<jingles bells> It's the Christmas Name Change Competition - VOTING OPEN!

[DecorKateTheXmasTreeMumsnet]

Ho ho ho!

Yes, it's that most magical time of year, when MN becomes all festive and even more giddy. Put a Christmas spin on your nickname (demonstrated by moi), post on this thread with it, along with your old NN so we can see how clever you've been

Then we'll create a shortlist (judges decision is final ) and a poll, and you can vote for your favourite. And since it's Christmas, there'll be a prize for 1st place and runner up

Enjoy!

UPDATE: The poll is now open - you've got until tomorrow to vote for your favourite!

At last, it's taken me 3 weeks to think of this

It's Reastie

Reastie again, slight tweak in nn there, as clearly I am never BU IMO

Very unimaginative Oh what fuckery here. Wanted Oh what fuckery it is...but thought it wasn't obvious enough. Oh, what about Oh fuckery I forgot the sprouts?

was LovesBeingHereAgain

Normally just Pudtat

ChestyNut here

Ah, that's better...

Normally moonblues. Starting to feel very Christmassy now.

Do NOT laugh at possible appearance of cheesiness here

Whilst winning a prize would be a bono (who is gonna lie and say that winning stuff is NOT naice??!) MN - or more specifically, just downright incredible and awesome MN'ers - have carried me this year when I couldn't carry myself, and offered more support and love than I would ever have believed possible from total strangers.

Three of those incredibly amazing 'strangers' are now RL and very def. 'forever' friends and, all joking vis name aside, that and ALL of the support; encouragement; and the 'day in and day out' love that I have now been fortunate enough to have had for over 7 months since my OP still just blows me away.

I am not someone who thought I would ever need the help of strangers, but I did; and when I posted the OP referred to above I really was at absolute rock-bottom. So, whilst I know it's not quite the intention of this thread, I AM gonna use it to just shout out to ALL of the simply incredible TeamAM that YOU really are the best gift I have ever been lucky enough to receive.
