❄❄ Let It Snow ❄❄ :: Christmas 2012 Chatter Thread

Oh dear, I thought tonight was going to be the start to the festive season for me.
We went to the official opening of the Christmas market, but it was quite small and very cramped, then they decided to send a parade around it. How no-one got hurt I don't know, it was scary at times when you just couldn't move anywhere. Everyone was saying the same thing.
Even the mulled wine didn't cheer me up as it wasn't very nice! My DS's were less than impressed and we all came away feeling a bit flat.
The worst thing is that it's really difficult to persuade my lot to go anywhere like that so I don't suppose they'll ever believe me again when I say how nice something will be.

Just got back from seeing the cola truck, and although it was a wonderful sight, we were kind of dissapointed, there was no choir, band, or even free cans of coke, just a very large que to have your photo taken! We managed to stand kids by ribbon in front of the truck & take a few photos which have come out lovely, so not all bad! half way through writing this, whilst eating my chocolate, I have just lost the crown from a tooth :-( i hate dentists but looks like im going to be visiting one asap :-(

where is the cola truck tonight?? i love that advert soooo much:j:j

Does anyone decorate the outside of their house? I love seeing all the lights when walking round the streets in the evening, but it's never occurred to me to buy outdoor lights myself.

All we do is put a string of coloured bulbs in one of the trees.

I would quite like to cover everything in white lights, but always end up spending the money on more indoor stuff instead.

Hi Hanley

The decorations are Mill Hill kits, like these. They are stitched onto thick perforated paper and then you cut them out. I then stuck some felt on the back and made a hanger. HTH!

Thanks. They're lovely. Think I'll have to invest in some for my tree.
