Christmas before Remembrance Day? Yay or Nay?

Okay so this is something that I have always beenĀ  firm believer on – but it appears as though I might not be in the majority. So I’m turning it to you – what do you think?!

The controversy of Christmas before Remembrance Day - The Aquinian

So this is how I was reminded. Well, I was reminded twice. Once while speaking with my parents. The other time was when I was out with a friend and we dropped into Winners – the shop that Ms. Pucci and Ms. Delorme love, as well as me of course! Back to the story – so I was browsing around and what do I see? Christmas decor! You name it – wreathes, nutcrackers, snow globes, etc. Shoppers were definitely purchasing Christmas items but I was slightly upset thinking that we should pay tribute to Remembrance Day first, and then start Christmas shopping.
