Christmas Countdown - Mumsnet's top ten threads of the year

[AMyrryChristmasToAllMumsnet]

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without lengthy television programmes counting down the year's best and worst moments. Here at MNHQ we're compiling a countdown you'll actually enjoy - the ten best Mumsnet threads of the year.

The task is far too important for us to take on alone, so we're turning to you for help. Let us know which have been your favourite threads this year - for making you laugh, cry or showing the best side of Mumsnet. We'll also ask folks in the Towers what they think, and create a page of the some of the MN highlights of the year.

We're already looking forward to seeing what you'll come up with!

[AMyrryChristmasToAllMumsnet]

We're loving these threads, they are definitely helping us through the painful stupor post-Christmas party.

Get any last nominations in soon as we'll be drawing up our shortlist imminently!

Oh EMINs thread(s) were very sad.

[LadyBeagleEyes]

The postman, the Very Important Letter, Nazis and sexy postmen in shorts.
It was very entertaining, it was only a month or so ago.

[OodKingWenceslas]

The police car on the drive was quite fun.

[FruOla]

I think the police car on the drive thread has gone. The OP probably posted it in Chat, so it's now disappeared. But, I agree, it was rather funny!

[SauceForTheGander]

I have just spent an entire morning catching up on 2013. I was meant to be wrapping presents and finding a dress. Curse you mumsnet!

[YoniMatopoeia]

Oh. Will think about this one

[wavesandsmiles]

Waves at thekitchenfairy I'm still about, although I keep a lower profile now as a particular person is still online stalking me. Acrobat is nearly 5 months now and so so lovely. He still sleeps every night with his gorgeous MN blanket

It was quite surreal updating the thread from the delivery room and so brilliant to be able to update everyone when he finally arrived, felt like I had hundreds of virtual birth partners. Everyone was so brilliant

[FruOla]

Just remembered another one. Technically it doesn't count, because it was posted in September 2012 - but the fashionistas in the taxi queue was utterly hilarious www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1560709-To-be-annoyed-that-taxi-ranks-dont-let-families-in-first

[BlondieTinsellyMinx]

I just read Graeme the budgie! Utterly hilarious!

Cailleach's orphaned kittens thread - she found six tiny flea ridden kittens in November, waited 3 hours for any sign of the mother, then took them home.
Cailleach hand reared them, getting up during the night to see to them, and kept us updated on their progress with fab pics and videos. Five of them survived - she and her family are keeping one, three have been adopted by MNers through the thread. Fudge, the cute black one, is still looking for a home....

[FruOla]

NaturalBaby, I've linked to the Gluezilla threads upthread a wee bit - you'll find them at FruOla Mon 16-Dec-13 07:41:19

[NaturalBaby]

Fab, thanks FruOla

[RustyBear]

I'm surprised no-one's linked to the official final countdown yet...

[KungFuBustle]

Thanks MNHQ
That made my day.

[CatherineMumsnet]
