Christmas is coming !!!

In this house any mention of Christmas is banned until after the annual Street fair during the second week in November - I just wish the rest of the country would conform.

Save your winnings for Christmas presents!!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but b*****r off!
You take your life in your hands mentioning the 'C' word on Gransnet before November

Juggernaut, I'd like to tell them where to stick their catalogues etc.

I'd happily do away with Christmas altogether for anyone over the age of 10.

I think it should be every 5 years, then Wow what a celebration it would be!!!
Having it every year causes debt, stress, arguements, family strife, over eating and drinking, loneliness and sometimes ungrateful children.
The meaning is lost on many and it should be a time of peace and goodwill.
The churches could still hold their special services for those who celebrate for the birth christ.

Don't even think of doing away with 'C*******s', it's my favourite time of the year, but only from November onwards!
I love every second of it and am like a big kid!

I love it too, just not in August! (or September, October and November ?)

Well I have everything bought except the 4 GC.s presents ,and thats just because they change their minds all the time about what they like .I love Christmas too Kathsue and I like to be organised for it as I have about 25 people to buy for .I'm going down a different route with cases of wine for couples this year instead of individual gifts like perfume or books etc .

kathsue , you are my kinda lady.

paddyann what a good idea!

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
I love Christmas but November is quite early enough.
Hate all the charity stuff that tries to make you feel guilty if you don’t buy the cards they have sent or you use the free pen and labels. I send them back unopened as ‘not required ‘‘ and give to my chosen charities throughout the year.

I'd like to tell them where to stick their catalogues etc

Where are they going to stick the £20 note? Or are they non-returnable?
