It is according to some retailers down in our capital anyways check this — > Christmas Shopping Arrives Early - this says it all really?  Has Capitalism totally lost the plot on the true meaning of Christmas?  I mean!  £329 for a single bauble for goodness sake!  This is totally unjustified and really peeves me off. 

Christmas is nothing but a commercial paradise for retailers in this day and age.  I’d rather be a scruge and not celebrate Christmas than continue to line the pockets of fat cat’s that persist in shamless profit from what is essentially a Christian Festival.

A simple hand made card from a Primary School art class, a simple poem with some thought put into it, has far more meaning at such a time as Christmas than the latests expensive baubles for a tree that ultimatley will end up in a new year bonfire, or shreaded to make compost. 

This is a sign of tradition gone Capitalist Crazy….and I abhore it.  Harrod’s should be ashamed - and so should anyone out there that owns a £329 bauble.
