Yes that and turkey dinner on the first day, cold turkey sandwiches the next and turkey soup the day after that

Oh and I hate roasting the turkey... What an ugly old bird it is that comes out!

nah, its never too early to start planning christmas - lets face it, when you plan your summer holidays you do that months in advance; then its a free for all suntan lotion shopping in superdrug and boots
very few people book thier summer holidays at the last minute, so why should an equally as expensive time such as christmas be any different

I think its just a good excuse for the british public to moan

I have bought a few Christmas presents.. was in Target today and found a "stand" with a few Chrimble gifts on them...

Am now in negotiations with my sis in law for sending over some Christmas stockings from Asda (or other) so I can wrap them up for my expat mates here (made via this lovely site.. crawly crawly! haha!) for their Christmas pressie! English chocolate! mmmmmmmm! fab gift I reckon!?!
