We just got this today at work...
Hi All
It's that time of year again!!!!
The Christmas Party will be held at the xxxxxxxxxx Hotel on the 8th December 2006.
If you could let me know if you will be attending so that I can get an idea of numbers.
I will send round menus nearer the time and also other details such as transport times etc.
Regards,
Gina

American or not i like that Fiber Optic Twig shaped Tree and i haven't seen it around here yet.
As for when to sell Christmas stuff a couple of weekends ago i saw one of the big stores a Seasonal products area already selling Halloween, Thanks Giving, and Christmas Products all mixed. I guess people can just decorate for a multi-holiday combination thing lasting 4.5 months. We can call it the Ha Chri Tha or something like that.

And that isn't an option for alot of people.syd wrote: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.
Don't forget that for many that's only four pay cheques away, and if you're not on great money and want to do it right, getting a proper family christmas together takes carefull planning and budgeting.

For me the Christmas season started about a month ago when some charity phoned me up asking if I wanted to sell tickets for their Christmas raffle. I tried pointing out that it had only just turned August ( then ) , and was told that "this gave me more time to sell them"

I remember that at this Pier 39 mall in San Francisco they had an all year Christmas shop back in 1991 and they had a display counting down towards Christmas. This was in July.Wife_Of_Snake wrote:Got Halloween and Christmas stuff in the shops here, but I think it's more to cater for the tourists that are about (2007 calendars started trickling into stores in April)
My mum has also started getting Christmas pressies together for us, to send earlier, so we get them in plenty of time...
Doesn't bother me, that you see stuff earlier. You don't have to buy it yet, if you don't want to
