Aibu to be obsessed with Xmas already

[anitagreen]

Just this really I honestly cannot wait until November/ December when the Christmas adverts come on the tv, freezing cold nights and the fire on, Christmas tree up and bursting with presents underneath and tinsel everywhere! Christmas carols and starbucks crazy Xmas flavours being available.

Since my kids are now approaching the age where they understand about Father Christmas now and can be excited too I'm really excited.! My DH thinks I'm batshit crazy and sees Christmas as another day...

Also I'm aware it's still July but it's 4/5 months away and I do love something to look forward to lol.

I'm with your DH, but YANBU if it gives you pleasure .

Yes you are very unreasonable .

I’d settle for the freezing cold nights right now, never mind what month it is!

YANBU

Totally agree with you and cannot wait! It's my favourite time of he year.

Btw, there’s a Christmas topic you might feel at home in, op
Plenty of likeminded people there!
I’m just waiting for Autumn...

I hate the winter (though I love Christmas) but even I understand the appeal of cold nights and glowing fires when the weather's like this.

Look forward as much as you like. Start planning if it makes you happy. Christmas has always been special to me and it's exciting to create those traditions for your own small family.

My in laws treat Christmas as just another day. It's a fucking miserable approach.

Yes, YABU

Not so much the cold nights, I hate when it gets dark so early, i feel like I rarely see the sunlight in the winter. But i do love Christmas

Get thee to the Christmas topic!

It’s full of likeminded people who are looking forward to Christmas and planning it, preparing for it and dreaming about it as we speak...

I need to find this Xmas topic! I just love it so much, the weather today has reminded me how much I love it and I think it's nice having something to look forward to and plan. I never realised how many people aren't really bothered about Christmas before until I spoke to my family about it the other day. I'm actually currently sitting here wondering what colour theme to do the tree this year

Yy go to Xmas topic it never stops.

My mind always turns to Xmas at this time of year because sales, and Xmas booking opens up in many places

Oh I get it.. my 2 year old has started talking about Father Christmas (from Peppa Pig / Ben and Holly I think) and it’s just made me think about how much fun this year will be when he can go to bed excited for Christmas.

Yes get over to the christmas boards. You can enjoy christmas fever all yr round. I am with you and love winter. I love sept to jan and can get excited about christmas any time of year.

Yes
Very
I find Christmas overrated anyway
HTH

Thank you for all for making me feel and realise I'm not going insane and I hope you all have a great Christmas this year x

I always get like this when there is a heatwave

Why would it “help” that you think Christmas is overrated, Lonicera?
How arsey.

I made the mistake of bringing home the new Argos catalogue yesterday. Daughter has now written her Christmas list.

YABU for wishing away time.

Our local steam train service is taking bookings for its Polar Express train... It's clearly time to continue start prepping.

Come over to the Christmas topic.

Looking forward to something is not wishing away time.

Seriously, op, join the Christmas topic. Here you'll get a chorus of it's over commercialised rubbish and a bridge of how do you have nothing else in your life fa la la la la la la la.

I'm on it I've just found it and everyone seems so giddy and excited it's lovely. I never used to enjoy it until I had my own children and I start doing Christmas activites from December the 1st. I feel buddy the elf from the elf film haha x
