Countdown to Christmas has begun!!

I walked into Sainsburys today with a friend (we were buying ingredients for the BEST CURRY EVER... but that's a different story for a different day) and we quickly realised that the build up to Christmas is getting earlier and earlier each year! The aisles were filled with festive treats... candy canes, cadbury chocolate tree decorations, selection boxes and mince pies.

The truth is everybody loves Christmas, it doesn't matter how old you get!

But the thing that struck me as odd is that whilst investigating the mince pies I found that the sell date was for November... a whole month before Christmas. This may be forgiven if it wasn't for the fact that the box even had a picture of Father Christmas on it! I read in The Sun today that Tesco is selling boxes of them that are sell by October.

The holiday season is taking oveeer!!
