Sir, – I believe it’s far too early for the Christmas tinsel. I think we have got ourselves into this spiral where the big corporations are doing it because they want us all to panic about the fact that we don’t have our Christmas presents bought. It’s over six weeks to Christmas and it’s being sold to us by the many big businesses that we frequent.
Small businesses then have to follow suit because they need those customers too.
Can we not just restrain ourselves until December?
I am not a grinch.

I say this out of an absolute adoration of Christmas, but I don’t want to be sick of it by the time Christmas rolls round. – Yours‚ etc,
