    Definitely like a winters night out there tonight. Totally pyjamas, fire lighting, Yankee candles and wine type of night.

    :-) Haha I know what you mean, I definitely felt like I was missing some sparkle, despite the candles.

    We went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party last year in Magic Kingdom. Best Santa ever!!! It was very festive even in the heat, we got hot chocolate and apple pies. They had Cinnamon smells drifting round everywhere. Disney and Christmas together...two best things ever ♥

    Attention Crafty Elves - and by that I mean Elves into Crafts, not the shopping-nearly-done Crafty Elves (I'm looking at you Mayo Gurl) I was in our local Art & Hobby and they have a small selection of Christmas stuff in! :eek: Decoupage, Cards, Stamp Tools, Ribbons & little glittery, sequiny bits.

    Trip to London anyone??
    The store’s Christmas home and decorations buyer, Geraldine James, said: “Despite the summer weather, we’re in full festive mode here at Selfridges. We’ve been working on this year’s Christmas Shop since Christmas last year.

    Or as I'd call it my dream job, hahaha!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,264 ✭✭✭✭Alicat


    Have to say if I lived in London, I wouldn't go in yet. From September onwards I allow myself to plan and shop, August is a bit early for me! Maybe it's because I've already seen Christmas showrooms through work in May, so I've had my early fix.

    Ok so we've about a month or so before we need to move, and my housemate is away on hols at the mo (just the two of us). I decided on a Big Clean today and of course found our stash of Xmas decorations, ah I wonder where they'll be hanging next? :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,264 ✭✭✭✭Alicat


    A Christmas order arrived today!! :eek: Technically it was only a small thing (not Christmas-themed) but still, it was ordered as part of the Christmas gift and I got a little shiver :D All my colleagues rolled their eyes at me and said, "FFS!" :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭Glitzgirl


    Was in he@tons other day talking to a lady who was working and she was complaining that they are getting their christmas stock in mid -late sept because of how busy they were last year! Personally I can't wait :) they had adorable kids breakfast sets in a box last year and completely sold out by 1st week of December! So disappointed !

    I have several things that are being held until December for collection in various shops and when I initially inquired about the items some of the staff did look shocked ( one lady even did the whole "for CHRISTMAS !?" Line ;) ) granted I was asking about stuff a few months ago but still! Was shocked at some of the reactions I got ! More and more people in my opinion are picking up and putting stuff aside earlier so dont know why the lady I dealt wit was so surprised! Maybe she had been away on hols or something previously ;):D

    It's for those very reasons that the items in question went straight onto the shop floor! Particularly with kids' stuff, the parents are buying earlier and earlier.

    100% agree! I don't agree with anyone spending what they don't have just because of pressure (easier said than done when you have kids I know ) so I say go for it! Start shopping the sooner the better if it helps :)

    On a side note was talking to a friend the other day who admitted to us he still uses his credit card to pay for christmas and spends the following year to pay off that christmas' cost! A vicious cycle to be stuck in , so I think it's great people do realise the benefits of shopping early. Well stated alicat by the way!

    It's awful isn't it! :( hope it flew past for u! This is my first year as a stay at home mom. Previously I worked shift work. I remember going into work Christmas Eve night til 10pm ish and having to go back in Christmas Day for a few hours was awful :(

    Delighted you got sorted Glitzgirl. Re children's dishes, I got cute festive Disney Princess & Cars boxed sets in W00dies for about €10 each. They had them in when they started their sale. The set has a bowl, plate, eggcup and mug. Its not crappy wishy-washy Disney like you sometimes find. Actually, I got Mr Mayo Gurl to carry back two dining sets from the US one year. The dirty mouth on him every time he sees them in their "special" cupboard. I may consider not letting him use them. :rolleyes:

    Well when December 1 arrives he'll be sick of looking at them. The small peeps use the Disney sets for their breakfast from then and all other meals we use the "proper" Christmas sets. I love the dinnerware, it was well worth is effort of hauling it all home. (I didn't even break a sweat :D:D )We had to get 2 sets as our table seats eight. I got fab handpainted snowman wineglasses(buckets!) on another trip. He doesn't give out about them when they're filled with wine, oddly enough :)

    ;) haha in stitches reading that! Not breaking a sweat! <3 it! :D

    Sounds lovely! I have been losing sleep over dinnerware this year! Last year I got fab gold rimmed glassware just for Christmas Day / Stephens day. So have ordered a matching white porcelain gold rimmed dinnerware set. (Initially I wanted square but the charger plates are all round :( ). So I decided the other day I was going to tell Mr Glitzgirl that we need to get another set to use from November -Christmas day, something christmassy (for the kids of Course ;) ) His response was "we can no longer fund your christmas habit ... You have problems " lol!

    I'm pestering my local Chamber of Commerce already about their cr@ppy Christmas lights they've had the past few years. I'm sure they'll love me :P ("Who is this crazy one emailing us about Christmas lights in August?!")
