Every year I try to hold back the tide of tinsel until December, but I'm happy to admit defeat on the 1st. [santa]

I used to be BlackBeltInChildWrangling - will you join me in a Christmas name change, just for fun? [santa]

Go into your account settings, Lass, put in your new name and then your password, click on save. That's it. Then go and change it back in January. The same as lots of us do every year for Halloween. [santa]

(I'd quite enjoy wrapping, Lass, if I didn't end up still doing it at 4am on Christmas morning. I often bump into Santa coming down the chimney [santa])

 @BlackBeltInPresentWrapping if you could come and wrap my presents, I'll repay grandly in Christmas Cookies Grin

My current name was inspired by my Xmas decorating theme this year, I'll change it in the new year.

You fit right in with your tartan here, plaid. That's 4 behind the advent door. [santa][santa][santa][santa]

That's the joy of banning it in our house with the DCs until December. When it doesn't start until today, it's not so bad.

Do you want some humbugs with that coke?! Go on, change your name, you know you want to [santa]

I'm more partial to cookies and wrapping, than shopping - so if you do my shopping and supply cookies, Cookie, I'm on for your wrapping!

(I should warn you that I've only done 2 things so far: bought sprout flavour crisps for the DCs to try, and name changed!)

I feel your pain, Peach. You'll see from my pp that we're not yet overrun with it. It can be happily mentioned from today, and the advent calendars will be up later today, but we tend to do the tree and decorations on Christmas Eve.

Might I suggest CranberryCokeZero?! I can't do much about your MIL, I'm afraid, sorry [santa]

If I can figure out how to change my name… But what could I change it to?

If you look upthread, kitty, to my pp at 01.53, that will tell you how. The rest is up to you and your imagination [santa]

Yes, it did it. Thank you.

Hohomerrykittymania · 01/12/2018 04:03

Did it change it?

Hohomerrykittymania · 01/12/2018 04:04

IT WORKED!!! I wanted to add a Christmas tree or something but I couldn't find one on my keyboard. Next year…

We could do with MNHQ giving us some time limited Christmas emojis, like at Halloween.

I imagine MNHQ will start a Christmas NC competition soon - as well as rolling out the Christmas smileys Xmas Wink Xmas Grin
