    Its not the same in the desert. I have my fingers crossed that I will be back in Europe by Halloween and will celebrate in style. Ditto for Christmas, I plan to hit a few markets this Christmas

    I was in Edinburgh this weekend and randomly stumbled across a Christmas shop! I walked in and the woman behind the counter said Merry Christmas, I was actually like :D:D:D

    Unluckily for me, but probably luckily for my bank balance, I was restricted by the size of my carry-on bag so I only bought one decoration and some napkins

    Don't bother bringing any clothes for the weekend, just bring an empty suitcase so you can fill it up at the shop :pac:

    I have a real Christmassy feeling today. Probably because I keep forgetting what day it is.

    Between the frost this morning, not knowing what day it fully was and the dread of going back to work after an extended break it really felt like the Christmas Season this morning. Also we're now another holiday closer to the big one :)

    I heard Caravan of Love by the Housemartins when I was out for dinner last night. It's one of those non-Christmas songs that I always associate with Christmas. I was very excited.

    The clocks are going forward this weekend. I can't believe it's that time of year already. Then we just have the summer and it's back to planning for Christmas again. \o/

    And Easter is soon too. Christmas Lite.

    I used to follow a website that called the 25th of every month a "Rudolph Day" - for memories or plans, or shopping or stockpiling, or reviewing your stuff in the attic etc. It pays off!

    If you have the Christmas FM app on your phone, they're still streaming Christmas music on a loop.

    I was asked to move all the Christmas decorations in work from an attic to an office that is not being used, there was almost a full van load of them and the first thing that entered my head while doing it was this thread! :)

    You could decorate that office and rent it out to us :P

    Then an office room not being used is now a money maker hello promotion! :pac:

    Hope everyone had a great Easter! Back to work yet again! Hopefully there isn't long until your next break and we do have a bank holiday coming up in May for those of you lucky enough to get the bank holidays off! :)

    Hello Christmas peeps!

    I used to frequent this board all the time, but I suppose life got in the way and I wasn't on it as much as I liked.
    Anyway how is everyone?

    Today (my day off) I've decided to make a list of things I'd like to do at Christmas that I don't get around to do. I figure if I plan early, it can be done.

    1. Make a list of Christmas films to watch.
    I'm ashamed to say there are a few classics I've never gotten around to watching - but this will change this year! I'll probably watch them out of season!
    If anyone would like to offer suggestions, that would be great!

    2. Make an advent calendar. Observe the countdown to Christmas during these 4 weeks.

    3. Finish reading A Christmas Carol. Unfortunately I'm one of those people with lots of half read books.

    4. Make scandi cushions for my couch.
    Again I'll probably achieve this out of season.

    I'm sure there's more things, but that will do for now. Maybe if I make a list of Christmas films, I can start watching them from now until the big day!

    Hey milli milli, welcome back :)

    I love your list, I guarantee there is enough Christmas movies to last you fro now until Christmas if you watch one per week :)

    We might start a movie club here on the forum for us to watch and review the Christmas Classics!

    I'd be up for that! There are loads of classics I haven't seen (It's a Wonderful Life, National Lampoon's Christmas) and loads I haven't seen in years (Home Alone, Santa Claus)

    Was just thinking of this lovely forum yesterday :) Was on my way home from a run and the sky was really dark, as if it were about it lash rain, and I was just thinking that it felt really Christmassy, as if I were on my way home on a cold winters evening and I thought to myself "I must go on the Christmas forum and tell this tomorrow". :D
