Hmmm. It is a tricky one.


On the one hand: It is imperative that many many Christmas parties are had every year and that they all have re-used bunting, free sandwiches and paper hats. One must attend as many as possible and fall asleep on trains wearing your paper hat. It is that wonderful time of year where we get to witness embarrassing behavior from colleagues who otherwise ?don?t really drink that much?. And let?s face it, who doesn?t enjoy a bit of inappropriate nudity or a punch-up involving Margaret in accounts and Neville from the post room?


On the other hand: You don?t want to have all those other celebrations leading up to Christmas to be belittled. Let us not forget glorious cause for celebration which we are privileged to have once a week known as Friday.

It is never too early to plan a christmas bash as people tend to book places very early anyway!

I am a christmas baby ( I turn 30 in December..wooo flirty thirties!) so maybe that is why I am like a kid waiting for chrismas!)


and on fridays at the locals no mistletoe is provided nor any sequins so it doesnt count does it??

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
