It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

@SarahLil I just click on the link (circled below) in the comments box then browse to the photos on my phone and select the one(s) I want to upload. I know they appear sideways for some, but I've never had that issue.

One of two. My OH's tree, the kids also have a tree which I will get a pic of, its pretty hectic.

We face a T junction in our estate, which is full of trees everywhere, so we get the wind blowing a street full into our garden this time of year repeatedly. We fill the brown bin every day after its collected & need bags from Fingal Co Co to collect the rest, they do a bags collection every few weeks so we usually have a dozen or so every time they do one. The amount of leaves is incredible at times. What surprises me every year (& really shouldnt) is how long it goes on for!!

Thank you for the tip @pigtail33

Beautiful tree @Jude13 I love the decor

We have been housebound a lot lately with sickness hopefully coming out of the other side now so with it being so nice I took the little one to a farm not far it was a lovely morning, great to get out get some fresh air

I’m taking my friends to Gabrielle in the Olympia later looking forward to it, last one we went to had restrictions I won’t mention the other C word and it ruined the vibe…. Hopefully we will grab a bite to eat near by and wherever we go has Christmassy decor

First thing this morning I got my Dunnes shopping slots for the rest of the year and 22nd December, after 22nd shop hopefully it’s on the veg left to pick up, meat Christmas Eve and of course the fresh bread for all the yummy sandwiches

Anyone receive their A Post Christmas card in the post yet? My Mam received one

Hope your Dad is on the mend!

Yep we got ours yesterday!

Mine arrived this morning

An Post are on the ball

Is everyone getting a free card? I know there are cards included with the stamp booklet this year, but is this separate?

An Post Christmas Card

City Council don't want crowds so it is likely to be surprise every year going forward.

GAA club Christmas party tonight,still not really back to full fitness with this dose but will head down and have a few pints. Hoping the few bevvies will have some medicinal qualities.

Just took all the decorations down from the attic ready for decorating tomorrow!

Gonna relax now and watch Children In Need

Yeah the city centre, Quays and Viking Triangle Area

First 'decoration' of sorts up, my Ronnie Drew Owl that - a plush "Seasonal Owl" that looks like a hungover Ronnie Drew in a cap with earmuffs - is now in place on top of the fusebox and the first scented candles are lit. Have exceptionally little space for anything due to the never-ending renovation of the gaff that messed up last year too but I'll find a way...

Some of the Lego Winter Village is built but currently sitting in my home office rather than downstairs as I haven't figured out anywhere for it yet,

Decorations are 75% up and the annual Lego winter village is 95% done too. Hosting dinner for 20 on the 17th if Dec….slightly dreading it but it’s “our turn”

OH seems to have a dose of man flu I don’t think I will get tree up this weekend

Trying to do little jobs hopefully they all help and everything will run smoothly eventually

These are the stars I picked up in Aldi 9.99 for my kitchen double doors my stars are silver framed

Harsh. Did you live here during Winterval? There's nothing on this island will touch it at Christmas time.

Never been to Waterford winterval and I don't live far from it might go up and have look this year.

You never see any colours anymore. Everywhere all white. It's not the same as the good oul days
