Cheer me up whilst I am incapacitated with my bust ankle
Ligaments.

Are you doing anything festive this weekend or is it still to early. I'd planned to go shopping this evening then the a Christmas market and do bits of shopping out and about. Instead I'm Laid up on the sofa with my ankle Swelling!

Give me Inspiration for when my ankle is better.

We have tickets for the Santa train.
And a Christmas Market.

FionnulaTheCooler · 26/11/2021 15:42

Going to put up the decorations this weekend and hopefully wrap a few more presents. The weather is meant to be pretty shite here so looks like I'll be staying in.

There's a Christmas festival on this weekend in my town, Victorian Carol singers and a small Christmas Market, snow machine and led giant baubles for the kids to play around in, Christmas lights switch on tomorrow night and then the Father Christmas grotto opens with real reindeer on Sunday. I'll enjoy it more than the kids I think

NM1819 · 26/11/2021 15:45

I'm working on a pom pom garland for Christmas, maybe going to do a light safari in the car as a lot of our local towns switch on tonight/over the weekend.

MintJulia · 26/11/2021 15:46

Going to the Christmas market in Newbury. Taking my ds so that he can choose something for his dad.

Then getting him a haircut, ordering a new passport for his French trip next year,

Then pouring some more whisky into the Xmas pud. And writing Xmas cards ready to send the overseas ones.

Hetyanni · 26/11/2021 15:47

I'm going to a wreath making workshop tonight with my sister - really looking forward to it!

Then planning a deep clean over the weekend ready for the tree etc on Wednesday.

Was thinking of going to Covent Garden as I think the kids will love the snow/Frozen display but we have sleet forecast so maybe next month.

WayshrineNotFound · 26/11/2021 15:48

It's our local town's lights switch on, with a market, carols and all that. I'm not feeling Christmassy at all, but I'm putting the tree up tomorrow, and we'll go have a look at the market. Maybe it'll put me in the mood.

scooterbear · 26/11/2021 15:49

Shopping both online and in Cambridge (where We also take a long and boozy lunch), putting up tree, and spray pairing some branches for a table centre piece. Excited!

Claptone · 26/11/2021 15:51

Eating a mince pie with my coffee's throughout the weekend. Festive as fuck Grin

DementedPanda · 26/11/2021 15:51

All outdoors Christmas stuff has been cancelled here due to storm arwen. So planning a nice day of putting the tree up, nice food and Christmas songs.

Goneback2school · 26/11/2021 15:53

I'm in Ireland so it's the Late Late Toy Show tonight and I might start decorating over the weekend.

Nidan2Sandan · 26/11/2021 15:56

Erm, does a karate black belt grading count?? Grin

I have friends coming over on sunday and if we have time may get the xmas trees out of the loft. That's about it!

reluctantbrit · 26/11/2021 16:03

Making the advent wreath for Sunday to light the first candle.

Making a Gingerbread House

Wrapping presents to send off to grandparents next week.

Moomarre · 26/11/2021 16:04

Making a wreath, baking gingerbread men and going to Christmas light switch on (weather permitting). Not decorating yet but did get the Christmas playmobil out today!

Peridot1 · 26/11/2021 16:06

Starting to get the Xmas stuff down from the loft tomorrow afternoon.

Then doing a wreath making workshop on Sunday afternoon.

Need to feed the cake.

And will hopefully find the advent wreath I bought last year in the loft to get that going.

christmaself2020 · 26/11/2021 16:28

Country living Christmas fair. Lots of mad expensive stuff but pretty to look at that. Then a hospital charity Christmas fair on Sunday
Plus buying the Christmas tree ready for Wednesday 🎄

christmaself2020 · 26/11/2021 16:30

Oh and making the wreath for the door!

popcorndiva · 26/11/2021 16:30

Christmas decorations tomorrow
Light trail on Sunday though it's meant to be freezing so will have to walk quick

MinnieMountain · 26/11/2021 16:31

Making Lebkuchen with DS. I’ve just made the spice mix. It smells amazing.

TheProvincialLady · 26/11/2021 16:31

Feeding the Christmas cake. Otherwise, nothing. It’s November, far too early for me to be doing anything Christmassy!

generalh · 26/11/2021 16:32

Getting our tree but not putting it up until tuesday or Wednesday. Keeping it in our greenhouse. It is the only window of opportunity until 17th December so taking it.

MintyCedric · 26/11/2021 16:35

Ploughing through my Hobbycraft stash so I can get the decorations up next week!

What Christmassy things are you doing this weekend?
ApplePippa · 26/11/2021 16:41

Off to Blenheim this evening for the light trail - very excited!

Then on Sunday will enjoy the lighting of the first advent candle at church, and 'be got the first mince pies of the season for tea. No decorating yet - I'm mid-December decorator - but might start making a wreath over the weekend.
