It’s the 12 of September, it’s still summer (even if it doesn’t feel like it any more, and what are ASDA selling in their “seasonal” aisle? Selection Boxes!

I always complain that Christmas is getting earlier each year but most stores have the decency to wait till after Halloween. Actually what is going to happen at Halloween I doubt that they would take down all the Christmas stuff since they have gone to so much trouble putting it out. The two festivals will have to share the same aisle, don’t be surprised if Santa comes “trick or treating” this year, or some pissed up joker with reindeer antlers throwing eggs at your house.

Still it could be worse, one can only assume that with ASDA now being part of the “WAL*MART” family that our American cousins have been seminally blessed with the chance to buy yuletide merchandise in summer. I bet there will be junior school plays over there where the founding fathers leave the religious oppression of Britain to work in Santa’s f***ing grotto in Lapland.
