AIBU to point out, yet a-fucking-gain that it is still only fucking OCTOBER

[MaryZcary]

Yes, it's October. You know. The month before November.

It isn't even Hallowe'en yet.

It is still autumn.

Keep your fecking Christmas threads in the Christmas topic.

You are a crowd of wankers. You just don't care

It's all wrong, I tell ya, wrong.

I agree OP. Christmas chez toomuch is only allowed to start around the 10th December. That's when I vaguely mention to DH that we might need to start thinking about possibly getting organised. Two weeks before and a week up to new year is plenty in my book.

Although Ds may have other ideas .....

You are SO completely right there Mary. Come boxing day there will be 100 threads in Aibu "aibu to want to take the Christmas tree down and have a thorough hoover right through?" and all those ops will be the nutters who started talking about Christmas in August. Guaranteed.

I had a sprout last week. It was just wrong. A sprout is for Christmas, not for life. Keep Christmas Special.

Not in DHs case, he'd happily leave it up all year [hgrin]

I think I am going to have to Leave The Bastard

Agree with you ScaryMary - but I am soaking my fruit for the Christmas Cake which I will be making tomorrow. And I did purchase some mince pies earlier today for my elderly housebound father. He enjoys them and hell, why not?

Ooh and we had sprouts with our Chicken Dinner on Sunday. Sprouts deserve to be freed from their Christmas Shackles.

If anyone cares, I'd like an Airstream caravan for Christmas. It's on my list but I don't know who to give the list to?

I totally agree! Fecking christmas loving, untidy posting bastards, feck off and post in the Christmas topic! You take all of the joy and spontinaity out of it!

Tufty, even Father Christmas does not want your effing list just yet!

(If you happen to get 2 Airstreams, can I get one? Purleeze?? )

YANBU
I wish people would chill the fuck out

I went to 2 supermarkets to get halloween stuff tonight much to my distaste and it was all sold out. What is it with people being so fucking organised???

I have already eaten two tins of christmassssssy quality street, those £5 tins so am already getting my festiveness out of the bloody way as i hate christmas apart from the john lewis sale on chris eve and it all being over by boxing day. Hoooooooooooooorayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Pacific, if not father Christmas then who?
What was that song/rhyme? Number 1 stole the candy from the candy shop. Who me? Yes you.
Anyway.
Yes, you can have one if FC fucks up and gives me 2 but you'll have to pay for the crane. Fair?

See, this is how it is.

Cooking Christmas cake - fine.

Inviting (or not inviting) p-i-l's - fine

Buying the odd present in order to avoid massive December expenditure - fine.

Buying every present (and agonising over whether you have "enough"), wrapping them, putting up the tree and discussing the finer points of the vegetables - wait until December [mutter]

I'm rather chuffed to find a few people agreeing with me, even if it is only a sad few. We will all really enjoy Christmas IN DECEMBER.

I've done a lot of my Christmas shopping, now all I have is two whole months of planning meals, making homemade fudge and decorations and saying "ho ho ho" when I find something amusing.

MaryZ.I agree with anything that you say cos I luff you,and you are my Hero.

Oh, and buying tins of quality street is ok. Because October tins are for Hallowe'en, November tins are for my birthday, December tins should be eaten just to check that they haven't gone stale, leaving a couple for Christmas day.

I agree - DH moans about it too but bought mince pies last week so has forfeited the right to complain about Christmas adverts.

On our estate someone has put their outdoor Christmas lights up.

I rather like them!

OP, you are being very unreasonable.

Christmas is awesome, and the earlier the excitement starts, the better.

I'm turning up the Christmas Carols I'm listening to, to drown out your scrooges.

OP, you're right.

This should cheer you up

You know what REALLY bugs me? When, come mid december, when I finally get round to discovering that the fairy lights have broken... there wont be ANY in the shops, because all the annoying bastards who start in september have encouraged the shops to get EASTER in in DECEMBER! [hangry]

I love this time of year, we get Halloween and then bonfire night, and then to top it off Christmas. All so close together. Plus I popped out a baby the week before Christmas so there's birthday parties too.

Autumn and Winter are my favourite months. All that hot chocolate and burning fires.

I'm starting to think there's more threads moaning about Christmas threads than there are Christmas threads. There should be a Grinch topic so that all the moaning can be kept in there and we can hide the topic. Then we could start threads complaining about people complaining about Christmas in the wrong topics.

If you see what I mean.
