Very sensible. I wish more people would adopt that attitude and not go mental and start sticking up decorations as early as October . Whenever I see them in a window so early, I just want to beat the person who put them up. Christmas lasts a week, people. Not f*cking TWO MONTHS!

council estates in wigan are always the first place to put the deccys up, usually as soon as they're back off their summer holidays :laugh:

mine go up around the 10th, then get hauled down again on new years day or the day after usually. i love christmas to bits but people need to get a grip, just cos tescos put the xmas sh*te out in october doesn't mean you have to as well :D

Because, like I said, Christmas lasts one week. It's ok having a Christmas spirit before that, but I find putting up decorations two months in advance to be seriously tacky. I just think it's bad enough having corporations shoving their sh*t down your throat as soon as they know they can get away with it, and that's just after Halloween. I always think that if not for Halloween, they'd  bombard us with advertisements as early as the start of October. I just find it all sickening, really. And all those advertisements without a mention of ol' JC himself. He'd be well p*ssed.
