Why do people get so irate about this? I really don't get it, and you're not the first to start such a thread.

It's Christmas, it's supposed to be fun, but every year people turn it into this Thing That Must Not Be Spoken Of.

I get that we should live for now and not completely focus on something that is months away, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't think about it at all.

I'm very disappointed there isn't a dedicated section for the 'c' word. I was getting excited Grin

I was ready to defend the use of the word cunt, even after you wrote turkey in your OP.

I then saw tinsel and I realised you were on about Christmas.

I'm a tired cunt today!

The Christmas thread police are more annoying than the people posting about Christmas.

High 5s I agree with you they are creeping in and it is making me twitchy so much angst and upset going on for a time that is supposed to be happy.

I hate it when this happens, my local coop has had selection boxes out for about 3 weeks now!! And they are selling the cadburys filled snowmen already... Is it just me or is it getting earlier..

There should be a ban on selling xmas stuff so early...

eatriskier, as Havant has pointed out, and given a link, there is a dedicated topic. All the fans of getting organised early can natter away to their hearts content over there, without clogging up AIBU and Chat Grin

Personally I find it hard when people start talking about Christmas in real life months earlier because it's a time of year I hate, so I wish people would just talk about it in December instead of for about 5 months. I don't need to hear about people's Christmas shopping plans in September.

Some people need to spread their buying out because it costs a lot for them.

and others (like me) just get excited. My DD is spending her second Christmas in her own home and it is lovely to see how excited she is about decorating and buying stocking gifts for her and her DP.

"Christmas has an H in it, Mr Baldrick. And an R, and an I, and an S. Also a T, an M, an A, and another S. Oh, and you've missed out the C at the beginning. Congratulations: you must be the first person to spell Christmas without getting any of the letters right at all!"

Merry Kweznuz, everyone!

Yanbu. I started a similar thread in July and got a flaming comparable to brandy on a pud. Mind you, that might have been because my OP suggested that the C-word obsessives need to get a life.
