NOVEMBER.
I saw my first house really decorated for Christmas today. I thought I saw one toward the end of October and I was happily mistaken โ theyโd decorated their house for Halloween, but had used Christmas lights and tinsel around their spooky display. Iโm all for being organised (I lie) but is November 16th not a tad too early for Christmas?
Yes, I know the TV adverts are now hitting the screens like theyโre going out of fashion, but thatโs TV Land โ the companies there just want our money. However, in real lifeโฆ November? Christmas??
It wonโt be long now before everyone starts to try to out-do the Joneses, especially now that one has started, and weโll all be blinded by dazzling displays of Christmasness.
Each to their own, I say.
Iโm lucky in the regard that I only put up a cheery โHo!Ho!Ho!โ to brighten the place up. Well, I say โput upโ; I actually mean โkeep upโ all year around, as I miss the deadline to take it down, so up it must remain. Iโve gotten used to it now, and with it already being up, thatโs one less job to do for the busy period.
Iโm a little grumpy today as my cold has returned and my eyes and nose are flowing like Niagara Falls, hence a One Minute Grumble rather than Ramble. Itโs still a ramble though, with a touch of grumble. Itโs good to be different.
