What exactly is this thread about? I can see a list of posters birthdays, but I'm not really following the idea behind the thread. Is it to start on next Year's Christmas presents early? If so, why the list of birthdays?
Sorry if this is a stupid question
Last year it was a Christmas Thread. But this Year we wanted a Whole Year and Christmas Thread. We have been posting for so long now, we just wanted to be able to wish each other Happy Birthday throughout the year.
Please join in. We chat about everything.:D0 -

Thanks to Gleek for starting the 2012 "Let it snow" thread, and big thanks to OMO for carrying us across into 2013.
I lurked for a long time before I had enough nerve to join in, but I'm so glad I did! Lots of tips and advice, and always support for anyone having a hard time. Plenty of laughs, and wonderful makes and bakes - what more could we ask for?
Looking forward to hearing from old ( and new ) friends in 2013.

Thank you for the new thread OMO. Joined about this stage with the last one but will stay a lurker unless I see a bargain I need to pass on or something I just have to comment on!
Have been struggling to keep up in the last couple of weeks so def wouldn't be able to post regularly. This thread will be comforting once Christmas is over and we're in the dark days of January.
As I'm unlikely to post again before the big day, I'd like to wish each and every one of you (lurker or not:D) a
:xmastree::xmastree::xmastree: VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR :xmastree::xmastree::xmastree:Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.
If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'
