...it's dedicated topic, I will personally hunt the culprits down and chop their fingers orf.

Yes I am the thread police.

Why do people get so irate about this? I really don't get it, and you're not the first to start such a thread.

It's Christmas, it's supposed to be fun, but every year people turn it into this Thing That Must Not Be Spoken Of.

I get that we should live for now and not completely focus on something that is months away, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't think about it at all.

CHRISTAMS!

CeliaLytton · 13/09/2013 09:54

(Can't chop my fingers off for writing a nonsense word Wink)

eatriskier · 13/09/2013 10:31

I'm very disappointed there isn't a dedicated section for the 'c' word. I was getting excited Grin

HotDogHotDogHotDiggityDog · 13/09/2013 10:36

I was ready to defend the use of the word cunt, even after you wrote turkey in your OP.

I then saw tinsel and I realised you were on about Christmas.

I'm a tired cunt today!

TidyDancer · 13/09/2013 10:38

The Christmas thread police are more annoying than the people posting about Christmas.

HavantGuard · 13/09/2013 10:41

Agreed. Keep it where it belongs. It's September FFS. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/Christmas

Ooh the seasonal aisle in Tesco has it all going on I bought some Roast Turkey Pringles from B&M Bargains today. Grin

Three payday's till Christmas.

MrsMangoBiscuit · 13/09/2013 10:53

Cunt cunt cunt.

I'm not going to miss out just because of your misleading thread title! Grin

mrsjay · 13/09/2013 11:07

High 5s I agree with you they are creeping in and it is making me twitchy so much angst and upset going on for a time that is supposed to be happy.

Nadienoo · 13/09/2013 11:12

I hate it when this happens, my local coop has had selection boxes out for about 3 weeks now!! And they are selling the cadburys filled snowmen already... Is it just me or is it getting earlier..

There should be a ban on selling xmas stuff so early...

FruOla · 13/09/2013 11:14

eatriskier, as Havant has pointed out, and given a link, there is a dedicated topic. All the fans of getting organised early can natter away to their hearts content over there, without clogging up AIBU and Chat Grin

Personally I find it hard when people start talking about Christmas in real life months earlier because it's a time of year I hate, so I wish people would just talk about it in December instead of for about 5 months. I don't need to hear about people's Christmas shopping plans in September.

eatriskier · 13/09/2013 11:58

fru a dedicated cunt topic?

FlapJackFlossie · 13/09/2013 12:00

It's NOT effing Christmas - it's effing SEPTEMBER !

BlackeyedSusan · 13/09/2013 12:02

butnow is the time to start spreading the cost of chrristmas....

mignonette · 13/09/2013 12:05

Some people need to spread their buying out because it costs a lot for them.

and others (like me) just get excited. My DD is spending her second Christmas in her own home and it is lovely to see how excited she is about decorating and buying stocking gifts for her and her DP.

"Christmas has an H in it, Mr Baldrick. And an R, and an I, and an S. Also a T, an M, an A, and another S. Oh, and you've missed out the C at the beginning. Congratulations: you must be the first person to spell Christmas without getting any of the letters right at all!"

Merry Kweznuz, everyone!

Trills · 13/09/2013 14:09

MardyBra · 13/09/2013 15:54

Yanbu. I started a similar thread in July and got a flaming comparable to brandy on a pud. Mind you, that might have been because my OP suggested that the C-word obsessives need to get a life.
