AIBU to think it’s not me who’s ‘odd’

[NotOdd]

Apparently (according to bf) I’m odd, out of touch and not like “most people” because I think Sunday roast lunch as a regular standard default family event is normal and that about now is the time to start firming up Christmas plans in terms of guests etc.

Bf says he knows no one who regularly has a Sunday roast lunch or anyone who thinks about Christmas “this early”. He thinks this is because I come from a “backward” part of the country 🙄

I am genuinely confused because literally everyone I know (bf and his family aside) would have a roast Sunday lunch (not set in stone, other things may happen instead ie days out, bbq in the summer etc) and everyone I know either has, or nearly has, their Christmas plans settled. When I say ‘everyone’ I mean my whole family, my EXH whole family (going by knowing them for 20 years) and all my friends.

AIBU for thinking it’s not me who’s the ‘odd’ one?

We have a roast most Sundays, it’s one of the only meals that the kids love that isn’t covered in breadcrumbs 😂
But I don’t plan Christmas until usually late November. Particularly this year, I don’t want to make plans just to have to cancel them...

My mum on the other hand starts buying presents in January for the following year!

Yes to a Sunday lunch or some kind of meaningful meal as a family. The thought of a takeaway on a Sunday makes my eye twitch.
Christmas plans get firmed up end of August for me. Just who's going where, that sort of thing!

We have a roast maybe every 3 weeks in winter at home. In summer never unless it's in a pub in the countryside. Summers for outdoor pursuits.

Xmas. Not yet.

We have a regular Sunday roast but usually in the evening as we go out walking in the day time.

Christmas I think about in early December

I couldn't stand being tied to cooking a particular meal like that on a Sunday. We are always too busy doing things to be chained to the kitchen and routines.
