Shop Early For Christmas

On my amble through the curiosities made available from the various charity shops, looking for unconsidered trifles and treasure, I did notice that lots of space had been put over to the Christmas card. As its only early September I am a bit surprised by this, but on questioning one of the shop workers I was informed that this was quite normal and some shops have Christmas cards in august. I do understand that spreading the cost of the Christmas extravaganza across a longer period  is a good idea, so being able to buy Easter eggs from the 5th November seems like a good thing too.

So I started to think about how cheap can you get a Christmas dinner. After a bit of research on the Net, I found Crimbo dinner in a box for £1.49. According to the review it did not seem very nice, but then what would you expect for that price. Oh! and it still took fifty minutes to cook from frozen. I think up marketing the whole experience with the monster nugget bag and plastic holly is the way to go.

But this experience has reminded me to make a list for the Christmas cake and pudding ingredients, a process that I do enjoy and all that tradition of making a wish while stirring the mix.
