CHRISTMAS

I work for an events company, and we start selling tickets for our Christmas events in the summer - and tickets always sell out by October. But still, we have those customers who complain about Christmas being mentioned so early.

Christmas is our busiest time and biggest money maker. If we waited until November to sell tickets we would have no idea on numbers in order to book and organise our suppliers etc. Events take months to organise and selling tickets is one of the most important parts!

Clearly everyone is going to think you’re talking about a different C word!

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/08/2019 19:33

Click bait bullshit.

I hate it because all the joy has been sucked from it by the capitalist machine long before December 25th. I love Christmas music. But not when I'm forced to listen to it from the 1st November.

I’ve noticed florists preparing for Christmas. Prep needs to start early

MozzchopsThirty · 03/08/2019 19:39

Oh I was hoping it would be cunt 💁🏼‍♀️

I hate Christmas
I don't want to think about it until 1st December and it's over by Christmas Day night

I much prefer the word cunt

MozzchopsThirty · 03/08/2019 19:41

@crankysaurus me too

NCforthis2019 · 03/08/2019 19:42

I love Christmas. I have no problems with the word cunt either. #justsaying

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/08/2019 19:46

Cunt is better than vagina.

Vagina is sheath or scabbard, which implies it's only function is to put something in. Deeply misogynist.

Cunt might come from wedge, woman or create. All good!

There is almost three months of advertising and hype before December 25th - a local garden centre puts their Christmas stuff up at the beginning of October. So like a pp I'm completely fed up with it by the time Christmas day comes.

Totally agree Mozzchops
I don't hate Christmas but can't say I like it either Starts far too early
Right pain having to find and think up presents for everyone then you have to wrap the ruddy things
As soon as it's over I am thinking roll on Spring
Spend the whole day getting food ready then clearing it all up b4 the whole lot want feeding again bah humbug be great to give it a miss

Beautiful3 · 03/08/2019 20:05

I honestly thought you were talking about the other C word! I was genuinely interested as it intrigues me how some people find it so offensive, when it simply means vagina! Lol!
Anyway I love Christmas and it's good to buy a couple of things each month to help budget for it.

cunting christmas

lentilsandsausages · 03/08/2019 20:48

Love all words relating to cunty, cunting cunt. Christmas event prep / sales has to start early. That's obvious. It's also inevitable that people will complain that it's too early. They will still book though if they want to guarantee their space. What an annoying cunty clickbaity title.

AveAtqueVale · 03/08/2019 20:55

I thought you were talking about cancer, and thought you were perhaps being a tad thoughtless Confused.

But YANBU. Christmas prep starts in late spring here Grin.

TroysMammy · 03/08/2019 20:58

Whenever anyone mentions it out of season I say eg "we don't say the C word, especially in July".

TroysMammy · 03/08/2019 20:59

I also follow card making pages on Facebook and it's full of making Christmas cards. Grrr
