    Finished off the last of the stollen there this afternoon with a cup of tea so that's it until early November before Lidl get it in stock again. Still have the Christmas Pud, which I've promised myself & the kids we'll eat on my birthday later this month. So all traces of Christmas treats are done until we're back in season.

    Netflix has already begun announcing what holiday shows we can expect to watch this year!

    So what can we expect from Netflix this Christmas?

    Meet Me Next Christmas

    Kicking off the holiday announcements is Meet Me Next Christmas starring a host of well-known faces including Christina Milian, Devale Ellis, Kofi Siriboe, Tymika Tafari, Mitch Grassi, and Scott Hoying.

    Meet Me Next Christmas( Directed by Rusty Cundieff and produced by Mark Roberts) tells the story of Layla who is in pursuit of a fairytale romance with the man of her dreams, Layla must race through New York City to get her hands on the hottest ticket in town: the sold out Pentatonix Christmas Eve Concert.

    That Christmas

    Next is one we are looking forward to seeing – That Christmas! Based on the successful series of children’s books by BAFTA winner and Academy Award nominee Richard Curtis, Locksmith Animation’s heartwarming film marks the feature film directorial debut of renowned character animation and story artist veteran Simon Otto.


    That Christmas follows a series of entwined tales about love and loneliness, family and friends, and Santa Claus making a big mistake, not to mention an enormous number of turkeys! Nicole P. Hearon (Moana, Frozen) and Adam Tandy (The Thick of It, Detectorists) are producers.

    Currently, no other information including who may do the voiceovers for the series has been announced.

    The street lights are still up in Ashbourne but obviously not turned on anymore and the Holiday was on one of the Sky movies channels last night.

    Noticed them myself yesterday when driving. Do they stay up year round?

    Brought my aunt home from hospital today, her little tree is still up. Only because she was too ill to take it down (I did offer but shes fiercely independent), but still. Was nice to see.

    Never have been left up before, it usually goes up on the town's facebook page in early November when they are being fitted and they announce the turning on date also.

    They actually are really good quality lights, the street looks brilliant when they're lit.

    Not out of season for some but I had a Baileys coffee on a whim and I normally only have them at Christmas! It was delish 🤗

    Walked by this house again yesterday and they still have the tree up. It was during the day, so I'm not sure if they're still turning on the lights. I'll have to do a night time drive by to check!

    Spotted in Aldi this evening!


    Also walked past a house in Limerick yesterday with two window boxes saying "Merry Christmas"

    Was in the local Supervalu this evening and saw a Christmas stand on the end of one of the aisles selling their stock of goose fat that they didn't shift for the roasters

    8 out 10 Cats Countdown Christmas Special was on one of the satellite channels last night. Sean Lock was such a great comedian.

    Carrot in a box is one of the best things that's ever been on TV.

    I'm defrosting the freezer today - feels like a very Christmassy job, but I didn't get around to it in early December.

    My local Dunnes were selling off their jars of mincemeat for 75c. They're in date until Sept 2025, so I couldn't resist buying one. Not sure if I'll use or save it until Christmas time!

    We use it the odd time with puff pastry & make mincemeat parcels, gorgeous with some Vanilla ice cream.

    Hmmm, starting to miss my stollen & mince pies.... may need to get some fruit cake soon to quell those cravings.😀

    Mmm, sounds tasty very easy too.

    The mincemeat got me in the mood and I've just been looking up fruit cake recipes. I have a few odds and ends of dried fruit leftover from the Christmas baking that I'll use up making an Easter Cake.

    Now you have me thinking about simnel cake. Loads of fruit leftovers here too, probably even the marzipan.

    My 16yo and his (female!!) friend have booked the kitchen on Saturday to make onigiri (rice sushi type thing). I may have to get there first and get some baking done... cookies or cupcakes maybe. Same 16yo baked me choc chop muffins for mothers day and they were delicious. Has me in the mood for fresh bakes.

    Is there anything worse ( Christmas related) than watching something you recorded at Christmas and you watch it now only to find the ads are full of Christmas cheer!?

    It's not too bad from now on, but I always found it a little sad when it happens early in the new year and memories of Christmas are fresh in the mind.

    Battery powered fairy lights with timer still running on a bush outside the back door in April. How long will they last?

    Savage voice cast there. I only found out Fiona Shaw was Irish this year. I must have been living under a rock.
