    How cool is it talking about Christmas trees in August?!! If you mention Christmas to 'normal' people now, they just groan!!
    That's why I love this forum! :D

    I posted a picture of some Christmas lights on my facebook page last year on November 29th or 30th and all I got were people saying 'Ugh, it's waaaay to early for Christmas lights!' :rolleyes:

    How is 3 weeks to Christmas week too early for Christmas?! Those are the kind of people who end up buying all their presents on Christmas Eve. :p

    Oh God buying all your presents on Christmas eve is for kamikazes!
    Christmas Eve is for relaxing and soaking up the atmosphere not running around town, like a headless turkey!

    Went into BT Christmas Shop yesterday - had to be dragged out. But managed to get the dotiest decoration of Santa & Reindeers :D
    There's a Dolls House.....a musical one....almost burst into tears...the sales lady sidled over and said "I'm guessing you never had one as a kid....."

    There's also a full-sized musical telly for a grand....contemplated raiding the Credit Union for a second...:o

    It was quite cold today, so I decided to make blackberry muffins with blackberries I picked. Used cinnamon in them, it always reminds me of Christmas. So I snuggled up by the fire with one and a cup of tea. Felt, smelled and tasted like Christmas :)

    Unreal isn't it, this year is going so fast!! Can't believe how fast!! Loving the cold weather at the moment as well, the idea of hot chocolates and getting all snuggled up for the cold winter nights ahead is very appealing!! :D

    Funny I was in the post office today, and the lady behind the counter was talking to the lady in front of me and saying ''it's only 96 days till Christmas, how depressing''. My brain must be wired different then most people, because that thought is the total opposite of depressing to me :P

    Were they old, people signify Christmas with the passing of another year and the realization that another year has slipped them by. It can be a very daunting thought for some people. Other people don't like Christmas as it's a very expensive time of year.

    I'm wired like you irishbarb I don't find that fact one bit depressing at all, bring on Christmas, I love the build up to it!! :D

    Oh and Nerdkiller, I think you may have the wrong forum!

    And what great input you had into the conversation. :rolleyes:

    This isn't a place for Christmas haters at all, I think you'll find After Hours is more YOUR kind of place!

    Goodbye, god bless and a Merry Christmas to you! :pac:

    Now come on, I love the Christmas season. Early nights, bright lights, prezzies galore, that picture was just for the laugh, but I guess I can never have a second first impression.

    I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over many Christmasses. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you start getting excited for Christmas right now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will force you to watch Christmas movies 24/7 until Christmas Day.

    Ahhh, good. We'll start with The Santa Clause, Miracle on 34th Street, Joyeux Noel, Home Alone and It's a Wonderful Life. If we've got time left over, we might riff on Santa Claus Conquers the Martins and Santa's Slay with Bill Goldberg. Now get back to Taken 2, already.

    anyone else think that the change in weather (a bit cooler) and the dark nights and dark mornings are making it feel a little christmassy :o

    Had the fire on last night and was curled up on the couch all I needed was the tree, few Christmas lights and a few Christmas adverts on the box :P

    Ps. 94 days :)
