    Dear mod God, make the bad man with who mentioned Christmas outside of the Christmas forum go away.

    Let this be a lesson to others. Release thy rath, the fury, the glory that is... your finger.


    k tks bai.

    Am I the only one who doesn't understand what the feck a load of chocolate bars, which are available all year 'round, packed together in a rectangular box has to do with Christmas?

    A vaguely-Christmas themed box of cheap chocolate bars. Why not?

    It's when the same 6 or 7 Chrimbo songs provide the BGM for every single shop that you start to grind your teeth - it'll happen after Halloween (or even before then in some of the nastier places)

    Was a selection box not one of the gifts the three wise men brought to Jesus?

    Sure Tesco has a 3 for 1 deal if anyone fancies picking up the two other gifts of a tube of jelly beans and a chocolate reindeer.

    Mince pies on sale yesterday at the check out at the Marks & Spencers food shop in the IFSC. Xmas decorations, cards, wrapping paper on display today at the mother ship M&S store in Henry St. PJ's with Santy and snow flakes on sales in Dunnes. And there I am knocking around the town in a Tshirt on a warm and muggy day in September. Madness !!!

    Was in Tesco on Tuesday and they were playing Christmas songs.

    We really shouldn't be forced to endure Christmas from the beginning of September.
