    Christmas stuff has been in shops here since the beginning of September... No No No - it's all WRONG....aaaaaghhh!!!!!!!!! image

    Sorry MrsG image

    Seriously - I think it spoils it. Retailers seem to want to push us ever faster through the year. Time goes by too quickly as it is for me - it must be an 'age' thing! image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    The World to a certain degree depends on people buying not what they need but what they are TOLD they need

    Thats why Crimbo starts in October just to boost the sales of Global Companies

    I wonder what JC would say !!!

     

    Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.

    Yvie it is a fact that mince pies have to be tested to see which ones are best for Christmas.  You are only doing the best for your familyimage

    Mince pies , I agree you need to start buying them now or even making them now so you can properly test them and the only way to test them is eat them

    Market Research is what it is called 

    Merry Christmas image

    When we have all tried all of them, can we have a verdict.
