I’m sorry! Don’t yell at me!

I can’t help it I get to excited... does anyone else start preparations in September? Or is it just me? Making my list and checking it twice (see what I did there?) baking that Christmas cake, deciding how to outdo the neighbours

anyone else?

Me too!!! I am a Christmas fairy! I eat sleep and breath Christmas. Just for a short while the world is a warmer place and people smile and say hello again, the fires and hot chocolate and the beautiful decorated (NOT TACKY) tree

I love it but because I work in retail the shine has been taken off it a little bit.

I'm going to do a cake this year, oh forgot last here.

September is too early for me though, I like to get my daughter's birthday out of the way before I start lists and stuff!

I don't hold with this taboo about planing for xmas early. There are many out there on a tight budget and they have to spread the cost. Its just not right to berate or neg people out for planing ahead.

Same for me.

I come from a huge family (grandparents had 14 children), Christmas is the time of year a lot of us get together, some in other cities come down to visit and it’s like a week of celebration right up to New Year, it’s amazing.

I guess those with less family or family they don’t see/speak to often are the ones who don’t understand.

Same for me.

I guess those with less family or family they don’t see/speak to often are the ones who don’t understand.

Or those with terrible family are already steeling themselves for the pain. "

Maybe so.

Point still stands that those with less family or family they don’t have contact with may not understand the excitement for such a time of year.

Doesn’t mean people don’t have other exciting things to look forward to.

I understand. I just wish there were more space for the voices of those who suffer at Christmas.

I’m sure everyone is sorry about all those things but what is it today with people always trying to steal everyone else’s happiness because of “other” people’s misfortunes? yes I’m sorry for each and every one of those unfortunate people at Christmas but I’ll be damned if it’s going to put a dampener on MY OWN PERSONAL Christmas just as I’m sure most other happy people who have commented will agree. I have lived through some fucked up shit and for my age been to more funerals than I should ever have to. But I’m still here I’m still smiling and I’m still trying and still looking forward to a wonderful time of year. My misfortunes are my own and one day, I will conquer them, no1 else need know.

So... you get to be smug and self congratulatory?

Like say each to their own but in my view there is something seriously lacking in your life if you spend a quater of the year looking forward to Christmas. I'm not sure how a wonderful family and beautiful home negates that but like I say each to their own

Given that the sone of the negativity on this thread is people commenting that it is maybe a little early for this thread and that the confrontational posts appear to be your responses to those who haven't agreed with you I think maybe you are the one putting a dampener on thibgs

I hate Xmas. My son died 4 days before, it's a rough time of yr. I try to just avoid it where possible and join in when I have to, to avoid spoiling others fun.

But it's fucking September. 1 day of the yr does not need to take over 4 months early.

How do you manage to come to that conclusion?

If you look forward to a holiday whether it’s Christmas, Easter or Diwali it doesn’t mean you aren’t looking forward to anything else.

It’s quite easy to look forward to several things at once you know?

Maybe Christmas is negative for you and that’s why you can’t understand why others look forward to it early.

How many of us book holidays a year or more in advance and look forward to them? Likely lots of us, that doesn’t mean we have things lacking in our life.

Or maybe, just maybe we are all different.

Getting excited about a certain time of year, doesn’t mean there’s nothing else exciting going on in our lives.

Couldn’t agree more.

We’re often made to feel as though there’s something wrong with looking forward to Christmas. Well there isn’t. Happy childhood, fabulous memories, special and magical. I understand it’s not the same for everyone but it doesn’t mean it’s wrong to enjoy that particular time of year.

Some people count down and look forward to summer ... I think that’s weird and if you only enjoy summer then the rest of your year must be awful. I don’t really think that but you get the point

Whoever said it wasn’t? If it ain’t your bag or cup of tea then why the heck come into the thread and comment? Seriously you say that “we” who start planning Xmas are devoid of a life and this and that well I say you must have a pretty crap life to also think that way, tit for tat and all that, if it ain’t what your into don’t comment and try to take away any one else’s thunder. You just come across as a troll.. and everyone can see

So you started a thread asking if it was just you that started getting excited for Christmas in the summer and because I don't I'm a troll?

And because I disagreed quite politely I'm stealing your thunder (which is a choice of words that pretty much vindicates my comment that perhaps 3 1/2 months out you need something else in your life to get excited about).

I never said anything about those who are planning fir Christmas, plenty of people already are and I get that. You asked about excited and that was where my derision was aimed. I get that people are planning and I get that people are potentially already looking forward to Christmas but excited about it? In September? Like I said personally i cant help but think you need to find something else to he excited about. It almost comes across as overcompensating...

You said in your opening post about outdoing the neighbours, I assumed that was tongue in cheek buy given some of your subsequent replies (not just to me) I doubt it was and it's not just the neighbours you seem to want to out do.

Again... and? You are proving your a troll because your trying to get people’s backs up, you can clearly see from other comments you have offended more than myself.. having an opinion is fine, but you have made judgement after judgement over and over and it’s all in black and white documented above for people to read.
