Tomorrow..... 1st of November!

CarrieAnne

So fellow Christmas lovers...

I have to say visiting this site has been a blessing.
Reading and relating to others who love the season year round.
(My H is anti Christmas until December and can't understand AND WON'T ACCEPT or ALLOW that i could start with music and movies easily in September!)

BUT
Tomorrow is the 1st of November and from then on I speak freely and with joy of the coming Christmas Season!!!! With no apology.....

What is your "day" when you feel free in public to talk about the C word.

Have to agree once the annoyance of halloween is over its full steam ahead

My manager has already banned me from talking about Christmas things

Was just in a 24 hour Tesco. They were taking down the Halloween decorations and putting up the Christmas ones all around the store. The area around the tills looked very festive already. The girl on the tills said the whole store will be decorated for Christmas by the time the morning shift team come in. The music was tested earlier tonight but she said "hope not" when I asked her if they would be playing carols etc from tomorrow. "The little things that makes Christmas" seems to be the dominant slogan this year.

Yes, this is it.
Halloween is over, it's time to get CHRISTMASSY!!!

The awkward moment when you sing christmas songs 3 months early

Posy

Try 6 months early.

I suppose what's nice in America is you get the build up to Halloween, then HALLOWEEN.
Then they have a month build up to Thanksgiving, then THANKSGIVING.
Then it's the build up to Christmas and then CHRISTMAS!

Over here it's more like build build build build build, okay come on, when's it getting here and THEN it's Christmas. Basically we need a holiday inbetween now and Christmas to keep our festive minds active :P

Had the Christmas songs on in the car on the way to work today.

Y'know, just making sure the playlists are still working.

absolutely NOT.

the build up to Christmas is better than Christmas Day itself.

I cannot imagine having a turkey at the end of November and not having one for Christmas. Thanksgiving RUINS Christmas.

All energies should be put directly into Christmas.

Sitting here listening to Xmas music

I was listening to the same song a few weeks ago and my said "no more" until December, but we compromised on November, I wouldn't be able to wait until Dec!

Cannot wait for Xmas

Posy

I love November!!

poppet84

So excited! he weather really makes it feel like Christmas!!

It's my first year in my own place with the boyfriend so I'm so looking forward to having my own tree, although will miss my parents house traditions in the run up to Christmas. My parents are made into it too..even more so since the all grandkids came along !!they are so cute!!

Can't wait for the christmas music to start on sky music channels!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas doesn't start until the 10th of December for me,too bloody early having decorations out in November.

Nope, Christmas stuff in already in the stores, pre-Halloween! Just gets more intense after Halloween. And Thanksgiving does *not* ruin Christmas in anyway! I look at it as my halfway point to Christmas (I start getting excited Nov 1) or where it is more socially acceptable to talk about it amongst family and friends.

Why would you not have a turkey for Christmas if you had one at Thanksgiving? You can have whatever you want, really. I eat ham on Thanksgiving.

You might be in the wrong forum here if that's your opinion.

I moved into a new place at the start of the year and its has a kinda bay window alcove thing. Since February I've been dying to put my tree up cause I reckon it will be lovely in there!

How early is too early for the tree? Shopping centre near me has decs up already

Played Elmo's Christmas Countdown for my babies....
and they loved it, and so did I!

My four year old has realised her Dad is not ready for Christmas talk yet...
so sings Jingle Bells to him and runs away giggling!

suomi

I've seen lots of people put up their Christmas lights in the past couple of days, they must've been waiting for the 1st of November too. I might put up some lights too this weekend. And candles, lots of candles. :cool:

Only a teeny bit? Call yourself a Christmas fan!!! :pac:

full steam ahead with the Christmas planning, prep etc

Posy

Oh, don't worry. Teeny bit was more than a slight exaggeration.
