I came up Consummate delegator but as DH is a christmas control freak it's not surprsing

Military planner - that was quite fun!

Climbontoyourseahorse · 21/12/2015 08:13

Last minute pull it together, very true this year as its the first Christmas in our new house and I still have lots to do.

angiehoggett · 21/12/2015 08:14

Military Planner - I definitely plan to the Nth degree!

clarem100 · 21/12/2015 08:59

I'm a Consummate delegator

ohhelpohnoitsa · 21/12/2015 09:15

I got 'first time thrower'which is far from true but I do like doing things my way and disposing of the bits I don't like. The quiz was too limiting as others have said. NONE of those items was a step too far for me!!!!!! Can I really get Christmas bleach????? How has this bypassed me

SuzCG · 21/12/2015 09:20

Last Minute Pull It Together - which does sum up my attitude to Christmas. I'm a firm believer that it's about the people, not the huge amount of detail we're expected to get tangled up in. Christmas is time with family for me!

MiniLop · 21/12/2015 09:38

Consummate delegator. Load of rubbish, I've done all the planning and will do all the cooking and probably clearing up too!! Agree with PPs, some questions had no answers that suited me just had to pick one!

katieskatie82 · 21/12/2015 10:20

Military Planner apparently! lol

jakesmum1179 · 21/12/2015 10:24

I got Last minute pull-it-together? Umm I start planning Christmas in January!

gregorsmummy · 21/12/2015 10:47

Military Operator!

I love Christmas and really plan it so we can all enjoy it and I am not hiding in the kitchen sobbing over the gravy! My favourite day is actually Boxing Day when we can all slob out in our pyjamas, eat crap and watch bad movies!

sarah3875 · 21/12/2015 11:43

Consummate delegator- hmmmm!! To a degree I suppose.

Weloveoptimus · 21/12/2015 12:15

Last minute pull it together.
It's true! In October I have smug moments because I have bought most of the presses. At the mo, I'm mumsnetting and making a last minute list because there's lots I need to buy....
Merry Christmas Internet buddies x

nicctaylor · 21/12/2015 12:54

First-time thrower. Although its not my first time, however I tend to go with whatever goes and don't try to be 'perfect'. Its much more fun to go with the flow.

Kajamite · 21/12/2015 13:04

Military Operator. Couldn't be further from the truth! Grin

Same as everyone else really, there were hardly any questions with appropriate answers

abbaroony · 21/12/2015 13:08

Apparently I'm a 'first time thrower' which is kind of accurate as I've never hosted Christmas, but I'm not going to this year either!

carpathian · 21/12/2015 13:08

Last minute pull-it-together apparently im actually quite organised but we always just go with the flow and don't sweat the shop bought mince pies lol

Butteredparsnips · 21/12/2015 13:12

Military Operator Here. Although I very definitely did not start planning in January. Oh unless you count the napkins I bought in the sales. Xmas Smile

fitzbilly · 21/12/2015 13:15

I'm a military operator. Sounds about right! I love planning events

RingDownRingUp · 21/12/2015 13:24

Military operator. So far from the truth!

introspect · 21/12/2015 13:59

Consummate delegator, sounds about right Wink

Rigbyroo · 21/12/2015 14:22

First time thrower! Nope-just pretty relaxed about it all and want to enjoy it.

MrWriter · 21/12/2015 14:47

Consummate Delegator apparently!

Jetcatisback · 21/12/2015 15:09

Consummate Delegator, though as I'm the only adult, not sure it's wise to delegate too much!

FoofFighter · 21/12/2015 15:43

Ummm nope!

Last minute pull-it-together - You've never made a to-do list in your life and you're not about to start at Christmas time. Your preparation is so last minute you end up saving money as everything's discounted. And somehow - to the chagrin of some relatives who secretly would love to see you fail - you manage to throw an amazing party that everyone enjoys, including yourself as you haven't been fretting about it for the past few months.

compltely opposite of the above, I think I might have broken the quiz.... sorry MNHQ
