When should Christmas start?

[qbman1]

You've inspired me, Spuddy, and I've done all my Christmas shopping this afternoon. Just waiting for Mr Amazon to call round now !!

Mr Amazon..aka Santa...
lolol

Hope you got lovely wrapping paper....too.
Debenhams have some good offers on...lol

If Amazon don't sell it, I don't need it. None of this Debenhams nonsense, please !!

I didn't go for gift wrapping - I only have Mrs C to buy for so I can manage that, thanks

Our home match against Arsenal has been moved to 7:45 on Boxing day evening. What's so great about that?

You'll be able to have a sleep during the afternoon ?

Probably be able to sleep through the match as well !!

But I won't be able to have a festive drink

A large brandy or Whisky helps to get through all the repeats

Best save that for later - after sitting through an Arsenal game, he'll need a large one !!

One at the start, another at half time and the third ( plus a mince pie and a cracker ) to coincide with the final whistle ... perfic . hic.

When's he going to fit his cup of Bovril and a meat pie in ?

At half time of course

I'm another who enjoys football on Boxing Day after all the excitement of Christmas Day. It's a time of relaxation for us when life returns back to normal and there's nothing better than a Boxing Day match.
Sadly some of the traditions are disappearing. On Christmas Eve there's always a peal of bells for the midnight service but sadly the village brass band no longer come round. They always used to arrive on our street about 2.00 in the morning, obviously inebriated and the worse for wear. They stood on the corner and played a couple of carols before staggering off to their next port of call. It's a shame it has now died out.

And then drive home? I think not.

I have two season tickets. Football on TV is a pale imitation.

I love Christmas and everything leading up to it it can never start too soon imo I'm already playing Xmas cd's in my car.

Can't wait for January for the Easter Eggs to be in the shops

You need treatment DQ !! A psychoanalyst's dream !

I don't mind being anyone's dream

Absolutely but on the plus side it's in the warm and comes with a Festive drink or two

Enjoy the game and good luck

Sadly, I won't be spending Christmas with QBob this year - no dressing up for him, and no footy for me !!

[suespud]

Neighbours 2 doors down have their tree up
How dare she.. we(other neighbours) agreed at my party in September we were all waiting till 28th !!!!!

[qbman1]

28th December would be favourite for me !

[Dark Knight]

[qbman1]

Do I take it you don't have your tree up yet then ?

[suespud]

Noooo not yet... my trees will go up on 28th.
I am preparing...

[qbman1]

Er - "treeS"? Plural ?

Don't do things by half, do you Spuddy ?!

A great shame, QB, but I shall be thinking of you

That cruise we did was a one-off as a special break for us after they had cut my chest open that summer. I must say though that it was a great relief not to have to put up any decorations nor take them down again once we got back home.

[qbman1]

Yes, I'll raise a glass of Vimto to you as well ! That's another thing I don't miss about being away from home - the bloody decorations !
