    when does lush pass the parcel finish??
  • Morning all.

    Well, it seems a little strange that you're all a day away from Christmas... Mine has started. :eek: (Divorced families and all that. ;) )

    Actually, it's an odd one. I've got most of the day to get sorted; OH's youngest (15) is due to show up at 3 and the other two are expected at about four with their respective partners (hopefully... they've both been having "relationship quandaries"). I doubt we'll be able to hold off with presents for the youngest; I hope she'll be content as she requested a ridiculously expensive pressie this year so she hasn't got the usual mound of parcels. Actually the middle one has probably done best. She couldn't think of anything she wanted so she's ended up with a boxful of individually wrapped bits and pieces.

    I need to get organised now. I've still got to wrap OH's gifts, although we've decided to keep ours for tomorrow rather than do the whole Christmas thing a day early which is what we've done on previous years. Then it's a quick clean of the house and get the turkey in the oven around 11. It's sitting on the side looking a bit sorry for itself at the mo.

    I'm EXCITED :j cos Father Christmas is on his way!!!:D

    im very excited as my mum and dad are flying home for christmas.

    they leave for the airport about 11ish uk time:j :j

    the only down side is i have to pick them up at 5 in the morning from heathrow:eek:
  • Diva, do they have far to travel then? It will be a lovely exciting start to christmas day for you, picking them up!

    I have had no luck trying to find out when pass the parcel finishes, there are different opinions flying around but I can't see any indication from Lush or Fb! Just gonna keep passing!

    I'm not feeling any christmas spirit but am convinced if I fake it enough then it will eventually come. Well, I am a woman!!!!
    But there are dreams that cannot be,and there are storms we cannot weather!
