Robert Poste's Child Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I think Christmas was more fun and meaningful when there wasn't a three or four month build-up to it. The Dutch are now thinking about Sinterklaas and get onto Christmas after that. In the US Thanksgiving does the same thing. We need a new holiday around the end of November.

StraferJack Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 3 or 4 months? Isn't there 6 weeks to go? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/51326-ive-seen-my-first-tree/#findComment-797594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Poste's Child Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Some shops started getting Christmas stuff in late Aug / early Sept. If you add on the Jan sales period, there are people out there who'll have been eating mince pies and family tins of Quality Street for five months by the time supplies finally run out (just in time for three months of Easter eggs).

LadyNorwood Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Harrods, Selfridges et al usually have their Christmas departments from mid-August - they're after the tourist dollars, yen, dirham, roubles etc etc... There's a Christmas shop in Sausalito CA open all year round - nobody seems to mind as they know it's (again) aimed at tourists....

jctg Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 11th November is definitely the winner for having a Christmas tree up. It's all about the silver medal now.
