Is it too soon for the christmas Smilies?

[dizzydixies]

it IS the 1st after all

I'm just trying to maintain standards.

Think M&S tasteful christmas approach (no models in underwear mind) rather than Iceland-prawn-party-ring-gurning-Jason-Donovan-lean-in-and-have-another-slice-of-blackforest-gateaux overindulgence.

MNHQ, can we have a bah humbug smiley too please?

so we're talking Waitrose as opposed to Lidl's Christmas standard here then

there has to be a quote of the week in there somewhere

I tell you the Iceland Prawn Party ring IS the perfect metaphor of choice emoticon for this place sometimes.

[feisty]

On the other thread about this, HelenMumsnet says 'in a couple of weeks', so maybe Slubber has more influence than you think....

you'll be waltzing through the baby names board calling everyone's choices chavvy next

wash your mouth out, this isn't babycentre a ticker filled forum you know

was there another thread sorry!

dixie - I have baby names hidden for that very reason

rusty I knew it!!! me and the mnhq have an unspoken telepathic standards link. I've know this for quite some time [utterly deluded yet happy]

OF COURSE I mean the mnhq persons and I

good grief

tee hee hee - off to pedants corner with you, don't pass Iceland and don't collect a prawn party ring as you go

Would you like a bit of cheese and pineapple on a stick for the journey?

cheeky cows

Steady on, steady on, folks!

We'll be unwrapping the Christmas emoticons in a couple of weeks' time.

They're going to be around right up till 12th Night (Jan 6th), so we don't want to let them out too early - nothing worse than premature emoticonation, you know...

Hello Helen, will we have a bah humbug emoticon? Very useful

The bah humbug smiley could be a stripy sheep.

Helen - will our Christmas present finally be a webchat with Graham Norton [still hopeful emoticon]

one less day to wait but still a couple of weeks [sigh]

I suppose it's a delayed gratification thing - we'll appreciate them more when they arrive. Like RL Christmas pesents I suppose

C'mon, it's Advent, surely we can have the Christmas smilies now.....

well done Mistletoe - welcome to the cause

Hello MisletoeMonster , what smilies would you like to see for Christmas?

I had a cow in my advent calendar this morning. I am confused. Although this is nothing unusual.

MNHQ - please do not include a cow in the Christmas smilies. But pleeeease do work on the bah humbug one

cakeywakey I think they're ignoring us now [meep]

I prefer to think that they are pretending to ignore us - a bit like parents do when their kids start making lists from the Argos catalogue - to make the unveiling of the spangly seasonal smilies more fun when it happens. Or something along those lines anyway.

Wondering if we could have a Christmas Pudding icon to signify [gluttony] too please? I would think a [greedy emoticon] would be extreeeeeeemly useful, non?
