    Can I just add something on this this for anyone who does elf on the shelf?
    The wine bottle christmas jumpers and cute little santa coats , which they sell in homestore and more and heatons , fit perfectly onto little elves in case anyone has an elf dressing up this year :)

    My mother bought me an Elf last Christmas and I'm looking forward to terrorising my husband with it this year. He finds the whole thing creepy. :D Great idea to send photos to the kids though!

    I'm in a clients so have to be careful, I am stupid busy and there is 6 of us on a desk designed for two (therefore my screen is visible). Im pushing the team so can only dip in here first thing in the morning or near the end of the day as I can't be seen slacking. Its amazing how much those little Numbers highlighting new comments on the Christmas thread gets me excited.

    Past half way through September and I haven't bought a pressie yet. Panic!!!!

    Work bag is a fantastic idea! Definitely doing that!

    I don't post often from work (too bloody busy) but it's a very laid back place so it's not an issue really. Plus no one can see my screen. Plus part of my job is on my phone so if I'm posting from my phone it looks like I'm working.

    We are not a welcome guest so they have given us minimal space and assistance. Not exactly a Christmasy feeling. Plus I barely know the other team members.

    Anywho, I realised yesterday that the CD in my wife's car is the home alone soundtrack. I put it in last christmas and text her on the way to work to turn off her podcast and put on the CD. Nearly at that time now.

    That's so sweet :)

    Anyone who hasn't seen Terry Pratchetts The Hogfather, it's on YouTube and is a kinda Christmas movie. Well, it's based on his worlds equivalent of Christmas; "hogswatch". Its dark, a bit odd and funny. I made my hubby watch last night because "technically it's not a Christmas movie". (Parental guidance)

    We are about 1300 posts away from requiring a second thread.

    I think we'll do it this year.

    We're just under 1,200 posts away from getting there now, I think we'll get there this year as well. It'll be our first ever Christmas Forum Thread Sequel, not bad for a seasonal forum ;)

    It just amazes me how well the forum keeps ticking away over the year, we're blessed to have a great bunch of posters who visit this forum.

    The best thing about Boards and especially the Christmas Forum, the quality of information and help available to other posters is far superior than any other platform of Social Media.

    Need them!! :D Confused over when they would come in though because it says online that it will start coming in this week but I went in this morning and asked one of managers (who looks new) she said Christmas stuff won't be out until end of Sept.

    Glitz, starting to think you're dangerous for my pockets!! Psst I'm gonna check Pinterest later! :P

    Amen to that Loughc! I will admit that I tried to find groups on FB before but nah it ain't the same at all! :D

    Same! The Facebook groups annoy me, it's just spam and share x,y or z if you love Christmas. Of course I bloody love Christmas I wouldn't be adding FB Groups in September if I didn't.

    I never really looked at the first few pages on the thread, loughc and Posy are still around, what about the rest?

    Oh god, that thread only started in 2013 but I can't believe Star-Pants closed their account.

    They were a great poster. I hate the close account option on boards, I completely get how life can get away and by all means it's good to step away for a while but closing an account is so final and I would have loved to keep in touch with some of our older posters, especially on a smaller forum like this the posting community is much tighter and you really notice when someone drops off.

    I never really appreciated the power of those toy ads until I heard that how sister in law got Santa presents sorted because of how kids react to it or scream Mammy I want that ;) speaking of it, I offered to buy few sets for Sylvanian families house as this is the main present from Santa - anywhere I could get them cheap? Saw few on eBay that may do the job just not same brand.

    Shadow, I love the way you said just like Santa! :D

    I don't get to post on here as often as I'd like to, but I love the fact that there's new posts on here every day, even during the summer months. Plus it's a great place to keep track of when Christmas slowly starts in the shops etc. from September! :D:D Ps: you're all just lovely in here! :)
