Christmas comes early in our house

For years we've all heard the saying "Christmas seems to come earlier each year".  you don't know how actually true that is for us.

We start buying products for Bill and Betty in January.  Going to the trade fairs in January is like being in Santa's grotto but on speed.  Just as we've packed up our own decorations and put them away for the following year "Betty" my wife is already starting to talk about the Trade show ready to buy stock for the business.  Then it comes,   Up at the crack of dawn on a cold Jan morning and making the drive to the trade show.  I remember the first time we went and to use that youth full word "OMG" I've never seen so many singing Santa's.  Its at the point in the year when you want to forget about Christmas pay the credit cards and start looking forward to spring and we find ourselves still knee deep in Ding Dong Merrily on High.

Betty is like a kid in a sweetie shop,  Note pad and pen in hand shes off - big smile on her face singing Christmas songs with me in tow.  Couple of hours into this buying spree I'm normally onto my 3rd Costa coffee and starting to give that snowman that bursts into song every time I walk past it the evil eye.  Betty is just getting into her stride still singing and buying up stock.   

Moving into September this stock starts to come in Betty is back in her element photographing, stock taking and getting ready to put on the website.  Shes always so excited when a new order gets delivered that she nearly invites the whole family round to open it and look at its inside delights.  And there it is .   "The singing snowman"   its September I sob and go back to giving him the evil eye 3 months early.

This brings me to today.  Betty is putting a Christmas tree up at home to hang some decorations on it to photograph them and organise some collections which we have pre-orders for.   The kids are going to be in for a right shock when they get home for school all the while we in the middle of late heat wave.

I have to admit that the Christmas decorations that we are selling this year are outstanding and do look fantastic again Betty has done an outstanding job buying this year.

So when people say Christmas seems to come earlier each year spare a thought for "Bill" who is currently sat in a pair of shorts in 25 degree heat while the sun is cracking pavement watching Betty put up a Christmas tree in September..   

BUY EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS , hope you enjoy this years collection and be sure to keep checking back as more stock comes in
