Why talk about xmas in September!

It’s the same on MN BTW - there’s a very active Christmas thread on there, and yet the other day someone still came on to a dedicated thread to have a good old moan about anyone mentioning it in September at all.

I don’t know about anyone else, but to me the year positively whizzes by once we’re into late September, and I no longer want to be doing and buying everything during the last 3 weeks or so - as I once did, usually including a major wrapping session around midnight on the 24th.

Blossomingcouldn't help myself could I? its other people's stress about it in September!!

And Galaxy is right- if you don't book certain things ahead they get full up quickly.

Blossoming-???

I love christmas- its just all the prep/wrapping/planning i dislike.?I always get mini mince pies as soon as they come out, as to me, that, and the start of xmas movies channel, is where it begins! Then i make my lists and collect gifts till december.So i don't go too OTT. But then december flies by and ive to do all the wrapping in a hurry! ?

Why not just ignore any C-word related posts if they bother you, especially any on the dedicated C-word thread? Some of us do like it, and start preparing early, especially if we’re making things/preparing food etc. well in advance, or if we have a lot of presents to buy.

I get fed up with all the (to me) very tedious threads banging on about Boris/Brexit/Tories/Boris/Brexit/Tories so despite being a Remainer and certainly no fan of Boris, I generally ignore them. Or at least I don’t comment to say I wish people would refrain from posting them.

If you can’t stand chat about Christmas why have you started a chat thread about Christmas chat?

To be honest if I didnt have some discussion in Sept about Christmas, the activities that I want to book would all be booked up.

Not at all. Popped into my local food store yesterday evening. Big display of mince pies by the till. The young assistant and I exchanged looks. I know ... , he said wearily.

But it's a case of live and let live isnt it?

It's annoying isn't it Bea. I love Christmas but don't think about it until December.
