sorry, didnt mean to offend, just getting excited. im one of those idiots that loves christmas, all those parties, presents and hangovers.
I've seen houses that already have their decorations up. Yes, that does include external lights, thus forcing their jollity on the rest of us.
Shops filling the shelves with cards in September, I even saw a hotel that had a fully decorated tree in the lobby in June!
That's why it annoys people to hear about it early. I'll happily wish you seasons greetings at the appropriate time, which is actually months away since the Nazrene wasn't born in December anyway. Pagan celebrations are so much more fun & in keeping with this site, IMHO
I work in an office full of people like you 34fun!! I managed to strike a deal the other day though whereby I can put the decorations up on 1st December!!!

Ah, but this is only an excuse for you. A sprog on its 1st year will neither know what it's all about nor care. ANd why will a week or two weeks with a tree mean more to you or him than a month? Hasn't being involved in this scene taught you that quality counts over quality every time? (Those of you about to jump in & shout about having both, don't bother ; it did cross my mind, but you can get bored of anything)
All you're doing is indoctrinating the poor wee sod into the commercialisation and over-exploitation of the event. In future years when he knows what's going on you'll truly hate it, too. Wait until he starts demanding his presents in the middle of October & won't stop goingon about it because the shops and the supermarkets and the saddos with their trees up in August keep reminding him about it. And telling him he'll get whatever he wants just by asking.
as for those of you who insist on bringing this forced jollity into the workplace early, it's no way to win people over to your pointof view. Rather it will make them hate it even more because it's being forced on them.
