Argos has a Christmas Tree up already

To qualify my :mad: I understand it to a point , the High Street continues to struggle so they need to boost footfall and sales anyway they can , it almost becomes a one upmanship contest who can start first . I had similar over a month ago at a local pub/restaurant , as I walked through the door the Manager was setting up a tree and display promoting Xmas lunches and menus have been available all over for some time, again because hospitality are struggling . The anger comes from the fact that in my earliest memories it was a time of awe and magic and now it has become a yawn by the time the main day arrives which I find really sad ,

I remember when Christmas started with the arrival of the Sears & Roebuck Christmas catalog. Seems as though it was shortly before Thanksgiving (last Thursday in November, for friends across the pond.)
 
I received my annual Fortum & Mason Christmas brochure and advent calendar today! I hasten that I'm not posh enough to order anything from it just happen to be on their mailing list:D:D:D
