    Big surprise, yet again for the hundredth year in succession people have ignored the retailers attempt to make people flock to the shops from October onwards.

    Look retailers, it's our festival not yours, and you are making a lovely tradition a nightmare with your out of season tunes, adverts, and general shite.

    Christmas for us starts about December 20th, it's a WEEK LONG FESTIVAL, so leave it out will you.

    I'd say the rush starts about the second week of December actually, and I should fucking know.

    I just wait until after the Christmas rush and buy stuff at deeply discounted

    rates. That way I avoid the long lines as well as higher prices.

    No, smart!

    I save allot and no waiting at all. All I tell people I send gifts to is

    that they were late because the store was temporarily out of stock and I

    had to wait until they came in.

    I've worked in retail in the USA for seven years and for us (in the Midwest, Southeast, Southwest-- places I've lived) in October, but doesn't get "hot" 'till the day after Thanksgiving (the end of November).

    You are now compounding your dreadful behaviour. Cheapskate and liar to friends and family. No wonder you can't sleep at night.
