to be cross with Nursery for having Xmas decorations up & Slade playing...

[FantasticVoyage]

...when it's still November?

Well it is advent now so we are officially in the run up to Christmas.

Slade, eh? Rock on!

It's advent now - it's ok.

Point taken about Advent. Although I don't see where Slade fit into the tradition (even though they are old enough to).

I detest that song (and am now wondering whether withdrawing child from nursery on grounds of musical taste, or sending with large ear-muffs would be best option...)

YANBU

Have a humbug

I do love christmas and can't wait to put our decs up! But November is too early imo.

It's just a song

Cheer up scroodge! Christmas is a lovely time of year.

Ooooh can we ask for a humbug instead of a biscuit for Christmas.????

Op can your LO now do an impersonation of Noddy Holder's warcry?

If I had gone to my DS's nursery to hear Slade blaring out and tinsel everywhere I'd have been so fecking jealous that I wasn't there myself.

It sounds ace!

Yes. You are. HTH.

I would say that its advent and less than a month til Christmas so its acceptable. And yes we do need some Christmas Smileys, when they coming Mumsnet HQ?

YABU

They are being unreasonable. Christmas doesn't start until the 1st in Nursery. We still have St Andrew's day to celerate tomorrow seeing as the nurseries are striking in Edinburgh on Wednesday

YABU miserable cow

I saw four Christmas trees, lights, displays etc yesterday. I was quite surprised to say the least.

Is the nursery open over xmas?
As school is all about learning songs for the nativity, the xmas fair etc now.

Yanbu. I hate seeing Christmas decorations up in November. It just means it's all so tired by Christmas. Our tree goes up a week before Christmas and not a moment before [humbug].

At least they weren't playing Fairytale of New York.

Ooooooooh I love christmas

Our tree went up at the weekend, as DD said the little boy next door said his was up and I thought why not

I googled first to check whether there would be a curse on the house though apparently not [phew!]

Oh so YABU

Xmas stuff in the shops in august is U
Xmas tree up a few days she of dec is not

I'm with you OP! Your LO will be asking "Is it Christmas yet?" every 5 mins from now on!

I nearly complained in our nursery about the decorations going up now. I think it just makes Christmas too big a deal and feeds into commercialism. I think kids need to learn how to look forward to things and this just strings it out too long. I judge people whonpit their tree up in November...

Week before is early enough! yes i know HUMBUG

That will be me then wips Ive had my tree and decorations up for a week, judge away!

We all love Christmas in this house and far from being sick of it by the time it comes it just adds to the excitement

Unless you work in said nursery and so have to hear it on loop, I don't see why it's a problem have been playing it for weeks in my car

Ds nursery had the Christmas fayre last week so are now in full on Christmas mode! It's great!
