It's still October...
This picture was taken in the Arndale Shopping Centre in Manchester on Saturday October 25, 2008. That's exactly two months before Christmas. Traditionally I always thought that cribs such as this one are set up minus the baby, and that the wise men only followed in early January. Obviously things have changed. It's a little bit unsettling when you walk down an aisle in Sainsbury's and you can see Hallowe'en decorations opposite Christmas wrapping paper, but I guess in rocky financial times such as this "holidays" need to be milked for all they are worth. But that's another question altogether...

A crib that one could argue disrespects the true meaning of Christmas erected in the centre of commercialism in Manchester. Now there's some irony.
Suprising that the PC brigade haven't been up in arms over this but they don't really cater to the majority now do they.
Do people know the true meaning of Christmas anymore? I spotted Christmas cards on sale at the end of August! So the saying "Christmas comes but once a year" is technically not true anymore
