I go to college in NCI in the middle of the IFSC. Sometimes during December you can here Christmas music being played on the street through speakers. It's wonderful.

That is wonderful.
But then again, it's the most wonderful time of the year! 😊

*** rant warning !****

Mr glitz and I decided 2 weeks ago we would have a halloween party at our home and invite a few close friends. We very rarely have parties here as I don't like having parties in a house with small/ sleeping children. So one every few years is enough for us :pac: sent out txt invitations to said friends. All replied and confirmed the date bar the exception of one couple.

This couple im mentioning are very showy. He fancies himself a bit of a playboy having dumped his wife and child to run off with a younger girl. He has also had a hot tub installed in his garden which we are all sick of hearing about at this stage ! anyway 2 weeks pass no reply from them. Said I'd check in yesterday with his gf who replied with a very snotty message to say they actally had a party planed .. for the same night. However no one was invited or had any knowledge of it. Until yesterday. When they realised that all our mutual friends were going to my party the Sunday night, she actually text me saying as she had already "bought her party supplies "there was no way she could possible cancel hers but would be kind enough to move hers to Saturday night ! ( the night before mine ! And within the hour all my mutual friends had been invited !!

I was fuming. She deliberately moved hers to the day before mine, knowing that there was no way people would come to mine hung over for a second party the day before halloween! What annoyed me the most is that she claims to have planned and already bought supplies for a party that no one had been invited to or even any knowledge of !

So Mr glitz and I, being more mature have decided to cancel our plans and I'm currently cruising on vista print for fancy invitations for a Christmas party / new years party to which ill be giving her her invitation at her halloween party. The upside of this is I finally get my fancy christmas party at home !

Omg I litterly forgot how much I loved them until I had one again you should try one kitten k! I doubt it's anyway healthy but it's sooo nice !

As soon as a suitable invitation design has been picked of course it's cheered me right up flicking through all the lovely Christmas images !

I won't lie I thought about it jude ! But it's an unfair situation to put my friends in so ill conceded with good (ish) grace :pac: although everyone has noted how childish it was to have their party on the day before mine at least I'm not the only one who noticed :pac:

Blow them away with your Christmas bash. Also go to the Halloween one dressed in a Christmas theme.

Also, to echo Kitten_K it may be difficult to get an invite to me.

All the talk of Christmas music on here has me reminiscing if that is the correct word I am looking for about the year me and a work colleague I was on work placement he was covering maternity leave started singing Christmas songs at work stood up facing one of the cctv cameras in the shop and sang songs into it. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the office that day. Ah memories

Tayto Crispmas shop at Arnotts from November 5 to December 24.

Shoppers will be able to feast on Tayto crisp sandwiches as they get in the holiday spirit, with the dapper spud himself sure to make an occasional appearance.
