The 2009 Christmas Countdown

So he says.

Everything under your tree will still be gone by the morning of the 25th.

NOOOOOO 

Had my first Christmas Card this morning.

Less than 7 weeks to go now.

WTF?  Who sent you that?  I always get early ones from Counsellors and the local church, but not that early 

The lady that delivers the Kleeneze Catalogue  :

    

Are any Christmas lights and decorations up around anyone yet?  I met a friend for lunch yesterday just off Carnaby Street, and they've got some really good ones again.  Lots of huge inflatable shapes with LOVE, PEACE, HOPE and stuff printed on them and multi coloured christmas trees hanging everywhere.  On Carnaby Street itself they have hung up two massive bright pink inflatable reindeer.  They actually look boss head on to be fair, until you walk past them, and turn around and see where the blow up hole is.  Charming   They could have put the holes underneath

Are any Christmas lights and decorations up around anyone yet? 

They've already got the lights up that go across the avenue here. Too soon I say.

When does everyone put their decorations up then?

We usually do it a week/two weeks before.

There's always some that do it around this time though which in my opinion is stupid - too early!

There's a house right next to the train station that I get on at to go to Uni which always goes to town on the decorations. Great laugh it is - the house is literally covered in fake snow, there's a huge sledge thing on the roof, lights all over the trees, garden and roof, hundreds of objects stuck to the brick walls, any Christmas object under the sun.

I don't.

There's always one isn't there that goes completely over the top  

I usually put mine up 2 weeks before Christmas, and leave them up till Epiphany.

I don't.

Bah Humbug !!

Ive got Christmas day off and that's it. Ba Humbug.

We have three weeks off home on the 22nd School starts again on the 11th Jan.
Decorations ? Normally its just before christmas and then taken down on the 6th Jan, 12 days after Christmas Day !
Where we used to live in the u.k there was always a battle to be the first to put up the decs on the 1st dec ! now its started to creap around to the 25th Nov F.F.S !
talking of Cristmas cards and kleaneze , I've just walked back from the car garage where I'm having my damage assessed and a little Pink Ford KA passed me with the word TUPPERWARE  on it I'm in Spain for crying out loud !

Is it me or does November seem to be going ridiculously quickly? Soon we will be 20 odd days away from Christmas

I normally put them up around 6th/7th December, makes the house look nice 


Few years back, I was driving along East Prescot Road  (opposite Burger King) and there was a house there that had put cotton wool over the entire front lawn to make it look like snow     You should of seen it a couple of weeks later after rain, hail etc and being on the main road it was also covered with sh*te off the passing traffic....very attractive I must say.....not. 

Christmas decorations! I bought toilet paper with tiny snowmen on today!!!! Maybe not that christmassy, but they do have santa caps on! AND they looked very, uhm, jolly. Cause thats what you're like during christmas. Jolly.

(Should this be in the random comment thread instead?)

Eitherway, my lovely toilet paper made me realise christmas is not that far away. And just yesterday i thought the frost came pretty early this year! So, now I'm a bit.............jolly.






What a disgusting word!!

I can just imagine a snowman in a Santa's hat covered in crap!        Sorry Watt.
