Now heading into my THIRD (count them)... yes, THIRD holiday season spent in the U.K., I think its time to make comment of the ridiculously early appearance of Christmas products in the stores.
I think because Halloween is a bit of a non-holiday and because there is no thanksgiving here, as soon as Back to School rolls out the shops move right into holiday mode.
Just posting to say that the official date of my spotting Christmas chocolates, bows and wrapping paper on display in British shops was September 24th 2007.
I believe that's the earliest I've ever seen Christmas products on display.
Stay tuned for details about my new job(s) in London, my new flat, and the soon to be posted date of the first time I hear a Christmas Carol playing in public.
