I love the Christmas Forum. It's lovely to just drop in and see all the beautiful trees and positive chat.

I was just about to post the same thing!

I'm near bursting with excitement that tomorrow is the 1st and I start opening my advent calendar! Got himself one of the bigger Lindt advent calendars so he has something to open too. He loves Lindt.

Hi Elves,

I hope you don't mind the cross-pollination, but I thought you might be interested in a little Christmas advent calendar quiz I'll be running over in forum games

It's sheep format, so you're hoping to give the most popular answer to each question. They'll be one question each day from the first until Christmas eve

If you're tempted then pop on over to the Forum Games Sheep Advent Calendar, I promise we're a friendly bunch

Final shameless plug from me

The game is now live. If you need help getting into the Christmas spirit (you lot need help with that, right?!) then pop on over to https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2058033465/3/#post111904767

Happy December everyone. It is THE month!!

Advent is finally here. Now it get's serious. 🎅🤶🎄

I hope some of you have entered the Christmas advent sheep game. It'll be easier if I can base my answers on you lot! And it should be good fun. Still half an hour to pm your answer to Electric Nitwit. The first question is handy. Name a reindeer other than rudolph. I think I know what people will say!

Haha well that's why I hope some Christmas Forum people played. I think they'll be more predictable (in a good way!)

Are they packing it in ?? Keeping money for the awful 2fm djs, I suppose.

I know which I'd rather keep. Recall my sister and I marking each show and movie we were gonna watch in it back in the day. Realistically saw about 1% of them....and the 3 hours of blank VCR would be full by the 14th of Decemeber with Simpsons episodes we had already seen several times.

It’s up for sale. It will continue regardless as far as I know.

Despite the hangover yesterday we got the tree up and the first Christmas movie watched. My annual christmas cold has properly developed at this stage so I can't properly enjoy the season yet till I shake it.

Happy December, Elves! We've had a lovely weekend with the Toy Show (eldest elf managed to stay up and awake and we had to wrestle her to bed at 11, mostly cos Mama was falling asleep :P). She's watched it three times already :P We put our Christmas Tree up on Saturday & I went for a lovely festive Afternoon Tea in the Shelbourne yesterday for my Dad's birthday. Was lovely to see all the lights up in Dublin & the Shelbourne was decorated beautifully

Posy

Sounds lovely.

One of the final stats update for 2019, but we've only gone and bloody smashed it.

We ended November 382 posts ahead of last year making it our busiest EVER month for the Christmas Forum and we are now only 40 posts away to make 2019 the busiest ever year for the Christmas Forum!
