    No problem ! I have to say it's something I really love doing coming up to Christmas. I remember my mam getting her hair done too for christmas so maybe that's why!

    A cold dry winter will do, frost would be perfect.

    I have only had one white Christmas, the big snow a few years back, got stuck in transit on the way home. 14 hours in Abu Dhabi airport, then we landed in shannon not Dublin. Had to hike to get the train to Dublin, taxi from Hueston could only get within 2 miles of the house so I have to throw the 30kg wheelie on my head and hike home.

    It was well worth it.

    I'm smack bang in the middle of planning a party for 13th December. It's not a Christmas party. Doesn't mean it can't be Christmassy though. Mulled wine and mince pies are on the list. Very excited!

    TK Maxx near me have a few small Christmassy bits, they've a gorgeous champagne gold coloured feathered wreath. I want it to badly but its €29.99 which I am not paying.

    Its gorgeous, but its small and flimsy so not worth that price anyway.

    Can't wait until they've more stuff in. Definitely going to pick up a few bits from them this year.

    Can't wait for Christmas this year, its going to be relaxing (hopefully) after a tough two years so will be nice to have a quiet one this year.

    Have two birthdays before Xmas so have started picking up presents for those already, and going to start getting some Xmas pressies soon too.

    Going to Galway to the Christmas markets this year with my bf and I can't wait. They will definitely get me in the Xmas spirit.
