LOL... we've had Christmas crap in stores since August,
allegedly for "posting to overseas family and friends".

Of course it is;  it has nothing at all to do with crass commercialism.

Supermarkets are now selling plastic Xmas trees, plum puddings
and mince pies, Xmas cards and gift wrapping, and blow-up Santas,
reindeer and snowmen.

Seriously?  Tell me you meant eight.     Panic

No.  80 kids came.  Parents bring their kids to our neighborhood every year.  We had almost 200 hundred one year but that was several years before the pandemic drastically cut the numbers down.  The whole neighborhood decorates and, it seems, we give good candy!  We’ve had kids in line to take their turn at our door and we’ve stood there for well over half an hour just giving out candy.  They start at about 4pm and lasts until around 9pm.  It’s so fun!

Snowmen, deliciously melting away with lemon syrup and raspberry syrup ---- edible men! What marketing genius! I'll take two, please!
