    I think Larry gogan usually gets the honour of playing the first Christmas song on 2fm but it’s much nearer the big day. Maybe the 1st of December

    I think the last couple of years it’s been November 30th to coincide with the toy show. It’s a lovely little tradition.

    Was in Northern Italy for a break this week-end, and some market stalls had beautiful Christmas decorations, wooden trees, cribs (and the little statues for the crib).

    and that reminded me: Christmas markets in many cities would be open in just over a month's time !

    The birthday card comment was amazing but I cannot stand those negative comments. Like how are unlit Christmas lights affecting these people in any way at all?

    I don't think some people relies the work that is involved in putting up those lights!

    Agree 100%.
    Never understand the rush to criticise anything to do with christmas being mentioned or planned before some made up date in peoples heads... its like they wear it as a badge of honour,

    The type that cant wait to roll their eyes or cry 'dont mention the c word' or suchlike until its christmas eve or something seem to be the majority nowadays & i find it so depressing that so may see christmas as something to be endured rather than welcomed & enjoyed... those of us that enjoy christmas & the build up are harming no one and enjoy that little beacon of brightness & joy in the distance, so leave us be while we allow ourselves be merry at the thought of good times to come. Sure beats being negative IMO.

    I was planning a quiet night on the couch playing the Xbox, but think Home Alone has just changed my mind :D

    One of the infamous Xmas decorations in Edinburgh has gone up!
    Makes the early morning starts and late finishes in work easier ... just a little!

    Just seen this on Twitter. It relates to the U.K.
    Anyone told you that it's too early for Xmas stock in the supermarkets? Here's a surprising bit of trivia for you: FOUR MILLION POUNDS were spent on mince pies in September alone.

    Oh I love Edinburgh, and it is one of the most Christmassy cities for me !
    I was there last in early Nov last year and it was so seasonal with the decorations, shortbread, hot toddies...

    It's my distinct pleasure to lock this thread as we are no longer out of season! :)

    We will see you all again in the 2019 Out of Season thread in late Jan 2019. :)
