The grumbles about Christmas arriving ridiculously early with TV adverts for big High Street names being screened and cards, tinsle, baubles and trees being on sale almost two months before December 25th are getting louder. Comedian Dawn French launched the first of a six-part M&S Xmas food campaign on November 4th. The company's festive fashion and home advert first went out on November 7th. A week later the John Lewis Christmas advert, titled The Gifting Hour - a two-minute story about a woman searching for the perfect Christmas gift for her sister was aired. Now, in the middle of Twixmas the country's supermarket giants have eclipsed that - by stocking their shelves with Easter eggs. With Easter Sunday falling on April 20 next year, customers have shared their confusion on social media after finding chocolate eggs and hot cross buns already for sale in shops including Morrisons, Tesco and Asda . One user, @Jingle1991, shared an image of Malteser Bunnies in Sainsbury’s on Christmas Eve and pointed out: “Jesus hasn’t even been born yet.” Easter Eggs on the shelves in Morrisons this weekend in Chippenham (Image: Mike Chalmers PA) Meanwhile, Gary Evans from Margate shared a shot of Creme Eggs on display in Morrisons in Margate on Boxing Day. “I just think its crazy that everything is so superficial and meaninglessly commercial... (there’s) something quite frantic about it,” the 66-year-old told the PA news agency. Joseph Robinson found Easter confectionary including Cadbury Mini Eggs, and themed Kit-Kat and Kinder Surprise products at his local Morrisons in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday evening. “It’s funny, as they’ve not even managed to shift the Christmas chocolates off the shelves yet and they’re already stocking for Easter,” the 35-year-old admin support worker told PA. “I wish that Supermarkets weren’t so blatantly consumerist-driven and would actually allow customers and staff a time to decompress during the Christmas period.” Asked if he was tempted to make a purchase, Mr Robinson added: “As a vegan it holds no appeal to me!” Mike Chalmers, a devout Christian from Chippenham, Wiltshire, was slightly less critical after spotting a display entitled: “Celebrate this Easter with Cadbury.” “Christmas and Easter are the two centrepoints of the Christian good news story so it’s no bad thing to see the connections,” the 44-year-old said. "It’s about more than shapes of chocolate though!” One person's reaction to Easter eggs appearing on supermarket shelves. Marketing consultant Andrew Wallis admitted he was surprised to see Easter eggs in the Co-op in Kilgetty, Pembrokeshire, but added it also illustrates “forward-thinking” from big businesses. “It made me reflect on how big brands are always thinking ahead and planning early,” the 54-year-old from the Isle of Man, who provides marketing advice to the fitness industry, told PA. "My message to retailers would be: while planning ahead is important, it’s also essential to be mindful of consumer sentiment. “Some might feel it’s too early for seasonal products like this but others might see it as a sign of forward-thinking. Striking the right balance is key to keeping customers happy.”JPMorgan Chase & Co. lifted its position in shares of Vanguard Emerging Markets Government Bond ETF ( NASDAQ:VWOB – Free Report ) by 9.2% during the third quarter, according to its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

UCF coach Gus Malzahn reportedly resigning to take Florida State OC jobOlivia Hussey, the actor who starred as a teenage Juliet in the 1968 film “Romeo and Juliet,” has died, her family said on social media Saturday. She was 73. Hussey died on Friday, “peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones,” a statement posted to her Instagram account said. Hussey was 15 when director Franco Zeffirelli cast her in his adaptation of the William Shakespeare tragedy after spotting her onstage in the play “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," which also starred Vanessa Redgrave. “Romeo and Juliet” won two Oscars and Hussey won a Golden Globe for best new actress for her part as Juliet, opposite British actor Leonard Whiting, who was 16 at the time. Decades later Hussey and Whiting brought a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures alleging sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud over nude scenes in the film. They alleged that they were initially told they would wear flesh-colored undergarments in a bedroom scene, but on the day of the shoot Zeffirelli told the pair they would wear only body makeup and that the camera would be positioned in a way that would not show nudity. They alleged they were filmed in the nude without their knowledge. The case was dismissed by a Los Angeles County judge in 2023, who found their depiction could not be considered child pornography and the pair filed their claim too late. Whiting was among those paying tribute to Hussey on Saturday. “Rest now my beautiful Juliet no injustices can hurt you now. And the world will remember your beauty inside and out forever," he wrote. Hussey was born on April 17, 1951, in Bueno Aires, Argentina, and moved to London as a child. She studied at the Italia Conti Academy drama school. She also starred as Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the 1977 television series “Jesus of Nazareth," as well as the 1978 adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “Death on the Nile" and horror movies “Black Christmas” and “Psycho IV: The Beginning.” She is survived by her husband, David Glen Eisley, her three children and a grandson.

Thanksgiving has just passed and Christmas and Hanukkah will begin on the same day. Have you bought or made presents under the tree if you are Christian, and will you give coins to your children if you are Jewish? Christians tell each other “Merry Christmas” and Jews say Happy Hanukkah. I am for all people who wish peace. I wonder if the cartoon character Grinch will steal Christmas or will people in the highest position in our government try to emulate the Grinch? Are Inslee, Ferguson and those leaders in the state Legislature responsible for what is happening to the drastic change to our government? Or are we responsible for at least the drastic change and why? Do we admit that 60% of the registered voters in our fair state failing to vote could be the biggest problem? If I were a betting man, (I rarely bet more than a thin dime, which is no longer made of silver), I’d bet that most of the problem is with the 60% who didn’t vote, an increasing problem because they believe their freedom is free. It isn’t. What, may you ask, is the former oldest independent candidate for governor Frank Dare complaining about? I’m complaining about the 60% of the registered voters who failed to post their ballot in time. They don’t believe that their vote will count. Or they find some other inane non-reason to not vote. Pressing on, reading the recent commentary by the honorable state Sen. John Braun, R-Centralia, brings up many problems I found as a counselor level two at Maple Lane School for 11 months. I was waiting for a better position with the Department of Social and Health Services in Olympia around 1975. Maple Lane had cottages where the boys and older teenage inmates were serving time from two to four years, depending on their offense. Of the 26 juvenile inmates, every crime was committed from repeat theft to robbery with a weapon to murder. Green Hill School was where the oldest, most unreliable, dangerous criminals were serving their time. Neither was a “school.” Green Hill had inmates in separate cells. They were there until they reached 18, then would be sent to prison. I bring that up, because Inslee and Ferguson had held their positions for 12 years, eight before 2019 when they decided to spend our hard earned taxes on their illegal aliens by declaring Washington a “sanctuary state” and the “Keep Washington Working” illegal laws. We as citizen voters in Washington state were not given the opportunity to review or vote on how to spend our taxes. In essence, they stole our money rather like the Grinch, but in reality it caused a huge budget problem. Fast forward to today. We’re still faced with the “overdraft” to be paid back with “interest.” Braun tried to reason with Inslee about where to put “his kids” but as usual Inslee has tried to weasel his way out of the mess. And Ferguson? Read the voter’s pamphlet. Frank Dare OlympiaIndia vs Australia 3rd Test Live Score: Bruised India aim for comeback at Gabba against inspired Aussies
MICRON Technology, the largest US maker of computer memory chips, tumbled in late trading after its revenue forecast missed projections by about US$1 billion, hurt by sluggish demand for smartphones and personal computers (PC). Sales will be roughly US$7.9 billion in the fiscal second quarter, which runs to February, the company said on Wednesday (Dec 18). That compares with an average analyst estimate of US$8.99 billion. Profit will be no more than US$1.53 a share, minus certain items, well short of the US$1.92 projection. Though Micron is seeing strong orders for components used in artificial intelligence (AI) computing, it still faces lacklustre demand from makers of phones and PCs – two markets that consume the majority of its chip volume. Micron shares, up 22 per cent this year to Wednesday’s close, tumbled 11 per cent in extended trading following the announcement. “While consumer-oriented markets are weaker in the near term, we anticipate a return to growth in the second half of our fiscal year,” chief executive officer Sanjay Mehrotra said. In the fiscal first quarter, which ended Nov 28, sales rose 84 per cent to US$8.71 billion. Excluding certain items, the profit was US$1.79 per share. Analysts had predicted sales of US$8.71 billion and profit of US$1.76 on average. The company said that data centre-related revenue grew 400 per cent in the quarter from a year earlier. That unit now accounts for more than half of the company’s total sales. Still, the surge was not enough to offset weak orders from makers of devices aimed at consumers, Micron said. In that area, customers have been working through a backlog of inventory. “We are now seeing a more pronounced impact of customer inventory reductions,” Micron said. “We expect this adjustment period to be relatively brief and anticipate customer inventories reaching healthier levels by spring.” The company predicts that the PC market will grow around 5 per cent in 2025, with most of the expansion coming in the second half. It commented that owners of the devices are updating them more slowly than anticipated. Micron said that its mobile business unit suffered a 19 per cent sequential decline, brought on by the inventory reductions. Automotive and industrial sales also fell. For fiscal 2025, the chipmaker is budgeting spending on new plants and equipment of US$14 billion. That amount includes a reduction in its planned outlay on new production for storage chips. Memory chip makers, long accustomed to a boom-and-bust industry, are hoping for sustained demand for a new type of product called high-bandwidth memory. That technology is highly prized by makers of AI computing systems, letting Micron and other memory companies command higher prices, though it is complex to produce and deploy. Other types of memory are still subject to large swings in price depending on the balance of supply and demand. But the three main memory companies – Micron and South Korean rivals SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics – have been more disciplined in adding new production. That means problems with inventory gluts will not be as painful as in the past, Micron has said. As recently as 2023, the company was reporting billions of US dollars of net losses when prices slumped below the cost of production. Micron makes dynamic random access memory, or Dram, a type of chip that temporarily holds information and works alongside processors from Nvidia, Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. It also make Nand flash memory – semiconductors that store information in everything from data-centre computers to smartphones.

President-elect Donald Trump said Friday he's in favor of eliminating daylight saving time, calling it "inconvenient" and "very costly" as his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) directors also push for action on the matter. "The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn't! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation," Trump posted on Truth Social Friday. While Trump tweeted, "Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me," in 2019, he appears to be changing course now. This comes as his DOGE directors, Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk and Republican businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, have advocated for the time change to be eliminated. "Looks like the people want to abolish the annoying time change," Musk posted in response to a poll on X calling for DST to be abolished. "It's inefficient & easy to change," Ramaswamy responded. Any changes would need to be passed by Congress, and legislation on the issue has been considered before in recent years.Klubnik's 3 TD passes, DT Page's pick-6 lead No. 17 Clemson to 51-14 win over The Citadel
