Christmas Comes Early For Marks And Spencer

I poppped into The Pantheon branch of Marks and Spencer today to get some breakfast and noticed they've already started putting up their Christmas displays.

It's only the 9th of September, that's only 107 days left 'til Christmas!

perl -MDate::Calc -e "print Date::Calc::Delta_Days('2003','09','09','2003','12','25')" for those interested in the Perl code.

Somehow, it kind of takes the magic out of Christmas when it's in your face for so long. At least they haven't started playing any Christmas carols yet.
