Hi all

I am looking for cellophane bags / cones to make snowman's soup and fairy soup for my family this xmas. I know some are sold on amazon and ebay. Are any sold in places like poundland??

Thanks
RB

OK, just watched a trailer - since when did Beethoven start talking?

So many fans of Polar Express unless a lot of people say to the contrary then I think we'll go for this then! Thank you for the tip about the bells, I'm sure we've got some somewhere from a small Christmas stocking, mind you my dd might remember them so perhaps I'll have a look about, if it goes with the film then that will be even better especially as it's been left from Santa/Joe!

Deck the Halls is good and so are the Beethoven films (though I didn't know he now talked? Not seen that one) but will probably watch them during December whilst I'm wrapping, card writing etc., can't wait to watch Miracle on 34th Street & It's a Wonderful Life again, they are two of my favs along with Nativity!

Someone mentioned a while back about Cadburys Festive Friends, I've just seen they are a half price so £1 a box in Tesco but you might already know that but thought I'd mention it just incase!

The Muppets Christmas Carol is still my favourite Christmas film, I sing along to every song and puts me in such a good mood Something me & my family have always watched every Christmas eve, both children and adults know every word to every song..

Thanks snugglebunny! I have just purchased these! This is the first ever time i've bought Yankee candles and i'm very excited about it! :j From what you all have said they really do make the place smell lovely which is what i'm looking for, i've been so disappointed in the past when i've bought scented candles and they haven't really scented the place. Last year I bought a pack of Christmas berry tea lights from a supermarket, they smelled wonderful in the packet but when I lit them they didn't do a lot scent wise at all!

I also purchased The Three Day Rule whilst I was on Amazon, very much looking forward to reading that after some of your reviews. Plus I earned Nectar points! :T

Thank you for your replies about the Polar Express, I don't normally bother with reviews much but because it's for Christmas Eve and part of their hamper I don't want to get it wrong, the reviews are so mixed, some saying it's boring, depressing, glum, their kids ended up crying in fear, "Tom Hanks looks like he's been killed & embalmed" then I read all the wonderful, magical reviews and I just don't want to get it wrong after Nativity being such a massive hit in our house and perfect for Christmas Eve!

I' m with evetyone else. The polar express has to be a must see and absolutly perfect for xmas eve. :santa2:

am so pleased you've all bought Polar Express! I honestly have never known anyone who was disappointed in it, am sure yu will love it!

princesskitty Im sure you will love them, I lit a Vanilla Cupcake one yesterday and the kids both came in and asked what I was cooking! even the little tealights really do make the room smell wonderful, I hope you like them - beware they are addictive! xx

would just mention allow a bit longer for delivery as it looks like they are posting them from Northern Ireland and they say allow a bit longer - about 7-10 days
