Lack Of Christmas Joy

[catswhiskas]

Has anybody noticed the lack of Christmassy programmes this week,? usually programmes like Dine in for Two, Eggheads, they have a few celebs on , nothing this year, Dine in for two next week are all repeats. Just watching Christmas Kitchen when will they ever have a recipe on that you might fancy trying, and all his 'guests', seem to be chefs I have never heard of , plugging their own restaurants, the BBC especially , seem to have run out of money and ideas.

Perhaps most TV channels have already run out of Christmas programmes? After all, as I posted on another thread, Channel 5's afternoon line-up on THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER was this:
1.50pm Film: A Christmas Visitor
3.35pm Film: A Carol Christmas
5.15pm Film: The Town Christmas Forgot

45 days further on, there can't be many 'Christmassy' programmes left for them to show, can there?

Christmas does not even START for another 9 days! This is still Advent!

Christmas programmes, those days are gone, after all we can not upset those "certain minorities".

All the minorities round here do Christmas like a goodun.

As far as I am aware Eid-al-Adha and Diwali were both celebrated in October, so I don't think any one is tbh.
