There's nothing stopping anyone doing their Christmas shopping at any time of year. It doesn't need to be splattered across the shops at this time of year. There was Christmas wrapping paper for sale in the shops in Edinburgh in September. Do your shopping whenever you like, but surely it's not such a big problem to wait till Christmas time to buy your wrapping paper? Or buy it in the January sales for the following year if you need to count the pennies.
I buy mine along with cards and any decorations in January at reduced prices, not because I might need to count the pennies, it just makes more sense in my world, I know that's sorted for the next year and I can't resist a bargain
That's the choice of the people. The choice of the retail market is to do it as early as possible and exploit the minds of children and dement the minds of parents.
I bought a box of chocolates for a friend's birthday a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't till I got home and started wrapping them that I noticed that they were Christmas chocolates. The box was pale blue but had baubles on it.
It'll teach me to be a little more observant but I don't want Christmas chocolates in October!
The Dome in George Street has had its Christmas decorations up for at least three weeks.
There's just no need.1st December is plenty soon enough.
*firmly in the bah humbug camp*
I have not seen any decorations up anywhere yet but I don't like to see then until December
