That depends, was it from a Christmas selection that'll be well out of date by Christmas?

Well yes, but having a celebrations dinner isn't a good thing. Is it?

I spotted tubs today as well. Stayed strong though. I usually buy 2 tubs early in case I have trick or treaters on Halloween.

Every year I have no trick or treaters and 2 tubs of celebrations to myself.

It's been there a couple of years at least. There's not much to look forward to in South Lakeland.

My only visits to that end of Kendal in recent years have avoided the Market Hall.....

The town was in a bit of a sorry state though

Imagine what it's like for the poor sods working retail. I must admit having the pallets arrive in July can be soul destroying. At least Chocolate can be eaten anytime...

When I did my time in retail I was thoroughly sick of this constant commercialism of holidays. In my second year or retail. I couldn't believe the extent that people go to get the 'perfect' Christmas. Some were asking for pigs in blankets in August. And fresh Turkeys in October... Oh and tree decorations in march/April, just in time for Easter...

It could be too late rather than too early.

I use all the will power I possess to never buy tubs of choccies, and then some fucker (who clearly doesn't like me) gives me a tub for Christmas. By which point I've already exhausted my will power supply, so it lasts about 45.86 seconds...

Would it help if I told you that the world record is 45.32s? You're so close

I want to skip Christmas completely this year and pretend I missed it. Or can we just postpone it indefinitely for now? And choose a better date. Not feeling it this year.
