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.

Oooo ovo I don't think I've ever agreed with a post more!

I completely agree with you, as usual maryz however it is usually considered bad form to have threads about threads and keep repeating yourself in new threads!

UNLESS it is the subject of people not keeping the c word to themselves in the c word topic

I quite like Christmas.

What I don't like is hiding the Christmas topic in October, only to find eleventy million Christmas threads in chat.

use the bloody Christmas topic FFS

Right That Is Enough!!

OvO is right. MN is entirely comprised of threads talking about Xmas or people moaning about people discussing Xmas.

It doesn't bloody matter it's all a pile of shit.

Everyone should shut up and wait quietly till Boxing Day, when the Creme Eggs come out [yippeee!]

Have been singing in the bleak midwinter all morning! :)
And you can't stop me! Mwahahahahahaha
All cards done, only one more gift to get.
I will have my feet up and be nice and comfy inside my house watching trashy TV when you are all out slogging round the shops in December.
Mw hahahahahahaha
Advent starts on 2nd dec...accept it people! :)
Oh, and merry Christmas!! :)

YABU
I love Christmas. I play carols all year round (well, I did until DH moaned - spoilsport!)

Christmas traditionally starts in the Autumn: we have puddings to steam, fruit to prepare, cakes to bake and feed, geese and turkeys to reserve.

'Tis the Season to be Jolly!!

Actually I am REALLY twitchy. Our circumstances have been very rubbish this year - so Xmas can't be paid for until dh gets his bonus/commission on the first of December.

Normally I can but a bit aside each month till June and then start buying bits from July so it's not so bad.

I hate leaving stuff to the last minute

But am not whining. At least we know we have something still due to pay for it.

YANBU.....took my Mum o a garden centre the other day and she asked me if I wanted "to have a look round the Christmas section"..... I refused to eave the car. #miserablecow.

Christmas is December and not before. What really pisses me off as well is the beginnings of the Easter display in January.

As of tomorrow you will BU

:o

I was in the pub on Sunday and one area was closed Off because they were starting to put up decorations.

This is a ridiculous pub that takes two weeks to put up more decorations than you have ever seen.

But two weeks is still only mid November. Early November, practically.

Mini eggs are out on Boxing Day.

I'm another that December is for relaxing and enjoying Xmas not charging round shops

Honey, you can get Green scream eggs - but they don't taste the same.

I'm with Altinkum.

I've been buying presents, and looking on boards here for a while as I only have one payday left untill christmas. We have to plan for months, and pin down family members well ahead.

I don't have my deccies up fgs, but neither can I swan into town in December and spend £100's in one go on food & gifts.

Mary I agree with you, I do. But I still seem to keep posting on Christmas threads. They suck me in. I can't help it.

I'm a big listmaker, so start thinking about what to buy in October. Then buy stuff as and when I see it. However it gets put away til Christmas eve a few days before Christmas and then gets wrapped. Although I no longer do all my shopping just a few days before I wouldn't feel Christmassy without a panic run for the last few bits and a frenzied wrapping session.

The early planning also stems from the few years where i had to make all my xmas presents so had to start early to have time to make them all.

A couple of threads have made me start to panic I'm not organised enough but I've soon given myself a slap and reminded myself it's still early.

Yes, please can MN start a campaign
"Christmas is for December, not the rest of the year" (Tho the 12th night rule applies still).
In our house Christmas (apart from Cake and advent calanders) doesn't start til after DH's birthday.

Tesco have put up their christmas tree at some point between Sat and yesterday shudder

And they had Hot Cross Buns there at the weekend. When are the easter eggs arriving??!!!

I love when they bring out Hot Cross Buns early next, they're the perfect Christmas morning breakfast!

Trills they don't do they? I pointed this out to dh and got a in return.

Does he also not believe that Orange smarties taste orange?

But you see, I don't mind you all getting ready for Christmas [generous] - in the Christmas topic.

I don't mind you all saving, and putting money aside, or even buying the odd present - but talk about it in the Christmas topic. I'm not rolling in money, I'm saving for Christmas, but I'm not spouting about it all over the board.

This isn't an anti-Christmas post at all. It's a pro-Christmas post - I am very, very pro-Christmas, I'm not grinch-like at all. I just like to keep it until December.

And finally, I wouldn't have started this thread if I hadn't come across so many Christmas threads in aibu and chat yesterday. So they did it first

So nyer.

Marks and Spencer have hot cross buns all year round - in fact they are two packs for 3 euro atm. They make a lovely Hallowe'en breakfast too.

I saw a thread here recently where someone said they had wrapped all their Christmas presents already. That really upset me.

What on earth will they do on Christmas eve? Christmas eve is for drunken wrapping isn't it?

A hot cross bun is just a toasted teacake with pretensions.

Joins MaryZscary in her weeping.

It's Halloween tonight, we still have Bonfire night to get through (and in my case DS2's birthday too) before it's time to start discussing the 'C' word!!
