The Run Up To Christmas

So it starts, the countdown to the festive season. Yesterday the 16 celebrities were introduced to their dancing professional partners for what apparently is the 10th series of Strictly Come Dancing. Through the coming weeks the dancers will train, do their stuff on a Saturday night and be whittled down until the final few.

This competition will take place every weekend until just before Christmas, therefore the clock has started...

In the shops there is evidence of Christmas. In the homeware stores the garden furniture and equipment has been packed away and the beginnings of Christmas decorations can be found. In the supermarkets you can now buy those tins of biscuits that people only buy for the festive period. Christmas puddings are also available in the seasonal aisles.

It won't be long until those seasonal shops appear on the high streets in the vacant high street retail spaces and calendar stalls in the middle of shopping malls.

So with each passing week of Sir Bruce's appearance on the television the nights will grow longer, the days shorter, the weather colder and Christmas closer.

But it is still September, no need to buy those cards yet.
