I haven’t, just intrigued when everyone else normally does it

Not yet, but I am thinking about it! DM is going through new cancer treatment and I just want her to be stress free and well.

I love Christmas 🎄 ♥️

Amba1998 · 29/07/2024 21:22

Booked a light trail, Santa, Panto.

TheSecondMrsTanqueray · 29/07/2024 21:23

The Christmas board is just over there, OP!

Eh??!!!! I'm still waiting for summer!

OlympicsFanGirl · 29/07/2024 21:28

YABU to post in AIBU instead of the Christmas board.

Especially in July.

SocksAndTheCity · 29/07/2024 21:29

Does 'I'm going to eat too much and watch TV' constitute 'plans'? 😀

LindorDoubleChoc · 29/07/2024 21:30

YABU. Ask in the Christmas topic ffs

paddyclampster · 29/07/2024 21:30

Certainly not! Bloody hate winter and cba with Xmas, apart from the time off work!

MsSquiz · 29/07/2024 21:32

Yes because I'm a planner and DD1's birthday is a week before Christmas Day.

I've booked a light trail and a Santa visit, and DD1's birthday party

BotterMon · 29/07/2024 21:32

Er no!

RachelGreep87 · 29/07/2024 21:32

Do you mean Christmas 2025?
Surely everyone is sorted for Christmas 2024 by now

Mademetoxic · 29/07/2024 21:33

Get a life! It's summer!

There's a board dedicated to the c word...

gardenmusic · 29/07/2024 21:34

OP, ask to be moved to the Christmas thread, you will get lots of answers and plans.

The Christmas board seems for real keen beans, I wanted to know whether ‘non-eggnog-latte’ people had thought about it yet if that makes sense

We alternate his family and mine every year so it’s always effectively decided. That said, this year I will be supremely pregnant so who knows what will actually happen.

How lovely 🎉

I start thinking about Christmas around the 20th December! Though this thread has just sparked a conversation with DH about how nice it would be to go away and ignore the whole thing. *shuffles off muttering.

Blisterly · 29/07/2024 21:40

I wait until December. Most people I know do this. Not sure why’d you want to wish your life away, but then I’m the one dreaming of sun in late January! If I’m that desperate I get some winter sun. Can you go somewhere Christmassy in August and have more of what you enjoy?

Peonies12 · 29/07/2024 21:40

Of course not! We rarely plan anything beyond the next weekend. And having first baby in November so expect we’ll just stay home

Wolfpa · 29/07/2024 21:42

I have booked the hotel we are going to stay in for Christmas, the earlier you do it the cheaper it becomes.

GoTigers · 29/07/2024 21:43

Other than wishing I could go to bed on the 1st Dec and wake up on the 1st Jan, no.

GradGirl · 29/07/2024 21:43

No, I’m thinking of going away, not sure yet. In fact I looked at a Christmas cruise earlier today (never been on a cruise). No idea what we will go for but I fancy a break from the norm.

AhBiscuits · 29/07/2024 21:44

We haven't discussed it but I've vaguely pondered to myself. It's my turn to work between Christmas and new year. Unless they have other plans, we'll go over to the inlaws after breakfast and stay over there. If they are going away we'll have a quiet one at home, which I'm in favour of.

gardenmusic · 29/07/2024 21:45

Go tigers
That sounds sad. I hope you are OK.
