Anyone put their Christmas Tree up yet ?

I'm giving turkey a miss this Christmas, going to have a nice leg of pork instead, with loads of crispy crackling and apple sauce.

My Mrs has repeatedly expressed interest at putting up fairy lights already. I told her that if I see any lights up before the 1st of December I'm going to get a pair of scissors and cut the cable (I'll unplug them first of course) - we're sort of in a cold war stand off about it now, just see who makes the first move!

Ask her why she didn't want to put them up in April? :p

Yeah I heard that this year's turkeys are being nerfed so that they can only feed 6 people (rule of six). At least we'll still get through 12 bottles of wine between the 6 of us, so that won't change :-)
 
I have been known to wait for the big reductions at homebase before buying a tree,(living) got afew in my extensive garden (boomer )
If it gives some people comfort to look forward early that's ok by me with all that's going on
As regards turkey ,have I told you I'm vegan ? ,Job done
 
Another one for the first week of December here.

Although my wife and I have already done the majority of the Christmas shopping. It's a nice feeling knowing its done and out the way with.

TOO EARLY.

Fairly sure the Sony Xmas channel has been live for over a month, now :p Although technically that's not an advert (it's much, much worse). I can't imagine too many channels that could be more painful to watch than one dedicated to movies about the holiday...
 
Anyone else bought Christmas chocolate and devoured it, just because it was on offer?

No? Just me then :D
 
I had Xmas pudding this week. Saw it at Sainsbury's, bought it and had some for evening dessert. I don't care much for Xmas tbh but a nice chunk of quality pud I'll eat anytime :D
 
Are the xmas fare (mince pies , cakes, ) in js & waitrose genuinely earlier than usual ?
Nothing in Aldi, yet, though (eg stollen), I though Aldi had quite a lot of European food, so given brexit, I don't know how they are planning for that.

Council ,on weekend rates this morning putting up the xmas decorations ... must be their xmas perk, I'm sure the traffic is not so bad during the week.
