I was thinking today how we, as a group of 3 related families living next door to each other, should delay Christmas next year by a week. There are fantastic bargains to be had in the shops at present, and Hay getting some exceptionally good bargains on Christmas cards, turkey crowns and sides of salmon is what started me off on this train of thought.
Perhaps we should all start a popular movement to spread Christmas over a month with people celebrating Christmas when it suits them, rather than on the 25th of December. Shops wouldn't become crowded, prices would in all likelihood be lower for everything, the roads wouldn't be a nightmare (excellent news for Chris Rea) and it would be a more enjoyable experience all round. The purists could stick to the traditional dates and the rest of us could have it anywhere from December 15th to January 15th.
