    It's not for me, but in a world of little cheer (at times) if it makes them happy (it must do) then let them crack on.

    Good for them. It’s dark and cold, so let’s get Christmas started. 
    Happy Christmas to all lifers.

    At least they had the decency to wait until after Halloween!

    Nothing "special" about Christmas if you stretch it out over two months.

    Always the first Sunday in December - this year that will be the 6th.
    Never before!

    If it's on their lawn or somewhere in their front garden, that's ridiculous. Far too early. Someone needs to have a word with them. 

    But if it's inside their house, they need to watch out for stalky, nosey neighbours...

    Never too early for that ! Eat my first few the weekend before last. Got to get the market research in !

    Used to be a grumpy bustard about all of this stuff but the world needs a bit more whimsy. I'm not gonna begrudge others that. Do whatever makes you happy and gets you through winter.

    We put our first one up yesterday.  Yes, seriously.  

    I was joking my work colleagues last week, as soon as Haloween is done, Mrs JB would want the tree up.

    One tree up, not decorated mind you.  I've half emptied the Xmas Decs loft, and the rest will come down next weekend when Mrs JB is back from her work trip.  Happy wife... happy life!



    She wants to buy a 9ft Xmas tree now, this is the 8ft one from our old house and its too short for our ceilings.  We could have funded a 3rd world country for all the money she spends on Xmas!  Sigh.

    Hot with double cream 😋. Hestons xmas range at Waitrose used to be great.

    I don't mind the shops being full of Christmas stuff at this time of year.  But it's the fucking eggs and flour that get me.  It's months until pancake day.
