Christmas, on the other side of the pond (Score:2)

by ziggy (25) on 2001.11.24 13:14 (#1955) Journal

This year, the tinsel selling season started early. Here on this side of the pond, the christmas trees and decorations started going on sale after Labor Day (1st week in September).
In the last few years, retailers have tended to break down the Halloween decorations pretty quickly on November 1st in order to start hanging Christmas decorations. Pretty soon, it'll start *during* the Summer holidays. :-S
Besides, if all of the nativity scenes are getting annoying, there's always festivus [salon.com].
