Prematurity

[desperance]

The letters page of "The [London] Times" is the traditional place to record hearing the first cuckoo of spring; I think LJ is the obvious place to record sighting the first Christmas-branded object.

My local supermarket has Xmas stockings out, in mid-August.

They're for cats.

He's not getting one. However much he yowls and looks cute. Not now, not later. Not in December. Never.

Reminds me of someone I used to work with who was looking after her neighbour's cat over Christmas one year. She went round on Christmas day to feed the cat and discovered that he hadn't been left anything special for Christmas dinner, so she went back to her house, got some of the prawns that she'd bought for her own cat's treat dinner and shared them with the neighbour kitty.

I'm not sure that either cat would really care either way, but it made her happy.

(And yes, I saw some 'book now for Christmas' signs on restaurants in Nottingham yesterday.)
