I've spent the evening on 'christmastok' to feel something 😭

Also around 4 months til autumn starts, and the warm weather bloody goes away

🥰🥰

I sat on my sofa this evening with an awful dread that if this half of the year goes as fast as the first half the dark nights and shit weather will soon be upon us. Hate it.

RentalWoesNotFun · 25/05/2025 22:23

Nooooooooooo

UnctuousUnicorns · 25/05/2025 22:24

Go away.

Let us have summer please without mentioning Christmas!

TheyreLikeUsButRichAndThin · 25/05/2025 22:30

Yaaaaaaay!!! I love summer but always look forward to autumn and winter (and spring!) too. Ah! Can’t wait.

LoveTheLake525 · 25/05/2025 22:31

Oh do shut up!

(said lovingly)

Mum2jenny · 25/05/2025 22:32

Please go away, Christmas is more than 6 months away. I cant think about next month so Xmas is not doing anything for me.

FiveWhatByFiveWhat · 25/05/2025 22:33

Ha ha @mumofoneAlonebutokay this really made me smile so thank you! I might send a link to my summer obsessed friends just to put the cat amongst the pigeons 🤣

On a serious note, this has prompted me to start thinking about setting some money aside each month to cover December... We don't go crazy, but always host and DS has his birthday 2 weeks before Christmas!

iwentjasonwaterfalls · 25/05/2025 22:33

Yaaaaay 🎄🎁☃️

I love the spring and summer, but I love winter and autumn is my absolute favourite.

SweetSound · 25/05/2025 22:39

🎶. Oh, we're (nearly) half way there. 🎶

There is a Christmas board if you’re interested OP, where posters talk about Christmas all year round. 😃 🎄

Sux2buthen · 25/05/2025 23:11

I start in November so I’m closer in my head 😂the minute September rolls around I’m as happy as a pig in a blanket 🐷

Doingtheboxerbeat · 25/05/2025 23:18

I think with the amount of people I know who have lots of people buy for and struggle with money, then reminders like this can be useful - 7 paydays 😩.

DoingthefullGareth · 25/05/2025 23:59

Ugh. Hoping for a roasting hot summer.

Surprised that the words “cosy” and “snuggly” haven’t been mentioned yet.

SugarPlumpFairyCakes · 26/05/2025 00:01

Hush now.

xxlostxx · 26/05/2025 00:03

Sod off 😂
We want heatwaves. Light, long nights. Sleeping under just sheets & waking up to sunshine 🌞

ilovesooty · 26/05/2025 00:12

Go away. There's a Christmas board for this kind of thing. 🤑

Talk about wishing your life away.

Totally agree this year has gone too quickly.

I think I need a non school job as this always happens. I feel I waste summer with a painfully long slog of the last term and then it’s August off when everyone is talking about Autumn 🙁

Wash your mouth out with soap! We will not have the C word mentioned in this house until after the clocks change!

funinthesun19 · 26/05/2025 08:07

I wish I could jet off somewhere this Christmas and avoid it ☀️ 🏝️

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 26/05/2025 08:10
