FalconFN Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've got the eggs and I've hidden little chocolate bunnies all around the garden and, in the morning, I'm decorating eggs. I'm soooo excited I just love Easter. It's just not Christmas yet, although I might feel a little more festive when it's cold enough to wear a jumper.

Willxx Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'd leave it and not bother (and often did before child came along!) but little one is 8 now and getting excited so mummy has told her we will put the decorations up when she can start her advent calendar so next week for me!

Vince Green Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I like it because its the only time of the year when I can shut the door and let the rest of the world go by. Sleep late, watch TV in the afternoon and the odd glass or two of wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Ah a grinch is among us, embrace it fenboy, I really don't understand the dislike of Christmas, food, beer, wine, excited children, people are actually nice to each other in the build up, the pubs are more jovial....great stuff. Hangovers / squits stressed mrs and kids , all the best stuff on telly xmas day when you cant watch it cause you have a house full (yes I know about sky plus but I am a tight wad , plus it costs me the price of a decent gun every year ! whats to like :unsure: Having said that its better now the kids are grown up and I dont spend all my xmas day putting poxy stickers on the latest barbie doll camper van or horse trailer etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Im in the grinch camp, Havnt enjoyed it for years so i dont bother, easier for me as i live on me own, i send cards but thats it, stopped sending prezzies as it was getting silly, spending money you havnt got on things people dont want just because its Christmas.

CZ550Kevlar Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Got the decorations out today from the loft but they aren`t going up until second week in december, the only reason they came out today is because my daughter has a wooden train advent calendar which has numbered drawers that you fill with sweets so she enjoyed packing it tight with sweets.

Bagsy Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 One house in our street had decorations up on Halloween which truly shocked everyone - another put external decorations up two weeks ago. I really struggle to get into the festive spirit in mid NOVEMBER :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margun Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I noticed a few houses already looking like the front of an Audi. Have heard a couple of Xmas songs on the wireless too Whilst I love Christmas and am no scrooge, there's something fundamentally naff about having decorations up before December. Ours will go up next weekend probably, but here's something for Kyska which should help usher in the Xmas spirit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qr-Y8aiHDg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelongwayup Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Ours normally go up 2nd week of december or when i've been up the farm to cut a tree down. We used to have one in the house till I saw one go up in seconds a long time back. Now it sits outside on the patio. Downside - No Christmas tree smell...Upside - I can cut a bigger tree. Think last years was over 24 foot tall and dressed with lights. Can't beat walking through a plantation past the usual 8 footers straight to the big ones with a chainsaw. Downside is getting the bloody thing out once it hits the deck. As much as I also enjoy Christmas, I do think november is a bit early too.

jacksdad Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I'm not bothering, I don't bother with my religion for any other part of the year so why christmas? :blink: Anyway, I can't afford it, a bit like my pension contributions........

Bloke Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I don't put the decorations up till the week before Christmas, and take them down after the twelve days are done. Quiet time really, just me and my daughter, writing the cards next week. Can't even have a huge meal, (medical ********* diet!!), watching a few films (Not the **** on the telly), allowed a couple of beers over the week, so nothing too special. Not a grinch, just don't really get into the xmas thing since the kids grew up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_evil Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Xmas doesnt start til the first inch of snow falls We didn't bother with a tree last year or the year before and the year before that we were in malta so no tree there just sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
