I had to have a bit of a rant about this.

i don't think this is new, is it? It's often the case.
With supermarkets, it's a bit later, but only cos they have to do 'back to school' and Halloween first

This is the earliest I've ever known it in Oxford Circus, although I fully expect the lights to be on soon

Oxford Street Christmas lights are already up

Can you please open-up the Christmas Forum so this stuff is contained properly.

No decs at home until December, Oxford St etc. can do it once Bonfire Night is done.

We've just had the poster for the Christmas do go up in our staff room.
It's made me unreasonably grumpy.

Dec's also going up in natural history museum at the moment. Is it regent street I saw is closed this weekend for the lights to go up
Christmas eve is quite soon enough.

I saw a large end-of-aisle display of mince pies with overtly xmas themed packaging in Tesco’s the other day.

Eagerly awaiting the Christmas is banned/cancelled headlines that inevitably crop up during the season.

you spoilt it you idiot - it didn't need you to add anything.
you should let the joke make its own impact, instead of pointing out why it's funny ffs
