Ah don't make the tree feel bad. It's probably still feeling guilty bc it was such an ordeal to put up and it is a fab looking tree. You should go hug it and make up with it before you hurt it's feelings

Today our tree gnome brought the Christmas village.

S absolutely loves it. He had it down on the floor for ages enacting Christmas Eve with all the Little People in their houses and Santa flew from house to house delivering presents. It was adorable.

That's just too cute and so child friendly ! Fantastic idea

^^^Is that one of the advent calender sets? I was so tempted to get one but a few of the reviews on amazon complained that it was small. Raging I didn't get it now!

kitten_k · 02-12-2015 2:07pm

So I thought it was time to do my desktop on my work computer. It's a bit hard to see from the pic but the tree twinkles and there is moving balls and snow on the toolbar. My cursor also sprinkles snowflakes when it's moved

:D

Loughc · 02-12-2015 2:22pm

That's amazing!! Love it. I just threw on my Christmas wallpaper this morning. Must download a Christmas tree for the corner.

No it's regular sized Little People sets. I bought a bundle of them on ebay as I wanted a Christmas village so much but thought it would never survive the first week. This was my compromise and I love it. I think I like it better than the traditional sets. Though I may need a bigger board for it, as it's a bit squashed looking. You can barely see the gingerbreadmen fences.:D

That's a fantastic idea Iguana!

No, it's a dinosaur one - but now I've looked up the Gremlins one and I want it too!

I just googled Christmas Wallpapers and looked at a few sites. This is it.

That's class

polydactyl · 02-12-2015 11:22pm

Fab day today. Husband and I both took the day off work to finish the shopping, had everything planned so just had to go get them, finished by lunchtime and had then had the festive afternoon tea in the Westbury as our treat and even snagged the window seat overlooking Grafton street for it

Just divine!!!

Toto Wolfcastle · 03-12-2015 2:29pm

We got our first Christmas card today!

kitten_k · 03-12-2015 2:49pm

We got one yesterday too!

Toto Wolfcastle · 03-12-2015 2:51pm

It was soggy and the poor postman practically had to swim up the driveway to deliver it but I'm sure he thinks it's worth it. :pac:

Miaireland · 03-12-2015 2:52pm

I got one yesterday. The person who sent it always have their cards done before anyone else.

Yeah, it's the same with the people who sent us the card. Meanwhile I've been saying for a week and a half that I need to go to the post office for stamps! Maybe tomorrow!

I don't really do Christmas cards! Anyone else the same?

I find that I'm spending an inordinate amount of time on boards at the moment. I've been out of work for the last few weeks due to surgery on my shoulder and will be off until after Christmas. I'm bored to tears as I can't drive so when I'm not walking I'm on boards. Also, I will have to rely on my OH and my 2 daughters to do the Christmas decorating :eek::eek:

I normally do but I never got around to it last year

I'll stick it in my calendar to write the overseas ones this weekend and post them off. I know I have loads of cards from previous years somewhere in the house!

Sunny Dayz · 03-12-2015 3:31pm

We have so many Christmas cards somewhere in the house. A few years ago I bought a load of them in January and forgot about them. Then every December I can't find them or I forget and buy more!

Plus my son's school do cards where the kids design them and you can order your own child's card. Bit sad that next year is the last one

Also I get a bit lazy about writing cards. I do immediate family and friends. But then some of my relations send up a card and if I send to one I have to send to them all. Then if I do that for my relations then I should really do that for himself's relations also.

miamee · 03-12-2015 3:48pm

This looks seriously cool for outside the house - a cousin in the US just linked to this post so I'm not sure if it's available here/for delivery here or not.

Toto Wolfcastle · 03-12-2015 3:58pm

I love sending and receiving cards. Post is so boring the rest of the year so it's nice to get a few cards. I've jut noticed that the shiny bits on the card we got today reflect the light so it looks like there are actual lights on the tree.

RentDayBlues · 03-12-2015 4:01pm

I sent all of mine on Tuesdays, haven't received any yet. Last year we hardly got any
