    I can’t watch a Christmas film until December....a couple of years ago I watched White Christmas at the end of November at a local theatre. It just didn’t seem right πŸ˜‚ A couple of days when it was December would have made all the difference πŸ˜‚ Glad you enjoyed them and had a lovely restful day though.
    Hope work isn’t too mad for you.

    Glad you enjoyed your Sunday watching Christmas films. I think everyone is trying to get into the festive mood early because it's been such a rubbish year. I usually start feeling festive around the last week in November.Β

    I am with @milian - can’t watch films until December then I run out of time lol - can’t think about Christmas until after Remembrance Sunday, when perhaps I should think about cards !Β 

    Lovely to catch up on your diary... hope you have a good weekΒ

  • I'm keeping an eye on the numbers creeping up at work and on the news, if it carries on like this I'm going to put myself into my own lockdown, which will be exactly as we did back in March, no visitors to my house,no visiting anyone else and minimal time spent out and about. Having heard that it's very likely you can catch it again I'm now worried about getting it again, I'm not going through that again,If things keep going the way they are Christmas will be cancelled so far as I'm concerned 😟

    Wanted to say I really hear your worry, and apart from trying to support the businesses I have always supported and some new ones on line.... my feelings are the same.Β
