How odd. I've just experienced that Christmas feeling. The one that's hard to describe. Do you still get it?

The slightly heightened excitement I get when I first see the huge trimmings in the shopping centre and pub, a slight tingling sensation. I could smell and taste the cold, you know - first thing on a cold frozen morning, just as you step out of the door, the one that immediately turns the moisture in your lungs into icicles.

This feeling is probably not helped by the fact that I have been singing songs from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang all morning with a few from Mary Poppins and Oliver thrown in for good measure.

While I dislike the commercialisation of Christmas and the money you have to waste to buy certain family members gifts, I wish I could bottle that feeling. It cheers me up. I could make my fortune.

Well I'll grab my coat now. I need to go to the bakery as I also have a craving for mince pies - iced of course.

Maybe you are Jesus, and you just want some attention...

Not once has someone mentioned Jesus in this thread.
Quite frankly, you're all HIDEOUS fakes.
For shame.

Is Nightmare before christmas that animation with the boogie man who captures Santa etc.

If it is, you are right, it's a great film with a moving story and brilliant animation. I agree, it rocks!

On christmas day, you must paint your lving room dark red, and dim the lights. Hopefully it will be snowing. Don't forget a nice big tree and raging fire, into which you can discard your unwanted alcohol. Merry christmas...

I must admit I don't "get" that Christmas feeling.
All I get is Noddy bloody Holder looping over and over in over-crowded shopping centres, adverts that start promoting useless tinsely tat in mid October, and insincere strangers who suddenly become "friendly".

I'm not cynical miserable git, am I?

Ive been getting the christmas feelings in the morning.
The cold weather with the icy winds.

But when you think about it there is many more things to happen before christmas, like, my mum's birthday, my birthday, halloween, bonfire night, my brothers birthday, lots of coursework to be handed in.

Once all that has been done and out the way, then it will really feel like christmas.
