day or two ago
    I thought I'd take a ride
    And soon Miss Fanny Bright

    The horse was lean and lank
    Misfortune seemed his lot
    We got into a drifted bank
    And then we got upsot

    given boards.ie is a multicultural site, i dont think christmas should be discussed at all here in respect of other religons.

    now, who's for mince pies? ;)

    Santa is Jesus's grandfather.

    I absolutely love Christmas but when the festivities start now, the whole thing is dead by Christmas Day. Such a shame. It really takes the fun out of it.
