I'm tempted to take a 3 month break. Christmas smilies are crass and tacky at the best of times.

Hate them almost as much as I hate derv powered cars. :)

Unfortunately, as no one cares about your likes and dislikes, you'll have to put up with both of them.  ;D

You are allowed to ignore it all, I do. Right up until it can't be ignored any more, like realising that I'm wearing a funny hat and eating turkey.  ;D

Bristol always was very forward with Christmas showing in the shops there.  I should know.  I used to instruct our stores to get the Christmas stock out as soon as it arrived!  If you don't, the competition does :o :o :D ;)

When I lived there a few years ago, I was walking through one of the city centre malls and there was a Brass Band playing Christmas Carols.  ::)

The date?  ???  The 6th November!  :o  >:(

Did I mention I hate Christmas?  ???  Especially when it's not bloody Christmas!  ;D

My sister works for John Lewis. They have all been asked to go in overnight next weekend, so I guess the shop will look completely different by next Monday morning.

Gives you plenty of time to catch up on some Festive Spirit then.  ;D

Best Xmas and New Year I had was when I went to Hong Kong and Thailand for it a few years back  :y

I really do miss Humming White Christmas to myself whilst bombing around the Bay on a Jet Sky at 34 Degrees.  :) :'(

Ah, but just think of us old retailers who had to attend trade shows in April/May to order product for our stores!  So often it would always be hot which did not exactly put you in the mood for Christmas, although all the free sample where nice.  Often went home with bag fulls of goodies! 8) 8) :y
