Oh how you have made a mockery of our traditons, mighty consumerism.
Once upon a time there were twelve days to the Christmas festive season. Admittedly shops did start displaying seasonal goods at the start of December, but you could guarantee that the Christmas tree and the decorations would stay up until after the New Year.
Not so now.
Popping into Morrisons this morning for necessary stock ups on Stella, Kro and cat food, I espied a young employee busily taking down the hanging decorations and packing them away.
No doubt when I next go in, in a couple of days time, the shelves will be full of Easter eggs and hot cross bunnies.

Get in there quick Ian. You could corner the market on pagan chugging!

Hot cross bunnies?
I suppose it's the heat that makes them cross. Ties in nicely with your post about the man blagging money for a "Santa collection", a new custom that I fear will have morphed into penny for the santa, followed by penny for the easter bunny, penny for the Beltane horned god, penny for the midsummer druid etc. by this time next year.
