Signs of Christmas 2016

[Moley]

In the Christmas and New Year TV guide I've spotted adverts inviting you to save for next year's Christmas hamper, as well as trips to Lapland to see Father Christmas in 2016.

[Moley]

Showing today, Whitsun Bank Holiday in the UK, on More4 at 11.00, the classic 1954 Bing Crosby White Christmas.

[ornamentmaven]

Love that film, Moley. I watched The Family Stone on TV yesterday. My husband started to yell at me for watching one of my Christmas DVDs until I let him know - this is on network TV!!!

[SilverBells]

The other day, I saw Michael Buble's Christmas show, scheduled at 6am on cable tv:singing:

[Moley]

The first of these sort of adverts have been appearing in the magazines.

I've noticed over the years that The Bradford Exchange is always the first to advertise! Their stuff is beautiful

[Moley]

Yay! Another Bradford Exchange advert! And a one I've not seen before.

Also it was reported in the D***y M**l (I detest that execrable fascist rag) that the Waitrose supermarket was selling Christmas mincemeat and mulled wine in its' stores in June!

When every other commercial on the Hallmark channel is CHRISTMAS KEEPSAKE HOLIDAY PREVIEW starting July 8 :)

[JollyElfDC]

I was in World market today, and they had Terry's Chocolate Oranges. It's possible they carry them year round, but I never noticed.
They were also putting out Halloween/Day of the Dead things at Pier One today. I realize that isn't Christmas, but as you all know, by the time Halloween rolls around, the stores have definitely moved on to Christmas!

[wstaple]

My wife said she was in Hobby Lobby on Friday and they had out almost all of their Christmas stuff!

[Moley]

QVC -UK had but a single day of Christmas In July .

[Moley]

Another Bradford print advert.

I expect to start seeing things here soon Now that Back-to-school is over, Haloween stuff will be out full force, and some Christmas stuff will start appearing

Been to Hallmark twice in the past week and they have alot of Christmas items for sale - in addition to their ornaments, I saw other decorations, cards and some wrap

Been watching QVC's Countdown to Christmas this whole weekend!

[wstaple]

Two things over the weekend:

Wal Mart had their trees up and was starting to get their decorations out.

My grandson's stocking for our house came on Friday. No, he's not here yet officially, but he'll be here in about 3 weeks!
