Got a half price tin of shortbread for my work colleagues from M&S the other week. My mum and Dad always have a tin of them in for Christmas, which I quite like, tbh.

Apparently Scream Eggs are back if anyone is interested in doing their chocolate holidays in order.

I saw christmas things in Morrisons whilst I was trying to find halloween themed french fancies. There were no halloween french fancies. NOT pleased. Not pleased AT ALL.

my first job out of uni was building playlists for background music at shops/hotels that sort of thing. We were working on the christmas stuff in July - had to listen to hours and hours of christmas music through the summer. Remember coming home a few times and not being able to sleep due to hallucinating christmas songs - this one in particular

if you like eating crab, octopus and roast chicken with chips at christmas, then it could be for you tbf. Plus, christmas day isn’t a thing there, which is jarring.

While I strongly believe it’s far too early for a christmas thread, it’s got me thinking about the christmas trip to the cheese shop.

“hands up, give me all your cheese!”

Boo-urns, brexit’s fucked us with this innit. I’m eyeing up the Mikkeller one but last year’s was 115 jib :confused:

Look how good last year’s was:

love my annual time-honoured panic trip to Borough market on christmas eve for gifts for everyone and food. got us three massive pork pies last year which lasted well into the new year.

remember during my dickhead years (18-21) smoking a doobie out the window early on christmas morning and the rest of the day being pretty hellish for trying to hide the fact that I was blazed.
