There's no need. You could start doing it all now, but why? Concentrated attack nearer the time is more efficient.

Yes, yes. Concentrated attack

All these fools missing out on elbow scuffles, fingers blue with weighted bags, they're all panic dieting whilst wear losing weight doing a sprint towards the latest fad in toys'r'us Wink

No, set one day aside for present buying, get what you can on tinternet (am), one obligatory charge round shops for crap (pm).

One day in supermarket having a breakdown.

One day getting and putting up tree and load of old shitey decs.

Three day job.

UnquietDad · 25/11/2010 10:07

To the Christmas-lovers I'd say, you can enjoy Christmas all you like but PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT START IN FUCKING SEPTEMBER. Seriously, are your lives so empty?

YANBU Apocalypse, But now you've started another thread all about Christmas!! You loon Grin

ApocalypseCheese · 25/11/2010 10:17

But this is an anti-Christmas thread, it's special Wink

OP posts:
memoo · 25/11/2010 10:19

Ahh its a special thread, I get it now

UnquietDad · 25/11/2010 10:19

I just think that if you have this much opportunity in your life to start obsessing about Christmas this early - let alone THREE MONTHS early in some cases - then you must have a serious case of Too Much Time On Your Hands.

Theantsgomarching · 25/11/2010 10:21

I agree about september, but surely now isn't too early to get organised..

If I left it to the last minute I'd be so stressed I wouldn't enjoy any of it and that seems pointless.
