I overheard one checkout operator ask another one "How many weeks is it to christmas?" I couldn't resist turning round and saying "Don't start that game already!"
Xmas puds and mince pies already on sale in our local smaller Sainsburys. Been on the shelf for about a week.
It's 3 weeks since |I received my first Christmas catalogue in the post/
I bet the mince pies aren't dated to last until the main event.

It'll mutate before Xmas.
For TV films Great! Classic is changing to Great! Christmas next Thursday.
A few years they had some German-made stollens that were "best before

Which strain of flu is it supposed to protect you from though ?. There hasn't been any flu down under so you might have been given a placebo :-)
To the next lock down and multiple U-turns ?
Never heard of it before, now showing a real classic - To Sir, with Love.
