When will we get the <looks around nervously in fear of own life and whispers> Christmas section?

[QueenBhannae]

I await death threats from fellow mumsnetters for even thinking about typing the C word, let alone starting a thread requesting a whole section!

I just know that there are others out there as anal organised about Christmas that would love to see the section on the go...

I should have namechanged ( with a santa hat on)

Aaaaaaarrrrghhhhhh! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! It's not even Halloween!!!!!!!

There, I thought I'd be the 1st to say it
lol

hmm we were thinking Oct for the topic (which can, of course, be hidden). Would that be ok?

Bugger orf you Christmas-loving freaks!

I refuse to think about my maternity leave ending Christmas

Can't we wait until after Halloween?

Advent calendars already in M&S, even the small food branches

Fer Gawd's sake, they've only just gone back to school!! Do you people enjoy wishing your lives away? No sane human being needs to do anything about Christmas until December 1st, and even that is being organised.

But why do you need to? I don't get it!!

We was in holiday in Cornwall last week and saw a shop putting up christmas decorations - that really takes the piss when your on your 'summer' holiday

I had a nightmare last night where I woke up on Christmas morning and hadn't wrapped the presents - started wrapping them and realised that although I had most of the stocking presents, I didn't have any extras for DS and no main presents for them or anyone else. Rushed out to shops (which were open in my dream!) and had to do my shopping at around 10am on Xmas morning - couldn't find any toy shops, cd or book shops and my legs kept getting heavier and heavier. Before I woke up I remember looking at my watch and it was 11.15 and I was wondering how I was going to cook the turkey!

Not sure if this dream is simply about getting organised for Christmas (in Sept!!!) or about lots of other stuff that is worrying me!

Oct is good Justine! 1st I assume?

Lady Penelope - your dream was an indication that you are subconciously worried that the MN Xmas topic is not up and running yet to help you with ideas and suggestions and recipies and and and and....!

Last year I found MN a wealth of helpful information about Xmas. Especially the thread where people recommended on-line sites for gifts. Did a huge amount of my shopping in one morning while sat at home with tea and toast!
