Okay so she's reliving Christmas Eve over and over until she does it right and all I can think of is how much I could eat on Christmas Eve knowing it was all going to be reset overnight. I'd start with an entire ham!

So it's like a Christmassy Groundhog Day? :pac:

Anyone heard anything about the LLTS? Any idea when applications for tickets open?

Can't find anything on Google.

No idea but it should be soon.
Last year it was announced on the 14th of October. Keeping an eye out on their Facebook page!

I'm home alone tonight so decided to watch A Very Merry Mix-Up.

Anyone seen it, what did you think of it?

I finally finished watching this movie tonight, it was great it really was, there are some sad parts which had me in tears and some good parts too.

If you like a love story, give this a watch.

They aren't normally my type of film, but this was excellent.

I walked by these in the crisp aisle in Tesco on Friday and actually shuddered. It’s a horrible combination. Mint and crisps. Ewwww.

Try doing something just the two of ye. Possibly in the morning before ye join the madness. Also do something that she might do with her family. Any traditions they might have.

ITV.s morning show with Philip and Holly had a slot earlier about must have gadgets for Christmas....
I was shopping this morning for baby present for a couple who had a baby girl 2 weeks ago. 2 of the baby shops had Christmas dresses and baby-gro.s in stock. I could.nt resist......... I met some bah humbugs when I picking them out..... I just smiled....

So glad I found this thread as I love Christmas!!! I have been playing Michael Bublé since August. I am so excited for this Christmas as my daughter is one so we have santa!! I have already booked santa at causey farm and I cant wait! I am also collecting childrens christmas books and wrapping them up as I am going to do the 12 books of christmas (each night I will unwrap a book and read it to her before bedtime) I was up in the omni center in Santry and I picked up a peppa pig advent calendar in dealz they have some Christmas stock out already.

I started a Christmas shopping (grocery) list on excel this eve, think we will start getting a few bits of meat (that can be frozen) from next week onwards purely because we won't have any plans to be in town from Xmas eve til around New Years, only time we'd be in town is to grab some veg etc if we need it.

Welcome to the Christmas forum Ciara007. It’s a great forum all year round. I love your idea about the 12 books. On a separate note I bought advent calendars for the dogs yesterday

Great idea. I always get my mam and dads dog a little something for xmas day! I am getting married on the 18th of November and ordered decorations from Jazzy Creations in August for the tree in the hotel.

ciara007

Also ordered one of these for my nanny. I love Christmas decorations and I think these are beautiful. xmas 2.jpg

I love an excel list. I am totally stealing this idea.

I’m going back to work tomorrow after 7 1/2 months of leave following my (failed) knee surgery. I’ll be starting my countdown to the Christmas holidays immediately.

Got caught the first year we had him....could.nt get an appointment anytime in December. Now he is booked in..about 6 months in advance....... Even our pouches have to be ready for Christmas.......!!!
