Yea, what I'm really saying is that I hate this time of year.

Its like the main department stores are on the starting blocks waiting to empty our pockets.

I mean, I love christmas. I love the whole Christmas thing, but when it starts in November its a royal pain in the arse.

I was up at 4.30am this morning to drop someone to the airport and I can't believe how warm it is for 1st November. I was in a T-shirt.

We got our summer in March and April, Early winter during the summer, a touch of Mid-Winter in September, and now in November, its...Spring? Weird.

November the first is a bit to early, it leads to an anti-climax at the big day.

I am all for people being organised with shopping and stuff, but the displays up already is a bit much.

Does anyone else notice that a lot of shops and stores this year are looking for seasonal staff? More than usual

Now there's a thought!.

I might head home (finishing off a night shift), stay in the combats. Dusty off the gun and introduce the new dog (Jericho) to the delights of a mornings shoot.

Although funny enough, the older I get the less inclined I am to kill (animals at least ).

On November 1st I feel like we've turned a corner and the year starts to wind down, anyone else feel the same?.

You should seek professional help if the sight of a Christmas tree nearly makes you cry.

These ones just walk along the side of the road.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

I saw a guy who dressed up as Santa Claus for Halloween yesterday.

There was another fella beside him dressed like (I guess?) Jesus but I didn't see the connection. Jesus isn't really a Christmas event.

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells

Santa is Jesus's grandfather.

I absolutely love Christmas but when the festivities start now, the whole thing is dead by Christmas Day. Such a shame. It really takes the fun out of it.
