I love Christmas.
What annoys me though is Christmas before it is Christmas.
Perfect example of it this morning in Asda. In there they have on display, on a 'Extra Special' range, promotional stand, buttercream mince pies, Christmas cake in the shape of a Christmas tree, yule log, a Christmas fruit cake wreath, salted caramel Christmas pudding and other stuff too.
None of it was freezable and everything on there had to be eaten before the 8th December. Most of it was by the end of November! Arggh!!!!
Lots of people looking at the products on there.
Very clever of the supermarkets to do this, because we humans are all so thick.
They are bringing Christmas to us early and no doubt loads of people who buy this stuff will eat it before the best before date and well before Christmas and then go out and buy the same stuff again actually For Christmas.
Irked me somewhat, that.
Think all the commercialism that abounds is just going to get worse and worse and soon we will have a practice Christmas Eve, a practice Christmas Day and a practice New Year.
I cannot see any point whatsoever in specifically targeted Christmas food being produced that has to be eaten well before Christmas.
