    Over my dead f*ckin' twitching corpse it is . . .

    Let us be clear, if you advertise your product with a Christmas ad before December I'm not buying it.
    If your radio station plays a Christmas song pre-December I'm detuning it.
    Any sight of holly, garlands, any Christmas decorations at all & I'm turning around & walking back out.

    You have been warned.
    Nobody shots the starter pistol for Christmas before the 1st of December.

    My parents were watching a Christmas movie the other day. I hoped I was mistaken as I walked into the kitchen and heard some jangling from the sitting room so I poked my head in - not only a Christmas movie folks...a Christmas movie on a Christmas channel! The devil is among us alright.

    I read the thread topic and thought for a moment 'is tomorrow Dec 1st?'

    Sure lights have been up about a week in Dublin streets.

    Just ignore as much as you can, get your shopping done really early and you can forget about it. That what I do every year.

    Never has the phrase "living in the moment" struck me harder than a Christmas thread on Halloween

    My shopping is done. I hate the Christmas panic (but love Christmas) - I love being in town drinking coffee and relaxing while watching everyone going mad to find them last gameboy or whatever.

    Good luck with that buddy.

    The woeful displacement of spiritual mindfulness causes those who are starved of guidance to fill the moral vacuum which is their souls with the empty consumerist relativism of modern materialist tyranny.

    I thought it begins on Advent Sunday? Usually falls around the beginning of December.
