    So the countdown is on just 14 sleeps till Santa arrives :D

    At 22 Im still just as excited as I was when I was a lil one!!


    Is anyone doing anything extra special over the next two weeks doing to make it extra special in the run up? (Since the snow is FINALLY melting :D)

    Himself is off for the first time in 3 years over Christmas so hoping someone can throw something my way with ideas as what to do to make it extra special we're due our first in May so it will be our last year just the two of us.... Maybe why Im so excited about this Christmas.... We've both decide to F it and go all out :D

    Thanks in Advance ;)

    no, not really doing much now ....just waiting to get off work - the last week (the week after next) will be the longest few days ever waiting for Christmas Eve to arrive so I can relax - every year that week is just SOOOO LONGGG.

    Anyway we will be reading this thread this time next month and wishing it was two weeks before Christmas - in reality the next couple of weeks will go by so fast and we will be wishing it was two weeks before Christmas soon. So make the most of it.

    that's so cute, I think the second or third christmas is lovely for kids because they're starting to understand it more and anticipating santa!

    OP I don't think you'll need to DO anything, they fact that it'll be your first christmas together in 3 years will be special enough...just enjoy it!;)

    Im going to forget (for a few days at least) all the doom and gloom in this country. Im going to watch the innocence and wonder in my childrens eyes when they turn that corner into the sitting room Christmas morning, Im going to smile and wish everyone a happy christmas and really mean it this year, im going to visit some old folk family friends and neighbours and im going to throw a few bob into a local charity and thank god im alive and healthy.

    Oh ya, and im going to put on a stone in weight at the christmas dinner table !

    Happy Christmas.

    OP, maybe start a few simple traditions that you can continue once the little one arrives.

    Ideas could be Midnight Mass, a Walk after dinner, Christmas Eve movies etc.

    I heard of one family who have an open house Christmas Eve, where they invite their friends and family to call in anytime after 2pm (leaving the morning for last minute prep.) It's a nice idea, being able to relax and enjoy the ''season'' with family.
