Septoctnocember
n.— «Labor Day, Columbus Day and Halloween, much less Thanksgiving, are now mere speed bumps on the highway to Christmas, folded into the 115-day month of Septoctnocember.» —“Santa arrives several months early” by Jeff Gammage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Sun Journal (Lewiston, Maine) Aug. 25, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)

Let the planning begin!

I'm so excited! Kids are back at school, the kettle is on and my cath kidston organiser is out. The planning is one of my favourite bits!

Merry Septoctnocember to you too! I am so borrowing that! My best friend and I get a bit giddy around this time of year making Christmas cake and planning drinks and parties. Then we freak out because there are so many crafty things to make, but so little time!

Bumping this for the 2021 best month of the year

I love Christmas planning!! Have banned myself until end of October but just happy it is now Autumn!

The 25th of every month is Rudolph Day, where I can think of Christmas future and reminisce about Christmases past.

And design Christmas cards, crochet something, buy fabric, make lists.....

Merry Septoctnocember to you too!

I'm starting my Christmas planning TODAY. The notebook is already out, Christmas cards are ordered and days out are being booked.

Hurrah! My planner is all sorted and preparations are underway. Septoctnocember is the best time of the year!

I'm in a new house this year and I'm planning how I'm going to decorate for Christmas already!
