Have you seen Christmas lights in your street yet? I understand councils having to get a head start on Christmas decorations, given the amount of ground they need to cover but what in the Mariah Carey are people thinking?! IT’S STILL NOVEMBER.
In all seriousness you can probably tell I’m a firm believer in not setting up before December 1st. And to be fair I’m slightly a Christmas grinch but that’s a story for another time. Regardless of the reasoning – it’s bad luck or tacky which are a few I’ve heard in the past - I just feel it’s too soon to be that festive! The Christmas break is still so far away.
This really is the debate every year much like when the hot cross buns hit shelves in February.
One way I consider acceptable to celebrate Christmas in November is with Star 101.9’s Santa’s Storage Shed! One person in Mackay and the Whitsundays is going to win over 20k worth of prizes by spending $10 or more in selected stores. If you’d like to get in the running for this one head over to our station website www.star1019.com.au
And don’t forget Star 101.9’s Carols in the Gardens are on at the much more appropriate time of Saturday, December 3rd at the Meadowlands Amphitheatre - Mackay Botanic Gardens. Gates open 5:30pm, for 6:30pm start so you can embrace your inner Buddy the Elf without any judgement from more grinchy people whatsoever.
