    For once on this issue I'm going to have to disagree.

    Though imo christmas comes too early every year, becoming more like America etc etc etc, but this year I noticed most radio dj's refused to play christmas songs before December 1st, and not too many decorations up yet.

    December 1st is still too early, but it's not as bad as in Boston where it basically starts in September....

    Incorrect. It actually starts later here in the US. The ball doesnt really get rolling until the day after Thanksgiving (last Thursday in November). I find it starts much earlier over there.

    I hadn't really noticed until I went to work on Sunday and noticed a tree in the reception. That said, I have enough things on my plate that Christmas isn't important right now.

    I though Fobia was correct i didn`t hear much about christmas this year until december, i`d say the crappy mild wheather is affecting every1`s judgement. I mean its way too warm for frost/ice or anything fun, i saw a wasp the other day. the 14th of dec "A WASP", lousy global warming. :mad: It`s that stupid fooking white-house not signing up to the KYOTO agreement; for the leaders of the free world thats really p()()r play
