…in a comercial sense at any rate. Don’t get me wrong. I love Christmas. And I’d love for the holiday to last longer. Working in Retail the best I get is four days off. That’s the name of the game though. What does bug me is the rampant commercialism that surrounds Christmas. It seems like each year we start selling Christmas goods earlier and earlier. Since the start of October we’ve had shelves stocked with mince pies, Christmas Pudding, Advent Calanders, Christmas Cards etc. Halloween hasn’t even come around yet and already we are in full Christmas mode. It’s a minor bugbear perhaps but it does still bug me a bit.
