I thought it was a Twix chocolate ad Blush

Yeah, I definitely couldn't eat a twixmas. Think I've already eaten my own body weight in chocolate and cake this Christmas as it is.

I really like crimbo Limbo, but never heard of either.

CuttingOutTheCrap · 29/12/2014 21:15

I thought it was a chocolate advert too!

Bulbasaur · 29/12/2014 21:27

What does twixmas even mean??

JemimaMuddledUp · 29/12/2014 21:28

I've just come back from a Twixmas short break. It was quite cheap, as the hotel needed to fill rooms in that annoying lull between Christmas parties and NYE. So YABU as Twixmas meant a cheap relaxing break with DH and the DC to get over having spent Christmas with both sets of parents.

YANBU to think it is a pretty annoying marketing term though. And it does make me think of Selection Boxes.

cardibach · 29/12/2014 21:44

Never heard it, so on that basis YABU as it can't be that annoyingly prevalent.
