How do you know it’s getting near Christmas?
There’s a chap on the forks of a telehandler thingie putting the Chrimbo lights up on the street lamp.
Very festive as -4.something C and everything is nice and frosty.
Just waiting for the first Bah Humbug.

Christmas is more than 1/12 of the year away. If your boss paid you a 1/12 of your salary less than you were expecting, would you be happy when he said "it's close enough"? No, and some of us don't think we're "close enough" to Christmas to go in to Christmas-this and Christmas-that every bloody five minutes.
It's all made up nonsense anyway.
I'll celebrate mid winter festival at the appropriate time, not a month or more before!

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"
Christmas begins on the 7th January.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Thought I’d cheer you lot up! I side effect of not getting much sleep last night due to having an elderly dog that’s gone nocturnal and desperately wants to be in “his” car, in spite of the temperature.

Maybe Santa’s balloon is sponsored by Richard Branson.
Kids spotted this on the Main Street, but I was too busy watching the road. And the lights stop halfway down the Main Street, not going the full length of all the shops.2014 - D4 2010 HSE Nara Bronze

There are a lot of store and garden centre owners don’t know that. 2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.

I must admit the lights are very festive. It was cold, frosty & foggy last night so it all felt very Christmassy.
