Merry Christmas?

I think I had better check my calendar as I worry that I have been in a coma for 2 months and it is actually December! I went through Saltford this evening, and passed the village's local Post Office. I was more than a little surprised to see the whole of the front window covered in Christmas decorations! Tinsel, lights, baubles - the whole lot!

It was absolute madness. I could understand to a degree if BHS put up a tree in their seasonal section; after all many people do start their Crimbo shopping in October, but in a Post Office! The only reason I can possibly think of is that due to the threat of further postal strikes, the only way to guarantee a Christmas delivery, is to post your letters and parcels by the end of the month.
