SPOldham's bio
I am happily married with two grown up sons. I live in the Sirhowy Valley in South Wales. For health reasons I am no longer able to work. I am an independent author of dark, supernatural and horror fiction and under the pseudonym Lillian White I also write romance with an historical flavour. Unfortunately, my writing doesn't come close to earning me a living! But it is something I enjoy. I also enjoy taking photographs of nature, reading, swimming when I am able, being with my Cocker Spaniel Milo, family and friends. -

Is July too soon for shops to be stocking Christmas products?Christmas starts way too early in my opinion. It robs the occasion of all the specialness, if that is a word. I admit that I buy Christmas presents all year round, stashing them away for the big day. It is a great way to spread the cost and a nice thing to do if you spot something that you know someone would just love! But yuletide displays, Christmas goods and, Gods help us, endless Christmas music starting in July is way too early and is, as far as I am concerned, borne out of simple greed. The businesses want your money and they will exploit the supposed season of goodwill to the limit in order to get it. There again, we the public are in part to blame, I suppose. I bet there are people out there buying up all the Christmas goodies as I write this. I know there are some people who put their trees up before Halloween, and some who never bother to even take them down. A shame, I think.ViewDate:
