Let's Do Christmas Early This Year

I love Christmas, everything is a bit brighter and shiny and everyone just seems a little bit smilier so i am all for putting up the decorations earlier, we have spent this weekend untangling fairy lights, moving the furniture to fit in the tree and having the usual discussion on whether to use drawing pins or blu-tac.
We have gone Christmas a few weeks earlier than normal and i saw in the town center this weekend the huge tree being erected and council-men hovering precariously on ladders testing the lights strung across the precinct.
It seems that people across the nation are putting up their festive displays weeks earlier than usual to bring some much-needed Christmas cheer and our kitchen radio has been tuned to Christmas Radio for the past few weeks so i have already sung along to all the standards such as Slade, Shakin' Stevens, the Pogues and Wham.
I have yet to replace the Now That's What I Call The 80's CD with the Punk Rock Christmas one in my car which contains some of the greatest versions of Frosty the Snowman and Feliz Navidad ever and i plan to introduce via this blog in December along with some more Christmassy themed Special Guest Bloggers in collaboration with my neighbour who is a man of the cloth and can provide the stories and characters behind the Biblical Nativity for me to bastardise.
So it might still be 39 days away but grab a mince pie, a bottle of mulled wine and that dented plastic Father Christmas and let's start celebrating the most wonderful time of the year early, it's been a crap year so we deserve it.
