I see what you mean Midnightraven3 but think the idea is general festive chat who can have tooooo much Christmas?

thanks, that's exactly what I meant

There's lots of ones about making things and crafts but I just wanted to blither on about Christmas as a whole and didn't want to confuse people with lots and lots of threads going on from now right up to December :rotfl: I wanted to post in the others (and have) but when you're not crafty it's not quite the same unfortunately and I just sit in the corner and get jealous :rotfl:

My thoughts exactly Gleek and Lizzie-b:) The thread has a very different name etc I think it's distinguishable so we'll carry on and we how we go. 240 sleeps til Christmas

I love the other threads too but would just like somewhere to enjoy the moment and have a chat with like minded Christmas people like myself. Unlike my DH who thinks I'm crackers. Ha. X

ooh i love Christmas!!! can i join u all?

last year i done well with the prezzies but things id like to do differently are...

have a Christmas day to ourselves as a bit over whelming having everyone here at once and children cant appreciate what they receive as open one prezzie and another one is given :eek: (plenty of time between xmas and new year to spend quality time with family

buy non perishables from September! to ease Xmas shopping bill

keep a bit of money spare to buy children new clothes in asda sales on xmas eve it was gr8 last year but didnt have enough spare cash

plan some activity's in dec such as ice-skating, seeing xmas lights etc

making some gifts (i made my first sock monkey this weekend)

open gifts 1 at a time as with 3 children u miss there reactions if there's a mad unwrapping frenzy!!

have a fun xmas eve with no stressing and last min panicking about something! (plz! plz!)

:beer: here's to planning a gr8 xmas 2012

Thought from the title you were hoping it would snow as I so am as my DS has just married a girl from hong kong who has never seen snow and they are coming to me for christmas so want to make it the best ever so that she will want to come again as they live in Hong Kong so I dont see him that often

So looking for pressies already

I love snow, but only when it's falling and new, I don't like it when it's lingering around and stopping deliveries of post and to supermarkets etc.

As long as it's clear up to Christmas Eve I don't mind if it gets heavy after then, just have too much to do in the run up to do.

I guess I want convenient snow :rotfl:

I too love Christmas and always start early. Some people think Im sad but I have managed to get a few friends round to my way of thinking. I made a start in the Boots sale and managed to go to my first 75% sale last year. What an experience. I loved it and managed to get loads of gift sets and perfume sets to put away and also managed to pick some up to pass onto family members to help them out this year. I also look at car boot sales as the local sale I go to sells a lot of new things. I have managed to pick up some bits in Boots on the clearance shelf too over the last week and going to make a couple of hampers for my nieces. I do go way over the top at Christmas but I save £15 each week all year and pick up bits and pieces throughout the year but leave bit presents till nearer the time incase my nieces change their mind.

how exciting chrissy. thought I was early. I tend to drop distant relatives things off in august when I combine it with a holiday.

I personally love Christmas. last year I built a Christmas village, decorated the whole house in November. had a party for 50 people. done a craft fair. organised Xmas light outings and then oh organised a cruise for 3 weeks (a surprise) which was appreciated believe me but I was gutted as I wanted to stay home.


I have now banned him organising anymore in December . it's my month for shopping , looking at decs, going to carol services. living surrounded by Christmas paper .

baking Christmas cakes . plotting Otis sugar socks escapades.

ps my children are grown up .....
