    I was walking past a sign advertising a sale today and I noticed that the back of it said Merry Christmas. They obviously just decided to get the most out of the sign!

    I've discovered that Die Hard is actually on Netflix. :D

    They watched Die Hard on Gogglebox this week and I couldn't figure out why none of them were wearing Santa hats and eating mince pies. :D

    I was looking for something on the Supervalu app and they have Odlums Xmas Self Raising Flour listed.

    I just remembered that I saw Christmas themed big Toblerones in a shop the other day.

    Christmas seems like Yesterday, but it was 4 months ago. That is hard to believe. It will be upon before we know it :):)

    I personally love the winter season the most, and I am looking forward to the summer, but i love the Winter.

    Heatons in carlow have a little box of christmas stock near the tills! Little hanging signs reduced to 50 cent each ! Yes I may have bought a few ... :pac:

    I saw a guy wearing a Christmas jumper the other day in the supermarket. It was one of those fair isle ones so it was subtle enough but it definitely had reindeer and snowflakes on it.

    You seen Loughc in the supermarket?! :pac:

    My friend just put up photos from Spain. Gorgeous azure blue skies and her young fella resplendent in his extremely loud Christmas jumper :)

    Hi everyone, I've enjoyed reading all your glimpses of Christmas!

    One thing I was thinking about recently (now that summer is on the way!) is how musicians will be getting ready to record their Christmas songs/albums soon.

    Summer -Time to write Christmas Songs

    Design, fashion & retail are just some of the other industries that are out of synch too - preparing stuff months (sometimes years!) in advance so we can have our Christmas products in October!

    So there is always Christmas out of season somewhere! Not to mention the big man himself, busy preparing all year for Christmas Eve! :)

    Haha, that's gas, cause I came in to post that work are having a Christmas Strategic Planning meeting today. They have signs up for it. And so it begins... haha.

    We will probably be planning our work Christmas party around next month. :D

    On Bake Off Creme de la Creme tonight one of the teams built a winter wonderland as their show piece complete with snowmen.

    And I was looking for something in a shop that sells a bit of everything and on the very top shelves of the shop they had little Christmas trees. I presume they were just storing them there but I was nearly tempted to ask them if they'd sell me one!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,593 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    I'm sure they would!







    (Buy one and post a picture of it here as soon as possible)

    The shop is stinky and I don't like it so I'm not going back there. :D

    I hate click bait, but I'm glad I clicked on this!

    bumped into a lovely Christmas Shop in Heidelberg, Germany, just a few weeks ago !

    I saw a taxi with a Santa hat hanging from its rear view mirror the other day.

    And town (Dublin) was absolutely buzzing on Saturday evening so even though it was bright-ish and warm it felt a bit Christmassy.

    I was in a restaurant with my boyfriend and they had Michael Bublé songs playing, and after a while I realised that White Christmas was on! It must be a bonus track on one of his albums or something, but it was very festive :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,046 ✭✭✭kitten_k


    We just got emailed the date and venue for our xmas party!

    Saw this on Facebook today - Movies 24 will be playing Christmas movies in July!!!

    The films are so cheesy but I love all the decorations and snow in the background! Switch off your brain and enjoy some warm, fuzzy feelings!
    Oh it's also a fun channel to catch 'celebs' in either early films or when they got demoted to B or C status!

    The films start on 4th July!
