Attenzione! Zer are too many menshuns of zee word ******** in zis thread!
You vill all stop forthwith talking about an event not scheduled to occur until zee month of the December and late in zat month too, when all der druid peoples celebrated mid-winter.
To give creedence to my request I will accuse das advertising peeples of being too short on der imagination to dream up anything else to promote the sales of their shoddy goods. Before the date where people get sentimental eat and drink too much and burp and fart and argue with in-laws there are other occasions, notably das USA horror fest and ponce time known as Halloween and celebration of trying to kill all der government with Guy Fawkes Night and those Muslims celebrate summat in November I think (Ede?).
Today in IKEA there were baubles, paper chains and colourfully decorated conifer trees in celebration of December 25th, And it's still September (just). So das Swedisher conglomerate can go **** themselves for acting in poor taste, now they off limits to moi for two months at least.
That time of year - shut up!
