How many days until Christmas 2025? asking for a friend. 
I think the fact Xmas starts from about September is quite sad. It definitely takes away some of magic. When I was a kid my Mum would start Christmas shopping right at the beginning of December and it was regarded as quite soon!! The tree never went up until mid December and it was just magical month.I agree with this, it’s the festive season. I think it was mentioned upthread, or maybe in another, but the shops bringing in their Easter stuff now is so jarring in my opinion because it makes the commercialisation so blatant. Many of us are still enjoying Christmas leftovers and events but they’re pushing the next thing on us. It’s not as obvious when Christmas stuff comes in (still far too early, imo) because its not off the back of another big event.
I understand that to be honest. They’ve sold all their Christmas stock so move onto the next ‘season’.Christmas is over according to Home Bargains, they’ve got valentines and Mother’s Day stuff in
Oh no the Xmas stuff is still on the other aislesI understand that to be honest. They’ve sold all their Christmas stock so move onto the next ‘season’.
ITS BLOODY DECEMBER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.Christmas is over according to Home Bargains, they’ve got valentines and Mother’s Day stuff in

THIS!! I have been feeling like I'm on a conveyor belt getting ready for Christmas then the day is gone and suddenly the shops are filled with Easter Eggs and all joy has gone. I really hate how fast paced and pressured life isI think the reason why people feel so sad at the moment is because people don’t realise that a Christmas lasts until the 6th January. I find it odd that the radios stop playing Christmas songs and music after Boxing Day. We are all so fast paced we forget to truly enjoy the season and slow down. Keep the decs up (if it works for you and your family), continue watching and singing Christmas songs and films, eat the festive food, for heavens sake, EAT, DRINK and CONTINUE TO BE MERRY PEOPLE!![]()
I 100% agree. I feel so meh at the minute. I'm caught in a loop of wanting to enjoy every minute of rest but then stressing that ive got all this time off and not doing anything productive (whatever productive is!)I think the reason why people feel so sad at the moment is because people don’t realise that a Christmas lasts until the 6th January.

Balsam hill always gets recommended.Does anybody have any recommendations for where to try to get a really nice tree from? Not really fussy on price but would prefer it to be the perfect thing that will last us a long time if not forever
MD triggers people aswell (me included) so I'd much rather they left that one until nearer the damn time. So I can avoid it longer.Christmas is over according to Home Bargains, they’ve got valentines and Mother’s Day stuff in

When me and my siblings were little my parents didn't have half as much stress or competition around Christmas that parents seem to have now. There was no "Elf on the shelf" No Christmas Eve boxes, no pressure to buy matching pajamas and pose in front of the tree. They were just relaxing and memorable. I did have Santa and the pressure to behave but I didn't have an Elf watching me, destroying our house or eating my chocolate on top of that which would have really stressed me out as a kid. Social media has ruined a lot of things.I think the fact Xmas starts from about September is quite sad. It definitely takes away some of magic.

Now it's all instagrammed and competitions as to who can have the biggest tree, go to the most events and generally be the most ridiculous.
My teenage boys just missed all that elf on the shelf sh@te thankfullly. I probably would have felt guilty and got swept up in it. I’m so glad I avoided it. Agree, it was lovely when it was much simpler. But i absolutely love Christmas, all this nonsense just ruins it.When me and my siblings were little my parents didn't have half as much stress or competition around Christmas that parents seem to have now.
