The Christmas lights are already going up in George Square, Glasgow. It's not even Halloween yet! Where has the year gone?! I'm seeing advent calendars in supermarkets as well. Bit premature! Anyone else's town putting up the decorations already?

Happening in Good ol' Swansea! Haha :D
I love this time of the year. Bad for the wallet though.
The bank of Nick will be severely raided this year, buying the family a 5.1 surround sound system w/ blu-ray player. Trying to find a good deal but so far £170 is the best I'm getting
They don't get switched on till late november tho? Thats what happens in Bournemouth/Dorset; its a big project, so they start now.
Yep nearly here! My mum already bought my dog his advent calendar :huh:
I believe Glasgow's Lights On celebration is on 14th November, at the start of the Glasgow on Ice Festival. The winter festival here is a big thing, George Square gets a huge ice rink and a bunch of family stuff like Helter Skelters, chairoplanes etc in. It's actually really nice up here around Christmas :3Quote:

They bring such things very early in store!
We already have peppernuts.

Asked my mum if she has spotted anything and she spotted some christmas chocolates and you can now order your christmas tree!
Over 'ere there's a few folk who don't even bother taking some decorations down... think they've noticed this trend and are making sure they're prepared every year!Quote:

This September they were pushing "pumpkin" stuff, like lattes and whatnot. Hello, pumpkins are in October!
I can see preparing in advance when you aren't sure if you will have good enough weather to put up the decorations later, but this seems kind of early. Well lets hope they don't turn them on yet!
Nothing here yet but sure there will be in next week or so as remember last year it was before Halloween.
Shops, however, yup lots of Christmas stuff in there. Not sure what I'm getting yet for Christmas. Asking my daughter, she is completely convinced she is getting a puppy but not allowed one lol
But Muuuuuuuum!
e thing I love about Christmas? Cadburys start producing their Festive Friends chocolate biscuits again :zippy:
Because of this thread I am getting a christmas feeling already. and it aint even december yet.
ahahahahahahaha...Quote:

Same is happening here in Cardiff. Lights going up all over the city centre. They wont get turned on though until the middle of November I guess.
In Germany (Sauerland), we cannot see any Christmas stuff outside so far.
I think all the early Christmas stuff got just one reason: To bring us into Christmas feelings, to rush us to buy things, it's a marketing strategy.
Indeed it is my friend. But can't they just wait a few more weeks before robbing us blind?!
