Why are so many people using Christmas names already?

[Lonelymum]

Just that, really.

It isn't even Decmeber yet!

Did I miss the official launch of the Christmas names? (like the turning on of the Christmas lights).

[JonesTheSteam]

I thought the official date was 1st December!

[jinglinggoblin]

there was a xmas name sign in thread and i cant be bothered to change back

[Lonelymum]

So who are you then?

[jinglinggoblin]

what, me? am normally gigglinggoblin but i dont think anyone recognises either name

[Mistletoo]

why not? they start selling Christmas cards in October!

[compo]

I had exactly the same thought LM!!

[WigWamBam]

Bah humbug ...

[WalkinginaRainbowWonderland]

I also changed, quite liked it and have stayed with the christmas name... And now I've started on my first mince pies of the season I feel it only my duty to be honest and say it has made me feel just a bit Christmassy... also with a sprinkling of snow on the ground this morning thought it wouldn't hurt!

[compo]

Mistletoo - doesn't mean you have to send them in October though

[zippimistletoes]

It has come early this year

it has snowed in some places

and i've been packing christmas parcels since August

[jinglinggoblin]

i have been feeling xmassy since i started buying kids pressies about 4 weeks ago

[Mistletoo]

true compo

am not actually a particular fan of Christmas either!

For me, I was just so darn chuffed with my name (thought I was very clever) that I had to share

[Lonelymum]

I do like the Christmas name tradition, but I hate the feeling of unease I get when talking to a whole load of people and not being quite sure who they are, (in so far as I know who anyone is here!) Why is your name so clever Mistletoo - who were you before?

And yes, of course I recognise gigglingoblin, but I did wonder if you were ggglimpopo.

[crimbocrazydazy]

I joined the thread of changing names and I first was "crimbocrazy" and I don't think anyone knew me so I had to change to this, bit of a mouthful and now get called "CCD" which suits me fine!!!!

[Lonelymum]

You wait until you see my name CCD!

[Miaou]

oooh, are you joolstoo?

[Miaou]

ItllBeLonelyMumThisChristmas?

[PruniStuffing]

I don't like being told what to do (can't remember who was doing the telling though).

Also am feeling v christmassy this year, unaccountably.

[macwoozy]

I would change mine if I could blimen think of one

[Mistletoo]

me Miaou? yup!

[MistleToo]

but I should have a capital 'T'!

[WalkinginaRainbowWonderland]

Not very imaginative but how about Xmacwoozy or Xmaswoozy - at least everyone would know it was you?

[PruniStuffing]

WhiskyMacWoozy

not christmassy exactly, but winter-warming...

[WalkinginaRainbowWonderland]

Yes Prunistuffing - much better than my idea! Winter Warming indeed...
