Kirsty Allsop's new show

Have you guys seen the advert for Kirsty Allsop's new programme on Channel 4? It's called 'Kirsties Homemade Christmas', described as a "Christmas crafts extravaganza".
I for one am sick of this woman ramping Christmas. Endlessly telling us lies and spin about how "Christmases can only go up" and how "Christmas doubles every seven years".
No doubt at least one episode of this series will show Mrs Allsop convincing a couple to take out a massive loan for 23,000 baubles that they never needed in the first place, lying to them that they'll make a great investment.
Apparently there is a section of the show where she convinces a city slicker and his rather horsey wife to invest in a second Christmas that they can use through the Summer. When will she realise that people buying up a second Christmas deprives other local people of ever celebrating Christmas? What about the first time worshippers who can only dream of getting a tree at current multiples?
This Christmas !!!!!! has got to stop. On the advert she is telling a couple to start celebrating Christmas in September, otherwise they'll miss the boat and never be able to worship the death and resurrection of Christ. She says that this is the best opportunity in generations for first time Christmasers to get on the festive ladder, but I think this is irresponsible.
I'll stick to Easter thank you very much. The Christmas bubble is about to burst, and eggnog junkies are going to get splattered with tinsel, you mark my words.
Christmas is theft. Santa is not wealth.

I think you'll find the resurrection took place at easter during the "spring bounce"."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -

I love Christmas, as for Krustie though, I'd sooner eat a yule log than watch anything with that bint in it.
Edit. Good bit of script there Cleaver, should get you another post in the thanking double digits, you whor*.:D0 -
In all seriousness I don't think shes that bad. She is most definately a product of her upbringing- harmless in intention right?
....although, I realise ignorance is no defence
