But I've seen catalogues for various things (worst culprits are the
holiday
companies) for Xmas this year already.

Holiday accommodation is booked by the companies well in advance. This year
is cut and dried for reunions for ex service people and Associations. I am
now looking to 2009, 2008 being pretty well sewn up. Working in conjunction
of a Group Travel Agent who does all the booking arrangements, I have 17
reunions organised. One of these is for the Battle of Britain Remembrance
Service at Westminster Abbey where I have two hotels available, the other
the November 11th Service at the Cenotaph where again I have two hotels
available and where there is doubt about which weekend for June 2008, I have
a total hotel booked for two weekends. I know that if one is taken by
Association "A", the other will be taken by Association "B". I have just
started an information mail posting for a weekend in February next year.

So sorry if the thought of Christmas 2007 frightens you, (it doesn't me
because I will be on Cunard's new Queen Victoria with my family), but some
of us are well beyond that :-((
