Posted: 11/11/2007 7:02:20 AM | surfing the forums I noticed people having 'xmas' banners on their posts.
Don't you find them a bit premature? - maybe this post is as well -
When and how do you start savouring the xmas experience? | |

Posted: 11/11/2007 7:08:13 AM | Yes absolutely completely utterly premature - cant bear them.
Did question their useage on another post but worded it the wrong way and was told the banners etc were there from last year. I wanted to know why people had started using them in October, before Halloween and Bonfire Night. And what about the shops? Aisles full in the shops - that'll start in summer next year as each supermarket competes to get their stuff out before the other.
I prefer to get into Christmas about 2 weeks before, when I go and buy me and my mum a Christmas tree. That's the start for me. | |

Posted: 11/11/2007 7:10:43 AM | Usually I get into the mood Christmas eve afternoon - when I'm making mince pies and watching A Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street or some such film.
But I might get in the mood earlier this year because I've got the week before off. And the first week of the new year. But do have to work the 2 days between christmas and new year.
So just in case I forget | |

Posted: 11/14/2007 11:09:33 PM | Well people do tell me i'm a bit on the Anal side when it comes to things like this
I start shopping in Oct, i've now got everything apart from a bloody WII for my daughter, which is proving a bit of a problem, not sure she's gonna get one 
I've started getting certain foods in, i'll prob start wrapping soon, card list is done, so i just wait till bored one night lol I do all this, cause i hate last minute shopping, i like to enjoy plodding round, hate busy town centres and miserable x-mas shoppers
But i refuse to put dec's up til beginning of Dec, my daughters 9 now and we still have the arguments.
I don't have a lot of money, which is why i start early, and i love shopping full stop, so any excuse really
But i love x-mas, i get excited sometimes more than my daughter. Especially the parties and get togethers. Again it's all money but i was the 1 that decided to have my daughter so my own fault really lol | |

Posted: 11/15/2007 1:44:09 AM | December is a costly month for me, as there are a few families birthdays including mine 12 days before Christmas day. I tend to buy crap throughout the year and send it to people at Christmas  | |

Posted: 11/15/2007 1:52:55 AM |  I'm listening to christmas songs already!!
The decorations go up on December the 1st - none of that 12 day nonsence for me!! I absolutely love the build up to Christmas, have done since i was a child and having a child myself and seeing the excitement in him.... well it's contagious!
    
Or Happy Hannukah xx | |
