They've started early enough? We'll be sick of them by the time Christmas comes?

Anyway, what do you think of seeing tables absolutely covered in food like in the M & S and Sainsburys adverts? How much would be eaten from spreads like that? Have you ever been to (or had your own) spreads like that? Doesn't the absolute mountain of food actually put you off? OK, OK, I know it's questions, questions but when I was present at a spread like that my first thought was that it'd never all get eaten and that it was a way of showing off really. A bit of this, a bit of that (and a bit of the other 😀) is nice but overloading people is too over the top?
