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 meant that in the best possible way, btw, @mumofoneAlonebutokay. It's a great place to hang out and no one gets annoyed by out-of-season Christmas talk.

😭😭😭 nooo

Give me my 15 tog duvet and electric blanket, and the sound of hail banging on the window!!

You can have mine. I like sunny warm weather. Christmas can bog off. So much expectation which can never be fulfilled.

I do get super down after Christmas day passes - as much as i love it, it's never as good as the 90s Christmases for me

So very exited! I have an alarm on my phone set for September 1st so I can check it and see how many days until autumn. Actually need to go through all my decor and see what I've got/organise it all.

I'm already planning my autumn/winter crafts, decor, days out, meals, outfits and bakes 🍂🧡

Might I ask why this thread hasn't been moved into the C** section yet? 🧐

A fresh recruit for the #foreverchristmas club!

All jokes aside, congratulations to you, a Christmas baby will be lovely 🥰

Omg yes!

September the first is when I'm at my happiest!

Me too, I have to buy all new decorations this year as we've moved! I'm really looking forward to it 😄

Bring on soup season!

Okay recommendations for autumn decor, The Range and Next, they have some beautiful pieces, even this time of year. Also cheaper if you buy now as opposed to in August.

I've already saved so many soup and warm cosy meals to my Pinterest along with things like baked apple recipes and pumpkin cake pops

Okay I'm getting into bed in a few mins so will get on the next app, and then the range website 🙌

I want to splash out as a one off on a balsam hill tree but they're so expensive!

I want an 8ft one 🤭🤭

I have this vision of a train going around the bottom as well but that's probably out of my price range

Plus I imagine my dd6 sitting on it 😫

The rain today is karma for the anti Christmas vibes on this lovely thread

Ah I don’t mind a bit of rain in the warmer months. Better than the cold miserable shite we get in “cozy season”. 😄

🎶. 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. 😃 🎄

The Safe Space Xmas Grin

Love the Christmas Threads and huge Christmas fan
I have a notebook <old gimmer> to write things during the year .
After my DD birthday (June) I start buying things for her Dec 1st Box .
Already got her Winter Pyjamas (not Christmas pyjamas)
Enough The Snowman loo roll
And we have festive bedding
And a Christmas Cupboard for crockery and Christmas straws

As you were
