Gosh is it?
I had no idea
I’m not being sarcastic either.
Weather is quite mild..maybe that’s putting me off the trail.
10 degrees today and lovely down the marina

I just can’t get in the Christmas mood at all. Wish it would all just pass by without any fuss this year.

ssd · 14/12/2020 18:51

I keep thinking, if we all feel so low before xmas. God knows how we'll feel in January Sad

Yup, next week.

DH said earlier he was ready for this year to be over. I said you've got a few months yet. He hd to remind me the year will be over in three weeks!

JohnMcClane · 14/12/2020 18:58

I know!!!

I mean usually I leave everything too late but this year, with working from home and not having any Christmas festivities I haven't given it a thought.

I keep thinking, if we all feel so low before xmas. God knows how we'll feel in January Me too Sad

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 14/12/2020 18:58

It's the same (for me) every year. I HATE that it all starts in bloody September & I get grumpy & 'bugger off' then before I know it, it's upon us! I do TRY to start in Nov

I'm currently surrounded by Christmas Decorations that need
putting up, Christmas cards that need writing....🙄

Christmas seems to creep up on you in a different way depending on the day of the week it falls. Just as months seem longer if they have five weekends whereas some have four.

Stepintochristmas2020 · 14/12/2020 19:35

I'm fairly organised for Christmas but theres just no Christmas spirit this year so it doesnt feel like it's coming. I'm WFH so I drop the kids down in the morning then come home and sit on my own for 8 hours. I turn on the radio for a couple of hours in the morning, then get sick of it so end up sitting in silence. Its such a joy kill.

O I also have my birthday in January which makes me hate January even more. It's the worst time of year.

Mammyloveswine · 14/12/2020 19:36

Our tree isn't even up yet!!

Chewbecca · 14/12/2020 19:41

Gosh, it sounds ever so close when you put it like that.

WTF am I gonna get my mum and dad, I have gifts for neither yet, 😫

hettyhooverdoover · 14/12/2020 19:41

Just not feeling Christmassy and I've tried :-(

newlabelwriter · 14/12/2020 19:44

I'm not feeling it at all. DS is isolating at the moment, I'm not working and we've just gone into Tier 3. Normally would be loving the run up to Christmas and the idea of being off work for 2 weeks and this year I can think of nothing I'd less rather do.

Lulu1919 · 14/12/2020 19:44

Bloody h*ll is it !?!?
Sigh
Not feeling it at all this year

CoronaIsWatching · 14/12/2020 19:45

I just realised when I was on the phone to DP earlier, in my mind it's about 3 weeks away yet!

dudsville · 14/12/2020 19:45

Whhhhhhaaaaaaattttttt?????

ivfbabymomma1 · 14/12/2020 19:48

Shit I didn't realise either tbh! I mean I'm all sorted but I don't feel very festive Sad

Fiftyandmore · 14/12/2020 19:55

I'm with you op. Cannot get my head around the fact it's next week! Had this convo at work today:

Colleague: You're off next week aren't you?

Me: No, I'm off in Christmas week on 22nd and 23rd.

Colleague: That's next week!

Me: 😯

doctorhamster · 14/12/2020 20:06

DH pointed this out to me earlier. In my head I still had at least 3 weeks to get organised! I'm still waiting for many parcels, have gifts still to buy, nothing is wrapped, cards aren't written. I was patting myself on the back as I stood in a big queue at the shop to buy stamps earlier but they didn't have any left Blush

Dryadia · 14/12/2020 20:07

DH is threatening to leave as I keep playing youtube vids on the TV of wintery villages, choirs, fireplaces burning bright and Christmas light walks from around the world.

Any other ideas how I can torment him?

OHHH, goes off to search for christmas eve services!

AnyFucker · 14/12/2020 20:07

Feck !

HermioneWeasley · 14/12/2020 20:10

I’m feeling really festive this year and really looking forward to Xmas. Finished my wrapping today, food is ordered, I’m ready to go

merlotormalbec · 14/12/2020 20:10

I said to myself earlier I must do that on the Saturday before Christmas, then I realised that's this Saturday!!
