    ...I just ate a handful of Cadbury's Roses \o/

    I feel sickly and satisfied.

    It began for me like 2 weeks ago, by your measure. I've already gone through a big tin of them. :D

    Yeah, we have the fire lit and the tree decorated for the first time tonight, that means it's Christmas, for me anyway.

    Remember kids, if you find a fat man in a red suit in your bedroom on Christmas Eve night, its probably a cardinal.

    I love that ad! J O'Connell's pub that's filmed in it is just up the road from me. Mr O'Connell is dead now but his elderly wife still runs the pub, everyone just knows it as Mrs O's.

    Is that Budweiser one with the clydesdales still on anymore? I don't think I've seen it in years!
