Christmas shopping... in July?

[Gwylan]

I've just had an email inviting me to a Christmas shopping evening on 24 July.

WTF? I know that Christmas gets earlier and earlier but this is before the summer break.

Anyone know any Christmas events earlier than this?

I've been told by the missus today that I have half a chance of a leg-over this weekend - which would be considerably earlier than my Christmas annual effort

I've organised our work Christmas do for the past couple of years.

Yesterday, I got a phone call from the Royal Albion Hotel (guess we must be on their mailing list), asking if I'd thought about this year's party and trying to confirm my address to send details and a brochure

:thud:

Nothing like advance planning I suppose!

Yeah, but in Oz, Christmas is in the summer, so it should be any day now.

Advance planning is one thing, but I'm not sure my colleagues would be quite so keen if I went back in on Friday and asked them to cough up for their turkey and crackers, in the middle of July

Thanks for the reminder Gwylan. We're past Midsummers Day so the nights are now drawing in again. Best get those decorations up ...

... and put the sprouts on to boil.
