It's a Christmas song title. But it's not traditional. I have a short list, but really like this one. I just hope it's not 'too way out' for you all. :eek:

Freespirit my dear friend you do make me chuckle. The rolling pin incident had me actually laughing out loud, then the "grasshopper" moment when DS is "advising you" haha. You've really cracked on with the housework and Christmas haven't you could you please send me some GUAG if you've a little to spare? How did DD1 get on yesterday? and when does DS hope to hear? I've done a silly thing today and taken on another cake order well it was a tricky situation, my lovely neighbours- the Mr has an elder daughter from a previous relationship and his relationship with her is a little rocky, anyway at the party last week they had a huge fall out (her fault, little too much to drink- and a touch of the green eyed monster) anyway today she (elder daughter) messaged Mrs neighbour and asked if I could do the cake- so I've agreed it'll break the ice and smooth over things hopefully and it won't appear that anybody is taking sides! So as seems to be happening a lot today I've accidentally taken one more on! xxx

Morning all. Well went up to bed at about nine last night and spent a lovely hour flicking thru the xmas mag. Quite like nordic themr fof tree. We will see. Then my oldest friend rang me. Her father died sunday so she was calling me about funeral next thurs. V sad.

Work this morn then need to pop to sainsburys for some onions n squash and of course to look at chrim stuff. Then go badger estate agents. It seems the only time thry are forced to properly talk to me is if I go in. Grrr.

Thank you to everyone on the thread for sharing links, pictures and finds - feeling very festive now. Though was very disappointed with Asda today, I wanted gingerbread man wrapping paper!

In other news, as much as I love Christmas, my OH just called me Scrooge because I don't like Christmas cake, Christmas pudding and am only just coming around to the idea of mince pies! Anyone else have this embarrassing affliction?

ME !! i hate them but because my birthday is Christmas day my cake was always a Christmas cake with "happy birthday" in front of Santa.:rotfl:

Definitely got to get this radfleck done they are forecasting bad weather for this weekend:eek:
