To want to know if it's safe to talk about Xmas yet?

[Hedgeblunder]

I'm ready to be told to fuck off for another week/month but I've got about 7 million threads I need to start as well as shopping/working/watching boxsets and I really am just trying to be efficient I promise.

Go on - I am thinking about it but haven't actually done anything yet.

You can for me.

I like the xmas threads.

Oh good! Unanimous verdict I see

fuck off

Not till after Halloween and Bonfire night.

Usualsanta

Quick.

Start one whilst its 2 for 2 against

Its October ........

Personally I don't usually allow it until 6 weeks before Christmas. I suppose you could have special dispensation now. Exactly what is so pressing?

Oh bugger. But that's aaaaaages
the evil BIL is bloody coming nooooooo
my MIL Shameless regifting

i signed up for our works xmas do today

Exactly bigchris- I have been asked by three RL people what I would like for Xmas today (the whole benefit counter thanks)
so surely that makes it alright

Perhaps you need to do 2 a week up until xmas to cover all the issues?

Go on, start now

You know you want to.

DS has been playing Christmas songs on his iPod for a couple of weeks now. And I bought some presents for the kids today in the half-price sale in Sainsburys!

No no no no no no NO! There is to be no talking about that part of the year until the 1st of December! DS2's birthday is on the 27th November, and the 'other' season isn't allowed to be spoken of until he has had a 'proper' birthday!

There is a Christmas topic!

Pretend you're a music teacher.

Christmas starts immediately after half term then!

DH came down this morning to hear the new music box that arrived today playing "Good King Wenceslas"

He yelled "It's still OCTOBER" and huffed off to me and dd giggling at him.

I lurve my new music box.
