Well yes, apparently so. In the world of retail, as I was informed today, Christmas is upon us. While chatting with my manager this afternoon about preparations for the 'Christmas season', I enquired when this started. 'Now!' I was told. Hmm. Straight after the summer sales then. Obviously.
Anyway, during this chat, he was going through his plans for the next three months or so, which seemed to revolve around a large folder we'd been sent, with all the details of promotions/sales targets and other, um, fascinating information. Anyway, he was proudly showing me this folder, and explaining how this contained everything we needed to know, and we could all look at it any time we want to (aren't we lucky?!). In an attempt to prove his point, he then turned to me and said 'This is the bible of Christmas.' I had to stop myself from laughing.
And here was I thinking the bible had one or two other things to say about this time of year...
