You know something, I have no problem with Christmas itself but I don't like the way they target the kids for two months in advance and convince them they're worthless cretins if their parents don't get them the latest and greatest gadgets costing thousands.

I get out of Christmas shopping with the wife the same way every year.

"I need to work pet, sorry but I've got to pay for your shopping spree somehow."

In the local news there is a man that has already put up his Christmas house lights two weeks ago!

Although he does it for charity and makes thousands for good causes, its too soon in my book.

As the song goes "The 12 days of Christmas". NOT 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS.


We have'nt even celebrated the failed terrorism act of Guy Folks yet!

A few of the stores had christmas tunes playing today and plenty had all the christmas displays up and running already. They do get earlier each year, as they do with all the holidays, even easter is stretched out for ages nowadays!

Aye ..... before long you'll start to notice that policemen are getting younger and not so tall as they used to be as well. At about the same time, you'll start thinking about a pension plan ....
