It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - and I, for one, am not happy about it. I saw a tree going up in Sydney and here in Brisbane stores are already playing carols and flogging gift ideas. There's the best part of six weeks to go before Christmas Day, which means almost an eight of the year has been taken up with this commercialised craziness. Just give me the peace and goodwill, and hold all the trimmings.
