    The weathers getting colder. Which means winter is approaching.

    I need to go get some new jumpers/zippies and a jacket.

    Why was my post removed? I simply answered a direct question and I wasn't one bit unfriendly or planning to or even going to make any further contributions or anything in fact. Just removed without comment. Not that I care very much and only for the removal you wouldn't have ever seen me here again, but wtf? Is there a secret christmas police at work?

    Yes, it was removed. Your post said that you don't get the obsession with Christmas and that people who "pine" for Christmas are weird.

    Such posts will be removed and it's not a secret, as we have stated as much in the charter which can be found in it's entirety here.

    I said a little weird (I think), a tad friendlier. Fair enough. Don't want to be a spoil, just walked in from the front door, sorry. Happy Christmas!

    I may have to use a tree in the back garden, not a pine type one, as my Christmas tree this year. Acceptable?

    I hope the neighbors don't mind as its on the boundary close to their house. When I was viewing the house all I was thinking was "what will this place look like at Christmas". It also came into the decision on the oven, you could fit a bird and ham in it.

    Back to signs Christmas is coming; travel reminders from the airlines, helping my OH with festive dec's for the kids she teaches.

    Look what I stumbled upon in dunnes today.
    Another year of disappointing changes to the classic tin BUT ohh how I'm happy to see them. Really makes it feel like Christmas.
    I don't remember seeing wispas in the previous heroes. Nice addition.
    Not long now folks!

    Celebrations and Hero's here ! And big box of tayto for himself of course ! Only buy a tin of roses for my mams visit. Other than that we prefer to buy biscuits rather than waste money on roses or quality street over the last few years :(

    It actually works out cheaper to buy the multipack you can get all year round.
