Alexikokopops Posted 23 October 2008 Posted 23 October 2008 9 weeks today. It's my first Christmas since moving out. Think I'm seeing the parents though so should get something. Probably furniture.
Dr The Singh Posted 23 October 2008 Posted 23 October 2008 Really? Doing what? I dunno, he often says that his back side is hurting and it's alot of hard work!!!
AoWW Posted 23 October 2008 Posted 23 October 2008 This is quite true. The santa in the new one is really freaky. It is blatantly CGI in so many ways but from certain angles it looks real. Its scary, i dont like it. Oh stuff it il admit im excited too what does everyone think they are getting? or want to get? Shiny new sports car, please. Don't worry, I won't expect you to wrap it.
Bert Posted 23 October 2008 Posted 23 October 2008 It's not Christmas until the Coca Cola advert comes on. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6h1zLu8SIVUTHE best Coca Cola advert of all time. Amen to that brothers. I don't start generally thinking about Christmas until mid November really. I really enjoy the christmas period though, even now I'm not a kid anymore. But for me there's nothing better than seeing your loved ones happy, and being with them.
CKB Posted 24 October 2008 Posted 24 October 2008 See i like Christmas..BUT i don't get into the spirit at least a week before it, i usually do all my shopping like a week before it aswell

I remember starting a thread a few years ago with the VERY same title in mid November time. It died on it's arse. Bloody fickle'uns. Anyway, yeh, I love getting gifts etc (who doesn't?!) but it genuinely is the family aspect of it that I love. Which is also a reason why it has gone downhill for me in recent years.

Is that because you're "lost..." and can't find them?
Libertine Posted 24 October 2008 Posted 24 October 2008 Is that because you're "lost..." and can't find them? No it's because they're dead.
samlcfc Posted 24 October 2008 Posted 24 October 2008 it made me laugh wen they started stocking things for Christmas at sainsburys where i work at the end of September. wen I sed summit bout it they sed "its only 12 weeks away" that's like a quarter of a year ffs
CKB Posted 24 October 2008 Posted 24 October 2008 Welcome to the male way of life. I was trying to sound like an impressive male, so everyone would stop and go wait i wanna be like that Man and stand up and make a change to themselfs! i wanted to make a difference, yes a change! (feels like i'm about to go into Rocky 4 speech mode here) So anyhow as i can't be assed and i wanna be a true caveman style male can i now proceed to unbutton my jeans, fart, burp and maybe even toss off to some extremly hardcore porn? all at the same time of course and i'll fit in the Christmas shopping aswell

Many people spread their Christmas buying over a period and it's no use getting stock in when others have already started attracting the customers and taking their money. With higher priced items people often put a deposit down and pay over a period, especially in today's climate. He who snoozes loses.

AoWW Posted 2 November 2008 Posted 2 November 2008 Driving home from Leicester at about 4.30 this morning and I past a house with full-on Christmas lights and 'ornaments' in the front garden. I honestly thought I must have fallen asleep and be dreaming it so I rubbed my eyes but, no, it was still there in it's neon-bright techni-colour glory. It's only the beginning of November, ffs!

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 2 November 2008 Posted 2 November 2008 I hate people that go o.t.t with the Christmas lights.
Samilktray Posted 2 November 2008 Posted 2 November 2008 Its fooking cold this year. If it continues right up until Christmas i'm gonna be royally pissed off.
AoWW Posted 2 November 2008 Posted 2 November 2008 Its fooking cold this year.If it continues right up until Christmas i'm gonna be royally pissed off. Up to March, I reckon.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 2 November 2008 Posted 2 November 2008 Its fooking cold this year.If it continues right up until Christmas i'm gonna be royally pissed off. I can deal with the cold, it's the wind and rain that I hate.
Samilktray Posted 2 November 2008 Posted 2 November 2008 Up to March, I reckon. March. I hope thats a sick and twisted joke. And to Nihat I prefer the cold to wet and windy aswell, its just I dont particularly like either.
Uncle Albert Posted 2 November 2008 Posted 2 November 2008 It's the most wonderful time of the year... I agree with Simon on the first page, its only Christmas when the Coca-Cola advert is on our screens.
Guest Posted 2 November 2008 Posted 2 November 2008 I love Xmas, I love it, love it, love it! Are we having an FT Crimbo party, or what?
