No, no, a thousand times no!

What's the date? Oh yeah, July 19th. Ok, I know the weather outside is frightful... but it is STILL not time for Christmas. And yet there was Selfridges in the news today unveiling its Christmas display -- 'Bejeweled' or some such thing. Why? Well, the spokewoman says it's because magazine deadlines are so far in advance. Uh huh. That's what photo shoots are for... the publicity of being in the news for the first Christmas announcement had nothing to do with it I'm sure...
