    Quality street is a must with us. I am more a savory person so loads of those lovely meat platters from M&S. They never make it to Christmas.

    What are snow bites? I like snow balls, but there is a similar treat without the coconut, not as soft. Which stuff dipped in chocolate, more like a mallow. Don't know their names though.

    Snow bites are essentially Cadburys moments (remember them) covered in powder sugar.

    We're starting Christmas songs in choir next week! The first one is Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire (I can't remember the real name)

    And we've been given the date for the Christmas concert - 16th December :)

    I'm so jealous! I'd love to sing in a choir.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 11,362 ✭✭✭✭Scarinae


    I only joined the choir in January so this'll be my first time singing in a Christmas concert since I was in school, can't wait! I was actually thinking of flying back to Ireland before then but no way am I missing it

    There's O Holy Night when he comes into the church and then when he's leaving they are singing Carol of the Bells :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,814 ✭✭✭Jude13


    Carol of the bells, that it thanks. Reminds me of winter in Boston.

    I was looking at pyjamas on the Next website and they have Christmas ones! I searched for Christmas and they have some jumpers too. I filtered it by Women so I'm sure there's more than what I saw.
