    If that's your attitude, you might be posting in the wrong forum. :pac:

    You might want to have a look at the charter again-especially this part:
    comments like "Bah, Humbug" or "OMG, It's October" may be deleted and can earn you a warning.

    But I love Christmas. I just remember when I was younger, it was only a certain period of the year, and it wasn't being advertised for months in advance.

    There is no way I'm anti Christmas, it's my favourite time of year

    There's an Aldi Christmas ad already? Are you sure it's a Christmas ad as per the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI)
    Christmas advertisements cannot be broadcast until November 1st

    And the UK have the same ruling.

    I'm starting to see posts every week on my Facebook feed about how many weeks there are until Christmas. I think it's being posted to freak people out, rather than any actual excitement for Christmas, but I'm enjoying it! 😄

    Yeah a neighbour loves to post countdown pictures ie XXX days to go until Christmas. Thinking of putting up the Christmas decorations on Nov 2nd this year instead of December 8th.

    Spotted these penguin jars in TIGER at lunch time, you could use them as cookie jars. €5.

    They also had Build Your Own Gingerbread House sets for €4, no pic. Best before September 2016, safe enough :D

    Why was my post removed? I simply answered a direct question and I wasn't one bit unfriendly or planning to or even going to make any further contributions or anything in fact. Just removed without comment. Not that I care very much and only for the removal you wouldn't have ever seen me here again, but wtf? Is there a secret christmas police at work?

    Yes, it was removed. Your post said that you don't get the obsession with Christmas and that people who "pine" for Christmas are weird.

    Such posts will be removed and it's not a secret, as we have stated as much in the charter which can be found in it's entirety here.
