Agree shops should be banned from having christmas stuff out to early. Gives the kids to much time to pick out their (more expensive) presents. |

I do love the look on my sons face come presant time though.
do you have to work every Christmas? |

Cyprus was so gorgeous, we decided we would rather save for another holiday than waste money on stupid presents that nobody uses after about a week.
So here's to hoping the holiday fund grows and grows. 
that sounds awesome..
i would love to go back to the States for Christmas..preferably for snow as well..lol.. |

I love christmas, if nothing else it gets all the family together which seems to be increasingly difficult nowadays. Not to mention my credit card company love me for it! |

I think shops should be banned from doing anything Xmasy until November at the very earliest. 
I agree with you, i trhink advertising should not start till after Bonfire night, it takes away the excitement of it... |

Doesnt really bother me to be honest, me and my missus normally make presents for people anyways so it doesnt cost much at all and we dont need to trawl shops in the rush. Between us we make scarfs, hats, bracelets, necklaces and home baked mini hampers of food. The lack of kids and spending stress leaves us with a nice chilled out christmas :-), not a lot of 27 year olds can say that haha
