    But I love Halloween. I miss it already. On the plus side, I decided to have a listen to christmasfm while I was browsing the other morning and lo-and-behold they have a classical christmasfm channel too. Who knew??? It's bloody good too. I love all the choral music. Such an atmospheric version of the normal christmasfm. Really loved it. My wife came in and 'caught' me listening to it this afternoon and asked me if it wasn't a bit soon for that? I felt like I'd been caught on a porn site. :eek:

    Great station anyway.

    What frequency is it on?

    Oh sorry, I was listening to it online via their website. Don't know if it's broadcast on the actual radio anywhere.

    You can always listen to christmas fm via the app, or website. They just stream christmas music. But they only have a licence to broadcast live shows for a month every year. Only a few more weeks left.

    I just found a band called "Straight no Chaser" and their Christmas stuff is awesome!!!
    I love Straight No Chaser!
    If you listen to Christmas FM you're bound to have heard them before. The station frequently plays their 'Twelve days of Christmas' and 'The Christmas can-can' which are brilliant. :D

    I don't listen to radio. Pretty much ever so I hadn't heard hem before.

    Tonight I got stuck into making some of my pressies. Vanilla sugar, vanilla rum, orange rum, and orange and cinnamon whiskey. Let them infuse now for a few weeks and voila! :)

    Me neither! Until I worked in an office with a radio playing I never listened to one. Background noise drives me up the wall.
    But Christmas FM has always been the exception!! :)


    Oh wow- I can practically smell your post. :D

    Im holding off throwing on the Christmas FM app until I get back from a trip abroad near the end of Dec, I know I will probably not make it that long.

    We had some chores last night and were going to go to bed but it was too early, pre 9, so I just threw on the tv and a film called the Family Man was on it. I hate Nicholas Cage but it was a Christmas movie!!

    Your day will come! I am currently lying in bed streaming Christmas music and waiting for my friend to text that she's on the way, when she does I'll spring from my horizontal position and race around like a blue-arse fly and be ready when she gets here. Road Trip!

    I have also pre-loaded Christmas tunes on my mp3 player so it'll liven up our drive to Dublin :)

    Came down with horrible fluey thing overnight and just want to lie in bed but can't as kitchen needs walls prepped for painting and papering ahead of S's birthday party on Sunday. Got up and made my very needed coffee and took a mouthful to realise the milk had curdled. Bleurgh!! Had breakfast with orange juice while headache worsened. Got S to agree to come to the shops with me without protest (he's easy to upset since his leg broke and his last two teeth started coming in) halfway to the shops I realise it's because he thinks we are going to Toy'r'us rather than Aldi. Get to Aldi where major building works are happening and some sort of mongrel son of a giant crane crossed with a jack hammer is smashing up the car park. In Aldi everyone is moving like molasses at the checkout while S lobbies hard to go to Toys'r'us next. Finally got out of there, raced up hill home, S started crying when he saw the house. Thankfully he got over it as soon as I let him out of the buggy and now I am sitting down with what I've decided will be the first of 3 cups of coffee and the lovely box of Christmas Florentines that are finally back in Aldi. Let the Christmas gorge-athon start here!

    Yesterday I was in a shop as I had to get stationery for a course I'm doing. While browsing I saw they had their Christmas cards in and I ended up buying most of my Christmas cards then and there. All are lovely and have some beautiful artwork and words on them. So yeah I've started my Christmas shopping. :):D

    I just danced around the house to Boney M's Mary's Boy Child. Great song to practice my sexy dad dancing to.

    Dad's Christmas present arrives - flatpack. He is the only one in the house who can assemble such mysterious items. I fear I may wind up asking him to make his own present!

    Does anyone know if the Yankee store in Stephens Green is open yet?

    just saw the Asda christmas ad and I really liked it.

    I think it is working with the hashtag #becauseitschristmas
