Where is the Christmas cheer?
 

Ok, we are nearly in December now...but many people dont have the Christmas cheer yet, including me (I know Im doing the countdown, but only cause its a countdown)

Where is it???????????????:bawling:

what is the christmas cheer

You know what it is, the warm feeling of Christmas

You cant explain a feeling though

the warm feeling of christmas

christ...

:bawling:

I get that but it wont start until... december 6th the first saturday...

because thats when we go get our christmas tree and decorate n that.

:whistle:

so the story goes

:joker:

:eureka:
I noticed Christmas hasnt been as commercialised yet

It isn't advent just yet. I think when it gets into Dec we should start having christmas avs and sigs, woo.

I might have a naked dancing Santa in mine :banana:

The credit crunch has caused the cancellation of Christmas this year, especially in Croatia


So please note

Do to the economic conditions the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off until further notice

Wasn't Christ born on/or around September 29th? I read there is no reference in the bible he was born on christmas day, and it's all a lie.

Yeah I heard that too.
But I am not a believer either way.

That would mean he was immaculately conceived around christmas.

It was not until 358CE that Bishop Liberius of Rome declared that 25 December would celebrate the birth of Jesus, so no wonder the NT does not record him being born on 25 December.

As for Jesus' historicity I refer you to the writings of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus, historians who were not Christians yet recorded his existence.

im up for that !
:dance:

In fact i demand a Santa smilie ! :spin2:

Not Christmassy yet :thumbs: Will be soon. Chrstmas shopping, London Lights, Candles THE LOT putting the tree up soon too!! :bigsmile:

Too early, I don't see why we need to celebrate one day (which is just hype) with a month to 2 months in advance. A couple of weeks is good enough.

Too early?
advent starts in 5 days...plus everywhere or nearly everywhere has lights up now

It's only because Christmas has been cancelled. Santa's a bitch. :bored:

in the olden days the tree used to go up on christmas eve and come down on boxing day

Now lights go up in October, adverts start in November and people put their decorations up at the start of December then take them down in January- thats 3-4 months all for the sake of one day

Errmm..its November?
I don't see why it would be christmasy its far too early. =/

We are bodering on December v_v
Im comparing this to the last few years not the 1800's

Completly agree, dont see why people start counting down from summer now, its one day, live all the others!

When does everyone put their tree up?
