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).

Because we want to! (Shouted in the manner of young Billie Piper pre Doctor Who and Chris Evans...)

I am feeling Christmassy too!
and at least one mnetter is putting her Christmas tree up today.
and there are Christmas poems.
and the bat is all Christmassy.
so .... it's Christmas.

I've been using my Xmas name for at least two years! I just liked it and stuck with it after Xmas one year.

There isn't an official name changing day (not imposed by mumsnet HQ anyways) so don't be embarrassed. Guess it's like the rest of Xmas stuff - some folks just start earlier than others.....

santabops · 27/11/2005 16:21

I just followed the corwd, didn't know there was an official name changing day

We nearly bought a real tree today

But then my brain eventually went back into sensible mode (a rare thing).

BoozyXmaswoozy · 25/11/2005 16:20

Voila. Now I'm getting in the Xmas spirit, where did I put those tree decorations???

I changed my name today after hearing my first Christmas song on the radio.

SoupDragon · 25/11/2005 15:51

Bah humbug!

macwoozy · 25/11/2005 15:49

Cheers for ideas, I can feel one coming on.

WalkinginaRainbowWonderland · 25/11/2005 15:45

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

PruniStuffing · 25/11/2005 15:44

WhiskyMacWoozy

not christmassy exactly, but winter-warming...

WalkinginaRainbowWonderland · 25/11/2005 15:44

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

MistleToo · 25/11/2005 15:42

but I should have a capital 'T'!

Mistletoo · 25/11/2005 15:40
