It's just not Christmas until I've put a pointsettia plant on my windowsill.

1st December.

But I must admit I'm feeling really festive this year, I've even found myself singing Xmas songs wrapping presents.

OhGiveUp · 22/11/2021 15:28

That sounds festively happy @Ilovetobake 😁

I've got over Covid! Isolation finishes on Saturday so hopefully well enough to get Christmassy after then!

It's not Xmas till I've watched the grinch! 🎅

Until I’ve bought the main present for each of the children. That’s the point at which I feel more relaxed.
Also when I’ve bought Advocaat (sp?)

It used to be when the Coca Cola advert was on the telly. However, it was on last night, which was far too early. I'll have to think of something else now.

It’s not Christmas until I smell gloss paint. My parents always used to decorate just before Christmas and I seem to do the same 🤪

FlickyCrumble · 22/11/2021 15:35

Until the wreath is on my front door.

I hear a cliff song

I see the "holidays are coming" coke ad.

... I've traipsed half way across the country on public transport to deliver gifts to car owner relatives. And traipse back with gifts the car owner relatives have kindly bought, wrapped and held onto for me to collect and traipse back across the country with.

I've opened a bottle of port and had it with Stilton

WildStallyn · 22/11/2021 15:47

I'd like to say 1st Devember but my 6 year old has other ideas. She's been watching Christmas Chronicles on repeat and singing Christmas songs for about a month already.

BeeDavis · 22/11/2021 15:49

For me its not Christmas until I see the Coca Cola Christmas advert… which was on last night so YAY! Although I’ve felt Christmasey for weeks now!

It's not Christmas until DH has broken the nutcracker.

Every. Bloody Year.

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 22/11/2021 15:50

Coca Cola Christmas ad for me too. It's definitely Christmas now!!!

eggandonion · 22/11/2021 15:50

I’m the same about the poinsettia, although I usually manage to kill a couple of them before I get one that then lasts until Easter 🤣
trappedsincesundaymorn · 22/11/2021 16:07

I've watched "The Muppet's Christmas Carol".

tedsletterofthelaw · 22/11/2021 16:09

After my birthday which is this week

OhGiveUp · 22/11/2021 16:11

@Mawbroon At least you know what to get him for a stocking filler 😂

Looking at the replies so far, it looks like we're bigger kids than our kids underneath 👍

Not Christmas here until Kevin from Home Alone slaps on some aftershave and does his agonised 'scream face'!

OhGiveUp · 22/11/2021 16:13

@Skodadoda Snap. 😂 I've only got as far as the shop door before they lose the will to live.

The Christmas Radio Times arrives.

OhGiveUp · 22/11/2021 16:15

@Watto1 Do you pen a circle around what you want to watch?
I used to love getting settled with a cuppy and the Xmas copy with a pen.
