Christmas comes early
for shoppers in Oxford Street...
Quote:
One of the country's top stores is to start its Christmas trading 145 days before the holiday.
Selfridges in Oxford Street will launch its Christmas season on 2 August - its earliest-ever start for the store.
People keen to plan ahead can purchase trees, crackers, fairy lights or even a £500 life-size donkey.
|
They might as well leave the stuff out 365 days a year

Re: Christmas comes early
Maybe it's a ploy to phase Christmas out. we get that bored with it, and it's there all year through. that we just do away with it.

Re: Christmas comes early
Isn't a life size donkey, not just a donkey? Or do they mean a life size toy donkey?

I suppose it depends on how much attention to detail they made. and they didn't miss anything out.
