    I said nearly the exact same thing earlier to a friend. I was working the year of the bad snow and just couldn't enjoy it at all. So hoping to enjoy it from inside the house this year !

    Just saw the Coca Cola add for my first time this year. It's a classic Christmas add.
    It's absolutely brilliant and made my Friday night!

    I went to cineworld tonight. On my way up I saw the Christmas lights on Henry street and I saw the Coke add on the big screen.

    We didn't go in the end. Decided to go buy a new car seat for the baba and we got our first ever Santa pressie for him. An activity cube :)

    I'd say the ww looks amazing. Might visit tomorrow for an walk around and a Christmas coffee.

    Home alone 1,2 and 3 are on Netflix.
    IMO they were ruined with 3 and 4.

    I haven't seen 3 and 4. I have the first two on DVD so I'll probably watch the second one tomorrow. I think I prefer the second one. We were going to get Netflix for Christmas but we're holding off until January now. (I'll have a patient at home with me for a couple of months so it will keep us from going mad entertained!) Are there any other decent Christmas films on Netflix or has Sky bought all the rights?

    It was black. Something they have done this year which I really like was they put a sign outside santas grotto saying all visits are courtesy of Whitewater and parents may make a donation to a charity instead if they wish. He doesn't give presents but the kids can talk to him all they like. Thought that was a lovely touch :)

    Snap! I went looking for an activity cube today too. I think aldi or lidl have them due in on the 19th (the wooden ones )

    We got ours in smyths, I had wanted the more expensive one, but the last time we visited the grandparents the baby had a ball with a blackboard. The cheaper one happened to have a board on it so easy decision! €40 seems a good price, if it keeps him occupied :D

    I thought it might be very busy. It's a great spot for happenings!

    I don't think I would have the restraint to have it decorated and not turned on.

    Get well soon, SarahLil!

    Decided to get out of the house earlier and do a bit of Christmas shopping. I drove around the centre car park for 15 minutes (well, sat in traffic) and decided that it wasn't worth it. The Christmas rush has definitely started.

    I'm laid up at the moment following surgery on my shoulder. Unable to even drive for the next few weeks so I'm pretty devastated. Luckily i did a lot of my shopping early and wrapped most of my presents a few weeks ago. The Christmas threads are keeping me entertained so please keep it coming.

    Very Christmassy weekend here. Yesterday we got the first Santa gift every bought in this house. Then today I got a gazebo for the babies birthday party, we had dinner in a little pub then we had Christmas coffees, including a Babychino for himself. While there I had a lovely chat with a lady about how the Christmas coffees were the start of the season for both us, told her how it's the babies first Christmas (last year doesn't count Coz we were in new baby daze and don't even remember it). We wished each other a merry Christmas - first one of the year. :D I did wonder if maybe she was a member here Coz she was definitely a Christmas nut :p
    Then instead of supper we had mulled cider and mince pies.

    Fa la la la laaaaa, la la la laaaaa.
