That milestone was reached a few weeks ago here ...
Storm whatever might re-arrange them this afternoon. :-)
Come the nationwide lock-down in a few days time and you will not be allowed to buy any non-essential items such as Christmas decorations. A policy that has worked well in Wales to ensure that shops that can remain open are no longer viable and shops forced to close will go to the wall as everyone will now buy on-line.
speshy with xmas being cancelled and all
No, lots of Christmas cheer about, and I think its great. This year is going to be different, so why not You have till Thursday to do your Christmas. Anyone want a discount Turkey?
Have you not noticed the Christmas channels on the telly in the last few weeks? Brian
They're all on a diet ...
24th of September is when Sony Movies Classic changed to Sony Movies Christmas.

At one time, I used to travel to a Muslim country for Christmas. Since that has become a bit dodgy, a strongly Catholic one is the next best choice: They treat it as a religious festival, not as an excuse for excess. This year, I am going to have to stay in the UK for the first time in about half a century.
That is so sad. The country will be all the worse in that case. Why can you not trust the Muslims to keep you safe? They are a peace loving religion.
Agreed. All Colin has to do is keep his head and he'll be all right.
Because, at present, most of the world's significant civil wars are in Muslim countries. Even those that are not in outright conflict have a lot of civil unrest.
So is Christianity. That doesn't mean that I would want to get caught in between, for example, the French CRS and a load of protesters.
Oh. So this country isn't as bad as you made out then.
No. But I do not have a TV.
The country is great - most of the time. Christmas time, with its endless commercialism, inescapable jingles and carols and an expectation that everybody is supposed to enjoy it is an exception.
I saw a comment somewhere that people could hold a funeral and the cremation for the turkey on dec 25th at their house and legally have 30 guests.
Sweden ?. Don't they do their celebration on Christmas eve ?. And no restrictive lockdown either.
If you saw these decorations in the Leicester area, it might be for Diwali (Nov 14th).
Boris has really annoyed the Hindus with Lockdown2 !
There's been portable signage saying all the Diwali (public) celebrations are cancelled for several weeks, there's only a tiny few lights on the Golden Mile compared to normal, the ferris wheel is there, but will presumably close on thursday?

They aren't as densely populated as the UK - and probbaly a bit more sensible about shielding
