‘My tree isn’t up yet so nobody’s should be’ claims local grumpy bastard

A local grumpy bastard has claimed that nobody should have their Christmas tree up yet because he doesn’t have his up. Paddy Galvin said it’s just too early and he cannot stand seeing trees up in his neighbours’ houses already.

“It drives me mad!” Paddy told us. “Some people seem to think they can do whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes. Well they can’t! Putting your Christmas tree up this early should be illegal.”

So when does Paddy usually put his tree up?

“Christmas Eve is plenty of time. I get a real tree every year and if you wait ’til after dark those gobshites selling them outside the shopping centre will give you one for free.”

Paddy said another thing that drives him mad is hearing Christmas music in shops before it’s Christmas.

“I warned my local newsagent way back in August if he started playing Christmas songs too early this year I’d stop coming into his shop and he’d never see me again. He started playing them the next day. In the middle of August. Prick!”
