I’ve been holding back on officially declaring the start of Christmas. People have different views on when Christmas begins, some say it’s when they hear the music in the shop, some when it gets freezing cold, some miserable buggers will whinge about anyone who mentions Christmas more than a week before the event.
I, however, have a different criterion. The festive period begins once I see the Hellman’s mayonaise advert that goes to the tune of 12 days of Christmas. I saw that advert on Saturday. So let the festivities commence!!

Good on Hellman’s for waiting till a respectable time of the year before commencing their Christmas ad campaign. There can’t be many household brands that you could reliably set your seasonal calendar by.

No! It’s blatantly when the Coca-Cola advert comes on TV, I haven’t seen it yet so baah humbug!
On three now…holidays are coming, holidays are coming, holidays are coming…

Mine’s the Coca-Cola advert too! I saw it about 2 weeks ago and sang along. My mum always phones me to tell me when she’s seen it.
Holidays are coming…holidays are coming, holidays are coming!! TIS THE SEASON!!!
