1st November. 4 out of 5 songs on the store "radio", is a Christmas song. And not necessarily a good one. The company is not paying the PRS (American equivalent), so we get "So this is Christmas" and it's not John Lennon. And seriously, it's not fucking Christmas either.
Fortunately, the store tends to be closed when I work, because the constant string of expletives (and not just by me) would melt Kenneth Tynan's brain.
That said, they are interspersed with a lot of songs that are British, and not really hits, which means I pretty much know them, and can show off a bit. (EMF is on every day. Even I am sick of that now.)

I ate half a box of After Eights yesterday. That felt quite festive until the nausea kicked in.

Only once, though.
She has this Christmas playlist which takes about eight hours (quite acceptable), but which is also on repeat for the entire month of fucking December. At roughly December seven, I hate that music on that list with a passion. It includes Mariah Carey. Fuck. That.
Fortunately, I added this as antidote. It pulls me through the month.

Originally posted by Me Old Flower View PostThere is a Käthe Wohlfahrt outlet now occupying the old Mulberry Hall in York, which sells Christmas items. It actually fits in to the surroundings quite well in this case, though like all Wohlfahrt shops it is open all year round.
Not just for the "Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe" bollocks but for the fact it is in Disneyland Orlando which means that you can be looking at Christmas decorations in 90 degree heat.

But the die is cast; dried fruit is the devil's spawn and almost enough to ruin Christmas all by its shrivelled, beetle-y self.

Well I was going to say first mince pie of the year but I may have had a straggler in January so 'season' seemed better. It's seasonal food.
Anyway I was a guest at a meeting and they'd bought mince pies specially. It was a good one too. Nice crisp lattice pastry and tasty mincemeat that wasn't just an allspice sludge.
I have no regrets.
