My sister picked up Christmas jumpers for me and Mr Scarinae in Penneys as I was worried all the good ones would be gone by the time we got to Ireland

Haha I hadn’t seen that.
I always love seeing the video clips taken out at the airport when people arrive home especially with new members of the family. I always get misty eyed.

I have given her my Santy list:
Chocolate coins (one year I didn't get any, it just wasn't a proper Christmas, I was 25 that year)
White pudding.

That's about all I need for Christmas apart from the company.

It has become a tradition in our house that my granny buys the 3 female grandchildren new pyjamas every Christmas. We wear them to bed Christmas eve and it's great. You should've seen the tantrums thrown by the 3 of us when she suggested a few years back that she'd just get us vouchers instead.

I'm 36. My sisters are 34.

So many posts to catch up on! I'm just back from a weekend in Berlin and feeling extra Christmassy! We managed to get in 3 different Christmas markets when they opened Monday and also went to the Christmas Lights in the Botanical Gardens which was so lovely. Christmas tree is going up this weekend

Something tells me that will happen... most likely by the end of the day :P :pac:

Not that I'm keeping count?

Get him a regular cloak and get everyone to act that he's invisible?

That is a toughie... any chance he'll change his mind?

Just get a normal cloak and get everyone to pretend they can't see him when he's wearing it. extra bonus parent points if you can keep this up well into his 20's.

I saw them on Amazon last week. No idea how they're supposed to work.

They actually sell them in Smyths...around €60 I think. It works with an app, when using the app the cloak is invisible on the phone/tablet.
Reeks of something that won’t be used or played with mind you

You can still use it as a car cover... not sure if it'll hide it if you park where you shouldn't, though...

I didn't get a phonecall about Toy Show tickets this year either!

Ah well maybe next year.

It's a her. And there's no chance. They're off to lapland next week, I'll say Santa phoned after they left and he has decided not to stock them for insurance purposes.

Sound legit?

A neighbour of mine was on the late late a few years ago, was called down to take a penalty with Nicky Byrne in goals. This lad has a fierce boot on him, blasted it, and bounced off the goalies head. Byrne though TV he was deadly, as he saved the shot. I wrote at the end of my application that if my rendition of Friends in low places was not enough, I'd at least like the opportunity to fire a few balls at Byrne.

Yirra, must have been a westlife fan that read my sheet.

Does you know who everyone got in SS? I used an online SS generator and it is really handy as everyone just get an email with the name they're assigned

Yea coz our work email filters are very sensitive so the emails would probably get blocked. I’m the only person who knows it all.

Aw ok that makes sense, I use an online generator for my family. But at my work I put names in the hat (box) and everyone pick one. It is exciting organising it!
