Tickets, Money, Passport?

Last Saturday, exactly 3 months prior to Christmas, I saw my first Christmas decorations. Now I mention this only because if I saw them, then a whole raft of lazy journos/letters to the editor contributors will have also and you must prepare yourselves for articles decrying the commercialisation of Christmas and the like. This will be coupled with a dialogue in the Metro (predominately) of people writing in of their early Christmas spots.

Oh god I've just done it haven't I? I'm as bad as they are. And I wasn't even complaining about it. It was just an observation.
