Hi

Having got Bonfire Night out of the way, it's now the first day of the extended Christmas season, at least according to my childhood calendar.

Now that you can't do "penny for the guy" it's time to make a little money by singing Christmas Carols (though it might take a week or two before you've got the words good enough and also before it's acceptable to grown ups).

Happy carolling!

Don't forget December 6th, St Nicholas Day, when the Dutch kids woke up to find candy in their shoes.

Surely the first day of Christmas is as soon as Easter Eggs sre out of the shops.

No - there are no other "marketing opportunities" between bonfire night and Xmas. Once that's out of the way we then have the Valentines day marketing opportunity, then the Mother's Day marketing opportunity etc. etc.
