For what it's worth, I am fully behind Mr Zarse on this one.
I am totally sick of the way Christmas has been commercialised, and starts being rammed down your throat beginning sometime in August

I now have a list of shops who started advertising way toooo early, and I refuse to use them at all.
I have managed to do a deal with my brother, whereby we will be exchanging absolutely nothing for Xmas

and have upset my Mother as I have decided to go on a 3 day fishing trip starting Xmas eve
Just me and a few Carp I hope, plus some frost and the rest of the wildlife whom I will spare some nuts and food for. Ahhh Xmas as it should be.
Happy Christmas everyone.
