YKIACW - Every other music artist is releasing a best off or new CD! :wacko:

......... the supermarkets are filled with people buying as if they're expecting a famine despite the fact that they are only closed for a couple of days :wacko:

When people keep calling you, asking what you want for Christmas :wacko:

You ride on a float in the Christmas Parade!!! (piccies to be loaded asap!!) p.s. we will find out Monday if we won a place! Several peeps say that we did!??! Yay!:) :pimp:

........... you find yet another excuse not to go Christmas shopping!

.......the guy across the road from you puts his Christmas tree up on 28th November!

......you start to think of a hundred people you haven't been in touch with since last Christmas!

....... you have to have a stiff drink or valium before you open the bank statement.

When you keep making up lists of people you don't know, a different one nearly everyday - just incase you missed someone...

your bank account dwindles to less than £5!:mellow:

You lucky thing! My balance hasn't been positive for a good few years now.

You see the 'holidays are coming' Coca Cola advert on TV.

THATS when its Christmas

Yip...it's ALWAYS on...and the Budweiser horses add too.

But I prefer the Guinness add for a white Christmas..it's lovely...all snowy and gorgeous.Bells ringing....snow falling....horses neighing.....the works!
'Even at the home of the Black Stuff they are dreaming of a white Christmas'...

What's that got to do with Christmas? :mellow:

Oh just wait till you graduate and stop living off the state :closedeye

............ you have endless rehearsals for the Christmas Concert

....you finally get the Christmas box down from the loft and now have sparkly lights and an action man in a tux with a santa hat holding out a bunch of roses dangling in the window....:blush:

......when people start singing carols.......

.......when Scrooge is on telly.......

..........when you hear that jangling noise on the BBC Christmas programmes plug for the first time.......

When everyone seems to be happy and full of Christmas fun and cheer :w00t:

When you are soooooooooooo happy because it's only 2 weeks to the christmas holidays...and you are off for weeks and weeks.
Tis enuff to put anyone in the Christmas Spirit...
'Sleigh bells ring...are ya listening?'

when your dad phones up to try and arrange a time to swap presents

When storylines in the soap get even more depressing.

ps: what's the maximum time to park in your street before your tyres get nicked?!?!

(j/k!)

Hey you! It's the estate across the street that has the problems...my side of the road has a much sunnier disposition and feel free to come a swoon at my dangling Action 'Santa' Man! :wub:

YNIACW....You sing christmas carols all the way into work without the aid of a musical accompaniment!

When the weekends are spent with MTV on the telly, watching all the christmas videos and singing away to 'Last Christmas' and 'Mistletoe and Wine' :ohmy: I even did the Cliff Richard sway with my lighter lit on saturday evening :bag:

YNICW Coastie's spelling improves. :wink2:

Can I just be pedantic and ask why some of you are writing the abbreviation "YNIACW" when it should clearly be "YKIACW"?

When you say 'some of you' do you mean Patsy ? I think its because she is:-

a) drunk

b) not very bright

YKIACW...you watch your littlest grandson's first ever Nativity Play at pre-school and get a big lump in your throat the minute he walks on with his tea-towel headdress and stripey smock and by the time he starts doing the actions to the songs you have really smudged mascara and a soggy tissue :bag:

I must buy some tissues at the weekend.:laugh:

........... when you cant get bloody "Herod the King" out of your head.

....everyone suddenly starts calling you to sub for the holidays when you were practically hat in hand a few weeks back to get Christmas and NOW you really don't have to work and can say no and be mean!!!! (that's slightly off tangent but topic was still involved...I think):smartie:

....... after another battle round the crowded shops you start losing the will to live :wallbash:
