Bah, Humbug

I don't have a problem with Christmas. I'm not remotely religious, but enjoy the festive season as much as the next man. I do, however, deplore the tendency for it to start earlier and earlier each year...

It's bad enough that one of the local garden centres has been selling decorations and other festive fripperies since early October, but I noticed yesterday that outside our town hall there's a christmas tree all aglow with illuminations. Please, could we not wait until December ?
