Christmas begins

As far as retailers are concerned, Christmas starts now. The local garden centre isn't the only place with Christmas things on display, but they always do a good show. I loved the display of a sleeping polar bear and about seven cubs; no movement but the bear was snoring! This was suspended from the ceiling, waving at everyone. I know it's all a bit naff, but hey; it's a bit of fun, so long as you don't get drawn in and spend loads of money.
