Christmas is a difficult time for many people. I could cope with it more easily if it didn't start so early. It spoils - no actually it overwhelms the Autumn. Instead of savouring the gradual change of season, enjoying Guy Fawks, then at the beginning of December starting thinking Christmas! Forget that - it has started already!
Actually on the Emma Bridgewater Facebook page they have been planning and practising their Christmas displays since about JULY. It drives me mad! This year we haven't had the Mince Pie Plate debacle of last year. No EB has learnt her lesson - all is calm and organised and I have just received mine. -
EB asks everyone who orders online to submit a review and gives a monthly prize. I was lucky enough to win one with my Jubilee mug and it helps if you send picture. So here I go falling into the Christmas trap but not for long. This cute little mince pie plate will be packed away until the 25th when it will hold my breakfast toast!

I know what you mean! To walk down a supermarket isle with Halloween on one side and Christmas on the other is just WRONG!!
Love the plate. Some shops here started in Septmember putting out christmas cards etc. I refuse to be drawn into it before November at least.
Lovely EB display. I am in NZ at present and have not seen one piece here ever (fifth trip. Bad marketing?)
