BBC News Online Magazine



Woolworths is starting its Christmas season a full three weeks earlier than last year, and the first festive displays have already begun to appear in shops. Summer's only just over and the two-month Christmas marathon has begun.
"So here it is merry Christmas, everybody's having fun."
