Quick note from MNHQ - this is the Christmas board, so enthusiasm for Christmas isn’t generally considered a medical condition here. If festive anticipation isn’t your thing, that’s fine, but please don’t derail the thread.

Agree. It’s sad that you are wishing away the vast majority of each year.

@Iloveluna @MaybeItWasMe Why are you following the Christmas section in March if you disapprove?

Madeawish · 13/03/2026 21:42

If it makes you happy then it's no-one else's business. I certainly wouldn't judge you.

Thank you!

God forbid a woman yearns for the most wonderful time of the year!

To be fair this came up in actives for me, I don’t follow the Christmas topic either and I agree it’s a bit odd to someone who isn’t a Christmas fanatic!

Imisscoffee2021 · 13/03/2026 21:48

I adore christmas, hugely massively always have amwaysbwill.

However, what seasons to come first, spring and the green creeping back into the world, glorious summer and long days of outdoor living, pumpkin spiced autumn and the cosy hygge slow down it brings, halloween, fireworks!

Then christmas, a time of feasting and gift giving in the depths of winter, I just couldn't imagine wanting christmas now when the world is waking up! I was at a national trust style place today and they still had the decs up in the kids area and ugh it's so wrong it made me itch 😂

Ooooh no, I neeeeeed the summer first. At least 4 months of it. I am sooooooo over the bloody rain, and the cold. ❄

I do like Christmas though! Grin But I don't get excited about it til after Halloween!

YANBU to be excited about it whenever you want to be though! 😃

Last night all my dreams were about Christmas. Including a ridiculous game in the city centre where reindeer and turkey were trying to take you out.

Amira83 · 13/03/2026 21:53

Im Christmas mad and really love the festive season which for me and my children starts in September til January. Dont worry as its coming soon. You can still watch Christmas movies this time of year and bake Christmas goods ☺️🎄

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 13/03/2026 21:53

I’d be happy to go from September all the way to the end of February, then straight back to September again!

Just over three months to summer solstice though. That’s nice, I love it when the world appears to pause at the solstices.

Oh my god

I'm having a day of screentime and doomscrolling

I am not missing anything in life but I do love Christmas

If I posted this on aibu I would expect this kind of attack but you are on the Christmas board - perhaps your life is missing something which is why you've taken time out of your evening to judge me 🤷‍♀️🖕

Sorry to say that you very, very much are following the Christmas section. Whether you see it via Active or not doesn’t matter.

If you don’t want to see it you have to actively unfollow.

I must admit I did like the sun we had for the past few weeks - but when the wind came yesterday, I was like - this is how life should be

Wait - there’s Christmas tiktoks? Are there any Christmas instagram things?

Yeah there will definitely be Christmas vibes Instagram pages x

I get this. I think my problem is that it still feels like winter, it's easier to move on when you're moving on to something different.

Woo hoo!

I don’t like the American ones though. I prefer the British ones.

Leaning against the wall in the corner our spare room are several rolls of Christmas wrapping paper waiting to go back into the loft. 😂

It’s not worth it now, you’ll be getting it back out in October.

Just keep it where it is and give it a little stroke when you walk past 😆.
