So where to begin...
Well Christmas starts here in late October, some of the bigger store's have the usual tripe displayed, fake tree's, tinsel, chocolate selections , usual tacky shite.
From then on in it just gets more and more into silly season, with piped Christmas music, the same crap you hear every year.....silly bastards covering their houses in tacky lights.
Anyway we get through November with all this background stuff, then come December and it's....what are you doing for Christmas? What shall we buy your mother, our Robert? Etc etc.
By Christmas day you've lost track of what day it is, then you get blasted by adds for Boxing day sales.....it all goes on till 2nd January, your brain is fucked by then of course and you've put on 3 kilograms
Here were gearing up now for Australia day so shops full of Australia day tripe , events advertised a days holiday, huge feasts to arrange of course.
Not long after it'll be Valentine's day which is getting to be big business here in Oz, shops full of chocolates, jewellers in overdrive, restaurants being all booked up etc etc........and oh look, feckin easters on the horizon:(
A desert island is beginning to sound Appealing!
Is it me turning into a grumpy old fecker or is everybody sick of it all?
