ITS NOT CHRISTMAS YET

I've just been to my local shop and they are selling mince pies and mistletoe chocolate. Not only is it not even the same season as Christmas or the same month as Christmas, it isn't even Autumn yet. We are in the last couple of weeks of Summer and they're starting to sell Christmas things already.

They need to clear the Christmas stock, to make room for the Easter eggs coming next week.

No, only metreologists think this. Officially, Summer is the season between the Summer solstice and the Autumn equinox. Autumn (usually) starts on the 21st of Sepetember.

I heard a christmas advert on't radio yesterday. I hate christmas Not too sure why mind I just get REALLY grumpy. The fact that everyone is running round and falsely enjoying themselves, then telling me I'm a misery really grips my s**t as well
Donut, you really need to remove that xmas avatar
