lol, we're getting our Christmas sale signs in where I work next week and the district manager has had a managers meeting for Christmas setups. In the business world, it never goes away.

I'm afraid the only way to stop the commercialisation of Xmas is to not spend money like a fucknut on pointless tat.

Very True, our family only gets the nicest presents for the children in the family. Us adults exchange some also, but small ones for ease.

I can't wait to see the typical and standard video of people climbing over each other the morning after Thanksgiving, here in the states. Then people will complain and moan that something should be done and GUESS WHAT it happends again next year. Simply hilarious

I used to work in a supermarket and my boss said to me

'you will know it's christmas when the easter eggs are delivered'

The only reason shops stock christmas lines so early is because people buy them. If everyone stops buying xmas stuff in september, shops will stop stocking it.

Quite simple explanation W_O_S,

A majority of the ornaments and so on available from The Christmas Cave are imported from the U.S. (mum bought a selection of ornaments a few Christmases back.)

May not sound logical, but there ya go.

I must be missing something, as ornaments are just ornaments to me, wherever in the world I buy them :)
