    There is one or two more to add to that list, but Netflix tends to add Christmas movies to their offerings around November, it saves them money only paying for 2 months rights than year round as people will only watch Christmas movies around that time of year anyway.

    Well people except for us of course haha.

    Sure a few channels do start airing films around now.

    They do, but they're only paying one off rights, Netflix would have to fork out for rights for Sept-Dec. There's no way they'd do that.

    I was flicking through my parents' TV channels (they have one of those free to air boxes) and I saw True Christmas. I was very excited until I actually watched it and realised that it's still True Movies. The box just has the channel name wrong.

    We were considering getting Netflix over Christmas so I'd be interested in finding out what Christmas movies they have on it.

    To be honest they don't have much of the "Big" Christmas Movies, Sky cleverly picked up the rights to most of them over the past couple of years.

    I love the 70's original of Black Christmas. I have a tv service, it comes free with the net, yet we haven't even plugged it in. It's netflix all the way.

    'A friend' of mine pays 90 dollars a year for a very good vpn which means netflix can think he is in different countries and hence have a better selection.

    I can't wait until The Santa Claus is on TV. I watch it every year, its my absolute favourite Christmas movie.

    Mam was clearing out our spare room yesterday and found about six rolls of Xmas paper, all brand new, still sealed. Won't have to buy any this year. :D

    She also bought a candle in TK Maxx a few weeks ago, paid €10.99 for it, its by the Copenhagen Candle company and its called Christmas Spice, its gorgeous, so cinnamon-y, she bought it with the intention of finding it cheaper online and returning it to TK Maxx, but as it happens, they're more expensive online and she lost the receipt for it too. She won't be doing that in a hurry again. :D :P :pac:

    Another thing I did recently after seeing it on Pinterest was any wax left over from other candles and putting it into a new jar, and just getting a wick and putting that into it.

    A bit awkward but when like me you have a thing for Yankee candles, rather than throw out the old wax, just keep it, melt it down and get a candle wick from eBay or wherever and that way you can reuse the wax and you'll have another candle.

    I always used to use the wax in those burner thingys but this is much better.

    So far I have honey & spice, cinnamon stick, icicles and Christmas Garland by Yankee in one big jar now, all still very scented, just need to get the wick for them and I'll have myself another Xmas candle.

    I love christmas (obviously :) ) but I have to say between mid September and 1st of November is actually the only time I'm not fully focused on christmas. Think its because I get so occupied with halloween. Then from 1st of November -bam! Halloween stuff down, christmas stuff out and up ! It's a great wat to pass the time. :D

    You can get VPNs for free that do the same job.

    Can't believe there is only three months to go, we really coming into the crazy months, hopefully October will zip past (and no doubt it will with the Bank Holiday and Halloween) as fast as September has, I love November and seeing everything kick off.

    Was in Tierneys today and they has some nice decorations in. They had a big musical Santa house for €135 (too big and too expensive for my house). But they also had a lovely white light up Christmas tree thing for €25 which we will be getting.

    Wasn't able to get pics but will try to get some the next time I am in.

    Lads, when would be a good time to do an online order from the States for Xmas pressies?

    Am hoping to get a few bits from some online US retailers but not sure when to order. Hopefully soon, but not sure if in the next two weeks, or maybe the end of Oct.

    Thoughts?

    I ordered the majority of my pressies in Nov from Amazon US with delivery in Ireland last year. No issues once they are in stock now. I will be doing the same this year.

    I can't remember exactly, I just know they were allot cheaper than putting them in my suitcase and paying extra luggage.

    Love waking up in the morning and seeing all the leaves scattered around the front garden. :) Not so much later when I'm trying to sweep them away from my front door though :P

    There was frost on the window and grass this morning when I was leaving for work at silly o clock in the morning!

    It was a lovely clear night last night so that would explain the frost as it wasn't that cold at all this morning.
