An annoying habit is people celebrating Christmas early and earlier with the end result is Christmas themed adverts and TV shows as early as quarter past November. Christmas decorations are already up in some homes as well as shops and it is utterly ridiculous.
I don't know about you lady and gentle reader but its this bloggers opinion to let Christmas be Christmas. Lets not be led into starting early because some shop wants to launch a Black Friday sale, as far as I'm concerned Christmas begins on December the 1st and ends on boxing day. I will not be swayed on the subject and will no doubt be in the Christmas spirit in a little under a fortnight.

My Favourite Christmas Song
What ho ladies and gentle readers, I hope I find you in fine yuletide festive frollicks as we enter December. A subject that always comes up this time of year is the annual debate "whats your favourite Christmas song?" Well I'm nailing my colours to the mast, you can keep your Wham's, Roy Wood and East 17. My favourite Christmas song is Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. Do you agree? Do you disagree? If so why not reply with your favourite, meanwhile for those of you who've never heard it heres the youtube video...

John Lewis Christmas Advert
Halloween has been and gone, Bonfire Night has finished in a blaze of fireworks, so whats next?
Oh yes Christmas, which means Christmas films on Ch5 two months before it starts and shops kick starting their marketing drive with adverts. Speaking of which here's the John Lewis one:
What the fuck was that supposed to be? It was bad enough when The Beatles with an A had a go at ruining Real Love, can't we just let the classics rest in peace and come up with new songs? Excuse me while I take this advert apart bit by bit.
1. You can't have a penguin on a trampoline! That's for kangaroos and bunny's.
2. You stick a penguin in with a seagull and flock of pigeons you don't get a cute moment you get a fight, multiple deaths and the RSPCA on your ass.
3. Penguins can't play football, water polo yes but not football.
4. Your saying this little boy came up with an imaginary friend who is on heat 24/7? Where was this plot development in the pigeon and seagull scene?
5. You can't take a pet on a bus that isn't on a lead without incurring a fine.
6. If he has a toy penguin his parents aren't going to get him another, as a kid my parents wouldn't let me have the Transformer Sideswipe because he was the same as Red Alert who I already had. See below pictures of aforementioned Transformers:
Parents getting two of the same toys doesn't happen!
7. So essentially what your saying is instead of getting good presents get kids anything because they have imagination?
8. This doesn't make me want to shop at John Lewis, this makes me want to not shop at John Lewis and spend the day listening to The Beatles with an A's anthology collection.
So ladies and gentle readers what have we learnt from this blog apart from the fact my parents were tight? I'll tell you what, absolutely bloody nothing.
