Christmas comes early..

I can't believe it, the other night (31st October) I actually saw the first Christmas advert of the year. It was for Argos Direct, and they were telling you not to worry about rushing around in the hustle and bustle of the shoppers and just order all your Christmas presents online and have it delivered to you at your own convenience. I mean seriously it was the end of October, heck November hadn't even arrived by then!! I swear Christmas comes earlier each year, either that or I am becoming a "Scrooge" - Bah Humbug!!!

A small meme for your enjoyment..

I shamelessly stole this meme from Barbara
