[expatinscotland]

Yes YABU.
I love Christmas, but it belongs in December.

and guess whats tomorrow......

OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!

yay! can't wait to swap tips

i'm so excited, dd is 4 now and will be briming with excitement so I want it to be extra special this year

Sort of, yep. Going to try and make it good for the kids (oooh, that sounds so nice!) this year. AND the new kitchen should be in te next few weeks so I can make a cake this year!!! EEEeE!

it is one day

dd1 is asking questions about Santa and Christmas.

couldn't resist getting her the tacky decoration in Primark she spotted.

the joy in her eyes when she sees it on Xmas day!

we've made the ornaments and broken out the 30 Things to Make for Christmas cards and she's made some choices - not ones I'd make but hey, she'll be thrilled to bake and make.

i just need some rum for my brownies.

oooo, can't wait!

has anybody else had the "I WANT THAT FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!" at every advert yet?

I can hardly wait to show dd my collection of tacky highly beautiful lighted decorations (including the one renamed rivers of blood by dh)

Nope, but when pressed, DD has informed DH and I that she wants a Lazytown box with Stephanie stuff inside.

2 days prior to this however, DH and I went out and bought her a bike. It is vivid pink, with Stephanie all over it and it comes in the Lazytown box so desperately wanted

poppy - i used to do a paper round pre ds and there was one house that had their santa on the house year round (not switched on) but then they switched it on at christmas

i was like laaaazzzzyyyyy

dd says 'i want that' to every single advert atm. I try to watch dvd's or cbeebies now

I'm getting organised for it all, buying gifts when I see things cheap etc

I can't wait til December 1st and I can get the decorations up

am i miserable po-faced biscuit arse git? Halloween 1st,Guy Fawkes 2nd...wee gap...Xmas

follow the natural order
i hate premature xmas stuff

aww ec - the tree lights have now been suspended due to dh falling out of a tree two years ago ... so have to content myself with the tacky indoor decorations - dd too small to object (yet)

Every day, DS says 'I'm going to ask Father Christmas to make or buy me a [insert toy of the day - remote controlled something or other, usually].' Then the next day it'll be something different. We've had remote control monster truck, rc flying dragon , rc car that gets bigger and smaller, can't remember what else. I keep having to 'manage his expectations'.

Christmas is for December not for life.

I was shopping the other day and Allders had Christmas trees displayed at the front of the store. Don't get me wrong, I lurve Christmas but even I was a bit at Christmas trees in the middle of September.

i get hypertension seeing all the xmas stuff in sainsbury.wrong i tell ya wrong

i'm excited about christmas, and have been buying presents etc but even i hate the chrsitmas decorations and chocolates in the shops now. They shouldn't be allowed until November IMO!

YABU - christmas starts in December, that's what makes it sooooo special.

yabu - life get a

Am not quite into Christmas planning yet myself, but why knock people who are? Just keep off the Christmas thread if you don't like it.
