Pass the mince pies- Christmas Chat Thread Part Deux

Little bit of a sandstorm this morning but seems to have cleared. Its cool enough, low to mid 30's, to jog outside now which will mean I can eat more.

Woo hoo just booked 3 nights in Vienna for the Christmas markets and for our 1st wedding anniversary in November!

I knew a Christmastime wedding would reap benefits even after it was finished! We have a legit excuse every year to go away from now on! :pac::pac::pac:

Very nice. My brother and I went to Vienna about 10 years ago and they were just setting up the Christmas markets when we were leaving. It was a few days before Halloween. They looked beautiful. Enjoy!

Sorry to hear you're ill but hope the best movie santa ever eases the ills.

Christmas movies are even better than flat 7up for curing illnesses.

I was just listening to the Scott Mills podcast from yesterday (there's a very entertaining chat with a girl who is going on her first flight soon and thinks there are traffic lights in the sky) and someone called in to ask when he'll be playing the first Christmas song. Apparently he played it on the 17th last year so he's already late! He said he'll play one today. 1-4 on BBC Radio One if anyone fancies trying to catch it.

Oooh I think your gonna really love it! I went a few years ago and it was amazing!! I got so lucky because my whole family wanted to send my mum over to the markets for her 60th and since I was going with her I got my entire trip paid for too!!! Jammy or what?!

I do not recommend the Chicken Christmas Trees. They had them last year, I bought them and they tasted very synthetic. The cheese bites they had last year were amazing though.

I wonder how well they’d turn out if they were homemade? Flatten some chicken, cut out the shape and bread them. Use the offcuts in a stir fry.

They didn’t play the Christmas song on the radio today.

Eeeeeeeeeeeek.

There’s a real chill in the air this morning and the Boots website is pushing Christmas on the homepage. Time to put up the Christmas tree I think.

DvB

Getting a real feeling that people are looking to kick off the season earlier this year... or maybe thats just us

Must check out that christmas shop in Blanch. Will head over to the Range at Liffey Valley as well next weekend & take a look at some new decorations to add to the collection.

It's super wintry this morning! And I have a jumper on for the first time since March! Bring it on

Toto Wolfcastle

Just heard the Gaiety panto ad on the radio.

Heating went on last night for only the 2nd time this Autumn! It's very Decembery out there at the moment.

Is anyone else excited to go to The Range just to see their Christmas Stock... I think a visit there this weekend is in order.

Also if this crap weather continues I think a box of Quality Street while watching Strictly and XFactor is also in order this weekend!
