As a disliker of endless fucking August I am delighted to welcome September, autumn, cosy darkening evenings, falling leaves etc. But I am also here to remind you that Christmas does not start until *after* my birthday. Anyone putting up Christmas trees in November should be taken out and shot.
When's your birthday? And what is the appropriate timing of Halloween decor? (I am afraid I will most likely be in the group of November-christmastree-putting-uppers...)
My birthday is December 3. You may begin Christmassing on December 4.
... I... Would put a bullet aside for me then 🥲
*adds to list*
No C chat until after Guy Fawkes night!
I agree, but I am wondering if your proposed penalty is fully in line with the Christmas spirit. I propose we just lock them up until Easter then we can just crucify them ?
hm, this is a good proposal
Happy birthday!!! Now. Where's the bunting!
My birthday is December 3. Decorations may go up on December 4.
Just winged or a shot to the head? And surely, impaling on the aforementioned tree would be more fitting*. * Although snug.
Shot to the head. No mercy.
Thanksgiving acts as a tremendous firebreak in this regard.
People were getting scolded on here recently for this opinion (which I ferociously share), because it might be that there are those who need to start buying Christmas presents early, and they can’t do that without the prompt of wall-to-wall tat and animatronic reindeer.
You're never more than five minutes away from a scolding on Bluesky
I think it's very rude of you to say so Kate. 😡
…some people can’t afford a good scolding.
Kate’s Law
Correct.
For any mention of the C word before the start of Advent an innocent little elf has its sweet pointy ears ripped off, slowly and with plenty of malice aforethought.
I don't like elves anyway, I am going to dig out the Mariah Carey LP's :-)
Correct.
… … … Good?
😆😆
