There have been TV ads lately from the Sun. Christmas club or similar. Many folk begin their Christmas shopping at the January Sales. There's nowt as queer as folk.

Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

I don't plan ahead far, but if I see something I know someone would like I buy it and put it away, it makes things a lot easier when December comes.
And if I get ideas for gifts I write them down before I forget !
I often find that people like home-cooked things like mince-pies, seasonal biscuits and cookies and small Christmas cakes as much as anything !

Poor little mites, they must be overwhelmed with gifts, must make them so confused!

Christmas should not reach the shops until November, now is much too early.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
