Hi, can I please join in? I've lurked since the thread started, but I'm now getting more organised and can't wait for Christmas. After reading the last 20 pages or so, I have been inspired x

I have 3 kids, I try and make it as magical as possible for them.we have an Elf ( well 3 now) who arrive on Nov 30th with advent calanders, a letter from Santa and loads of crafts for the kids to do during Dec.

They love PNP and NORAD too. I just can't wait. :snow_laug:snow_laug:snow_laug

So far I have most of DS- it's mostly Ben 10 and Avengers stuff. I've got everything either cheaply or on offer through the year.

I have just stocking fillers for DD1 and DD2 as the wee one is getting a play kitchen, but we have no where to hide it just now.

Welcome nic2075,

Of course you can join:snow_laug . There is no need to ask.

I havent been to dunelm in years but I needed to go and see all the christmas things everyone is talking about There is some really lovely stuff, I want the little rudolph teddy (4.99) He would look good with my elf (although elf is bigger so maybe not!)

Anyone bought the new Cath Kidston MYO Christmas Decorations book? Mine arrived today and the jury is still out. I am quite crafty but was looking for new ideas - this doesn't really fulfill my needs.

Is anyone else finding that the earlier you start Christmas planning the more stuff you buy for everyone? I think I'd be more MSE if I didn't start until December, but there's no fun in that! :xmastree:

Oh Absolutely . I have finished DD a least 3 times.
I then have to find Ds something as we open presents in turns, so I like to get them the same number.

But then, I have managed to get everything in the sales. So if I did it all in December, it would cost me a lot more for a lot less gifts.

I want to buy some nice, traditional pyjamas for my grandsons, aged 1 and 3. Maybe red tartan wincy ones but I can't see anything reasonable. Keep looking in Primark but they don't have Christmas ones in yet, just the ones they have had for ages.

Thanks for this - I looked in store a few days ago as I thought it must be around the corner.

Can't wait to start drooling over this Years offerings. I have been saving M&S gift vouchers so have £120 to spend on Christmas food. Looking for a nice turkey crown and leg of ham plus veggies, trimmings and a pudding

I went in today - and there it was. Free wine or choccies if you order over £60 by 11 November or free Cava or choccies if you spend over £100. Will be placing my order tonight :j
