That being said, Christmas is on crack this year. And, the John Lewis advert aside, it is starting to do even my Father Christmas behatted nut in. I must state that it isn't just Christmas, Hallowe'en seemed to be extraordinarily excessive this year round.
Perchance I'm getting old and jaded and, if this is the case, it is in part due to the outrageous amount of absolute tat which I've stumbled across while trawling the web for Christmas presents for my nearest and dearest.
Like these catchily named "Handerpants". The main selling point of these seems to be that you can pretend "your fingers are hunky Calvin Klein models". But why? Couldn't you just do that anyway? And another thing, although I can see that there is a lol to have here, surely it isn't £12.99's worth of a lol?
The Handerpants are nothing, however, in comparison with this next item. "Baconnaise". I'm curling my lip just typing that word. I love bacon, right. And I love mayonnaise. Regardless, I have never EVER felt the urge to put mayonnaise on a bacon butty though.
These were just in the Gifts for Men section however... the Gifts for Women sections held even more horrors...
A giant gummi bear. Yes, I'm sure every girl wants 6120 calories of sticky gelatinous bear. While we're on the food theme, what about canned unicorn meat?
All of this pales in comparison to my last item to have a moan about. Yes, I'm sure you guessed it by now. It's a microwavable Bagpuss. IS THIS REALLY THE IMAGE YOU WANT TO SYMBOLISE YOUR CHRISTMAS??!?!!?

Anyhoo, I believe that's all the moaning that one person can actually do about a topic they really love.
