    I think it's great that it's Christmas once again. It's a time where we can forget about the economy and spent money like the tiger days again :)

    Speaking of easter eggs, my parents live in Swords, and I have on many Christmas mornings driven up Rathbeale Road to see JC's supermarket advertising that their easter eggs are now in stock.....

    Well there's nothing nicer than a turkey and creme egg sandwich on St.Stephens Day.

    The hospitality industry has been advertising venues for Christmas parties for ages. Some shops have toys and christmas goods in alongside the Halloween things. Butchers are advertising their Christmas clubs. It's that time already and it'll only get worse over the next couple of weeks. Hell, as soon as we get to the 1st November and the Halloween stock is off the shelves the shops will be swamped with Christmas things.

    Think of the advertising bounce you get by being first out.
    Everyone whinges & talk about feck all else for the next few days.
    Your brand awareness goes through the roof, clever marketing methinks.

    The suckers that get sucked into this palaver deserve getting shorn. Here the shopping spree begins on Black Friday (the busiest shopping day of the year) - the Friday after Thanksgiving (28th November this year). The big shops stay open 24/7. All because of an illegitimate birth in a shed over 2000 years ago. :)

    Giving out about how early Christmas ads appear on the radio and television is much more tiresome than the ads themselves.

    I love Christmas. Plum pudding, a large glass of brandy, a log fire, an extremely camp knitted jumper.
