DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY FA LA LA LA LA..LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Whaaaaat?

Am astonsihed at you WWB. The gifts you receive from your MIL are part of the Mumsnet Christmas tradition!

I love Christmas, DG. I really do (MIL's gifts notwithstanding).

I just prefer to keep it to December rather than starting in September!

Oh Yes

I agree - no Xmas talk until Dec

agree( alhtough am guilty fo reading thebuggers)

but we have an christmas topic now!!!

in fact swap without chat with without christmas

WWW - I'm very happy for you that you can start your Christmas preperations in December.

We have to buy cards to send abroad - which if we realisticly want them to get there in time for Christmas will have to be sent by the beginning of November.

Plus we have 2 birthday and a wedding anniversary at the end of November/beginning of December. And we rely pretty heavily on DH's bonuses......if he doesn't get it (which it looks like he probably wont' at the end of this month, or November) then we have to plan well in advance or there'll be no Christmas......

actually for without chat and without buying and selling

dh bought some mince pies from Sainsbury's last week fgs

it reminds me of my mum no sooner was one meal over and she was worrying about the next ditto christmas

this (might) be my first chilstmas with a child so can I have an "Etra christmas" button please. (Though quite happy for it to appear from Dec 1st only)
