Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

We put up our Xmas tree last night, I know its too early but our 2 (nearly 3) year old is just grasping the idea and was too excited.

I'm guessing we'll get ours up soon too. But surprisingly I haven't heard any of the kids asking about it yet.

I know its too early but

Some of my neighbours have had their lights up and on for the past couple of weeks. It really does come earlier every year (not that I mind).

For years now it's been Christmas as soon as Halloween is over. I reckon it used to start even earlier until shops starting getting into Halloween.

Hell, there were plenty of retail Christmas displays before halloween over here.
