Christmas Is Coming (Apparently)
Well, I’ve received my first Christmas catalogue.
I’m unwilling to accept even the arrival of the autumn, let alone winter. (Maybe it’s global warming…)
To be fair, the RNLI catalogue wasn’t purely Christmassy, but it does have ’snowy morning’ 1000-piece puzzles and mulled wine whisk sets.
Is it too early to even mention the ‘holiday season‘?
Or is there harm in it? Does it devalue ‘the meaning of Christmas’, making it more and more about materialism?
Are ‘Seasonal Products’ made available ahead of time for those who can’t afford it any other way? Or are those people simply lacking in will power, or the ability to simply save money?
UPDATE: I have since received the actual Christmas catalogue from the RNLI, nearly 3 month early!
