Dizzy Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Apparenly Harrods started their Christmas Festivities today (earlier than usual) by opening their Christmas range to the public at 8.00am this morning. It's only the 28th July for goodness sake, kids have only just broken up for their summer holidays... most people haven't even had their summer holidays yet... and they expect people to start thinking about Xmas !!!! MADNESS... but then again I guess only those with massive amounts of money can shop in Harrods so they probably don't live in the real word anyway and everyday is fairy tinsel land to them. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/8668098/Its-July-so-time-for-Harrods-and-Selfridges-to-open-their-Christmas-shops.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Ugh - for me this is crass commercialism!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlady54 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I even hate it when the adverts for new school uniform appear in the papers and shops before the holidays have started. Forward planning is one thing but this is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Bit late weren't they. Daresbury hotel has been advertising for Christmas party bookings for the last two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry hayes Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Does sound peculiar but I'm sure Harrod's know their own business best. They've been at it long enough. Perhaps their Santa is Irish. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I guess you are right Harry and a lot of people do seem to shop early for xmas presents etc. Nothing wrong with that and many people buy gifts in the January Sales for the following Christmas so as to save money.. again nothing wrong with that but personally I just could not face going into a shop at this time of the year that is all done up all 'christmassy' (if there is such a word). I think I would walk straight out again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
