It is now officially Christmas

[Squitch]

I'm a pianist (at a school - not a concert pianist or anthing swish) - and today when I got to work in my cubby hole was the sheet music for the two Christmas plays! I no longer feel guilty for my early excitement and plan this afternoon to sing Christmas carols with gay abandonment (well untill some grinch tells me off) - but it's Christmasy work time! Yay

It's not officially Christmas until I've heard Fairytale of New York playing in the shops or the radio.
And it has to be The Pogues, not that cheap'n'nasty Ronan-Arse-Keating pathetic version.

And I have managed to embarrass my DC my singing along tunelessly, grabbing DS head and kissing him (he'll be 12 in December) and reminding him-again- that I was singing this while he was being born.

Wipes away tears...

i have bought all presents for 3 of my 4 dc's, just one dc left to do and stocking fillers

i'm sorry, but its not really christmas until the coca-cola christmas adverts start on the tv, usually then end of nov, beginning of dec.

oh, i love the coca cola christmas ads, dp always says coke tastes better out of the glass bottles

Or the Irn Bru one if you live North of the Border. Irn Bru also tastes best out of glass bottles

I got my first Christmas mailshot yesterday, and I've bought the majority of the Christmas presents for everybody as they needed getting before my redundancy pittance ran out, so yes, Christmas is well under way here as well!
