I saw Christmas pudding on sale already, big festive display with loads of different puddings. They can't be too far behind with the nauseating Christmas music and decorations. Summer's only just ended, and we're already in the run up to Christmas?

I hate christmas. Cannot abide it. Only good thing about it is drinking a f*ckload of wine and watching the rednecks bate each other on Stephens night, from a safe distance.

It wouldn't be right if we didn't grumble about the Christmas run up coming earlier and earlier. I think we'll see the run up to Christmas 2046 starting in 2042.

I love christmas,I love the dinner,the Christmas Eve Drinks with the family,the opening the presents and the lying in front of the fire the rest of the day after the huge dinner.

As you can see,everything I love about Christmas takes place either the day before Christmas or on Christmas itself,not 12 fcuking weeks before! :mad:

I have. Heard them toward the end of August. I'd swear the people selling them start letting them off early to encourage sales...

As for christmas? F*ck off until at least mid-november.

Thing is though, this IS the time of year when puddings should be made. The rest is ridiculous but you're supposed to make your pudding in late september to give it 3 months to mature.

Time to to put the brussels sprouts on then.
Better buy six boxes of stuffing mix and a 100Kg of road salt now before it runs out.
Presents are best left until the last day so you can have a panic attack.
You forgot the wrapping paper didn't you, its all gone now.
And the bread, you forgot the bread for the turkey sandwiches.
