No, it's the Christmas season because Santa was on my can of diet coke this morning
and I will brook no arguments.

"Santa"?
Oh, thumbs down.

Shut it, Surrey boy.
Santa Claus comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas, which is a contraction of Saint Nicholas. I didn't even have to look that up.
Besides which, Coca Cola is an American company and Santa Claus is what's portrayed on the side of their can.

Also a Coca-Cola thing, from the 30s I believe

I might not have known anything different
but it was green for hundreds of years. It all seems so cheap.

Oh stop grouching
I thought you liked Christmas?

I do, I really enjoy it.
There are aspects of the surrounding relentless gold-rush that I'm not a fan of.

Yes, but since I don't have a tv and I rarely go in to town
I can fairly easily ignore all of the relentless consumerist bollocks until i'm ready for it.
That said, i'm off to the christmas market on thursday when it opens despite it only being mid-november..
