    'Tis 2 days after halloween, and all through the town, the santys are up, the pumpkins are down.

    Glitter and bells offend the eye, I let out an exasperated sigh.

    Just yesterday I heard the last of the bangs, the fireworks released by the local scangs,

    The alleys still reek, of halloween night, the over indulgence, the puke and the .... fright.

    But theres no rest for the wicked, no respite for the damned, the shops all converted into lapland.



    Whats the bloody story, I was in Jervis shopping centre and I am blinded by lights, fibreglass igloos and all the gaudy trappings of the spendfest that is Xmas. I mean seriously, I bet this stuff was up yesterday too, literally the day after halloween, which, if it didn't exist, we'd likely be subjected to this half of the year.

    I really pity the parents who will now be tormented by the kids for the next two months, who literally wont be able to bring them out the door without being bombarded with this crap, and probably have to explain to them repeatedly that they won't be getting as many presents as they did in the past.

    I pity the staff in the shops, they now will be subjected to the worst music on loop for two months, I'm sure it drives them insane.

    I dread to see the first sh*tty house covered in neon reindeers, santas and lights everywhere wasting as much electricity as you like.


    Why this bloody early? I know why deep down, but jesus is this even enjoyable anymore?

    Suddenly it's Christmas, right after Halloweeen.
    Forget about Thanksgiving;
    It's just a buffet in between.
    There's lights and tinsel in the windows;
    They're stocking up the shelves;
    Santa's slaving at the North Pole
    In his sweatshop full of elves.

    There's got to be a build-up
    To the day that Christ was born:
    The halls are decked with pumpkins
    And the ears of Indian corn.
    Dragging through the falling leaves
    In a one-horse open sleigh,
    Suddenly it's Christmas,
    Seven weeks before the day.

    CHORUS:
    Suddenly it's Christmas,
    The longest holiday.
    When they say "Season's Greetings"
    They mean just what they say:
    It's a season, it's a marathon,
    Retail eternity.
    It's not over till it's over
    And you throw away the tree.

    Outside it's positively balmy,
    In the air nary a nip;
    Suddenly it's Christmas,
    Unbuttoned and unzipped.
    Yes, they're working overtime,
    Santa's little runts;
    Christmas comes but once a year
    And goes on for two months.

    Christmas carols in December
    And November, too;
    It's no wonder we're depressed
    When the whole thing is through.
    Finally it's January;
    Let's sing "Auld Lang Syne";
    But here comes another heartache,
    Shaped like a Valentine.

    Suddenly it's Christmas,
    The longest holiday.
    The season is upon us;
    A pox, it won't go away.
    It's a season, it's a marathon,
    Retail eternity.
    It's not over till it's over
    And you throw away the tree.

    No, it's not over till it's over
    And you throw away the tree;
    It's still not over till it's over
    And you throw away the tree.

    Well, I was working in Tesco on Halloween night and me and few of the other lads were putting up the POS in the air for the big event. The Christmas power isle was been stocked up..

    Happy Christmas everyone.
