Over the last few years it has been said that I am a humbug, that I hate Christmas, I hate the holidays... It is not true, I juust HATE the fact people and businesses start selling Christmas stuff 3 months in advance. Its bollocks. I apologise but it is. Christmas does not occur in September, October or November. Its a December only occurance, once a year for 25 days only.
As I mentionned in one of my earlier rants - I mean blogs - my local Sainsburies started selling Christmas chocolates and sweets in September, Halloween got completely skipped over.
My going rule is (and anyone who disagrees.... is wrong =) ) ; It is unacceptable to state it is Christmas/Christmassy/ The Holidays or any other permutations of Christmas therein, before either the 1st of December OR until you have seen the Coca-Cola advert.
There are exceptions to this rule -
1) You obviously have to believe in Christmas
2) The Holidays are different in America and therefore count from Thanksgiving Day but only if you are American born and bred OR you have lived there longer than 5 years
3) The Coca-Cola rule only counts after 00:01am on the 1st December AND NOT BEFORE
4) You are Father Christmas and Christmas therefore lasts all year
And in keeping with my own rules - albeit a day and a half late due to lack of internet-
The Voices and I Agree it is now acceptable to say it is Christmas. Merry Christmas Everyone!
