Six months

I thought I was a bit crazy thinking of Christmas in the summer - but my thoughts are about choice of music for my singing group. Ordering the music and making sure it is adapted to suit our amateur singers takes time and we start to learn the songs at about the end of September.

I buy cards and wrapping in Jauary sales but I certainly don't get excited at the thought of the day. We will either be 3 or 5 adults as usual so pretty boring.

Snap! I got some great bargains in the January sales. I also have all my cards, wrapping paper etc for the next few C**********.

Me too Marydoll . I started in the January sales and have almost all of the C*******s presents sorted now.

I already have some C****** presents stashed away.

Pah to all you Johnny-Come-Latelys - my oldest son has been telling me about his festive plans for 2018!

We are booked in for Christmas Dinner -13 of us and its the only pub in the village ....

DDiL has started her countdown to C*******s on Facebook today. She does this every year and it drives me and her many friends absolutely crazy!

Katek as you're in the Performing Arts you can be forgiven!

I've just booked the tickets for the C*********s panto. If you don't book early, you don't get good seats!

Casting Panto this afternoon......

I've done the budget for it.

Blimey Teetime how much does your hair-do cost?

nina that would be too soon!

Lillie I could happily wait another 5 yrs for C*******s to come round again

Can't wait, but won't be really getting into it until September time.

Bookings for C*******s meals being taken at local hotel .....

Good grief lets just enjoy the Summer please

I've done the budget for it.

STOP NOW !!!!

Oh stop stop, blow your hairdresser I don't want to think about it for another five months at the very least

Oh Teetime pleeeeeese. How can you be thinking about that?
Tinsel and trees and gifts. Relax and enjoy Sunday!
