on: October 17, 2008, 10:36:16 PM

Has anyone started their christmas shopping yet...cause there's a few people I know that have, I think it's quite stupid...christmas shopping in October.

Anyway: your thoughts for this years Christmas.

Bah Humbug

I saw a person in Asda in September buying Advent callenders and selection boxes
It is such a comercial festival nowadays, you go back to school and you are not greeted with songs and chants for brotherhood and humanity but with a list of what every one recieved.

It is said that our country has the longest Christmas season, because we start preparing on September. Not much of Halloween, but All Saints Day is a holiday. So right after that, it's full-blown Christmastime already.

In my country, we can't prepare x'mas too early because some people will be angry and it will causing another religion conflicts...
