Pssh... our local tat-bazare Chaplins had Christmas stuffs in once the Summer Sales were dealt with...so your talking August.

I still to this day cant understand why the town lights go up in November... seriously.

In Leeds City Centre outside the Town Hall each year without fail there's a MASSIVE board saying "Happy Hanukah" which I believe is the Jewish version of Christmas.

Yet the lights are now 'Winter Lights' and there seems to be nothing Christian about them.

I aren't religious myself but surely Christmas is a traditionally British and Christian festival (hence the name!) and the majority of people celebrate Christmas not 'Winterval' so why change it? It's not even as though minority groups (well, not many anyway) are saying they want Christmas banned.
