Hi, can I join in the Christmas fun? I've been reading this and the previous let it snow thread since last year and I'm going to fight my shyness and say hello. It's wonderful knowing there are so many christmas fanatics like myself!

Hi Pinkfluffycloud and welcome xxx

Glad you decided to say hello x

Mum's decided she doesn't want an advent calender this year so am going to make her a december hamper instead. apparently this years theme is quality over quantity so will pop in coffee, chocolate covered coffee beans, a new cafetiere, obviously some lush bits from the new christmas line when it comes out probably some new pjs too, but i can't really think of anything else.

I've been feeling really rough today i just can't describe it, it's like I'm all faint and food feels like it's sitting on my chest, so just an icky feeling.

I'm getting far too excited too early this year, I want to make my christmas hampers and put the decs up now, talk about wishing the year away

Hi All,
loving the christmas chatter and have even just had a sneaky listen to micheal buble singing its beginning to look a lot like christmas on youtube!

As you mentioned it, I just went to listen to it too! Feeling very festive now!

haha ALJA go on ... you know it will get you in the christmas spirit xx

Am still sat here looking at bits and bats to buy. Does anybody on here do the santa elves? Well on the clearance section at argos there is a designabear cold dudes pop up tent for £2.99. Its a little tent that your elf could sleep in x
On that note, how old were your kids when you started the christmas elf? My daughter was 3 in may. Have got an elf like doll that just needs xmassing up and got the special elf pack off an ebay seller with the elf passport etc in but not sure if I should wait until next year?

You guys have really inspired me

Despite having a few more craft fairs scheduled for August I am going to try and get the rest of the bought pressies finished by the end of the month, then onto the wrapping!
