christmas decorations....

[leekandpotato]

I like a lot of red and try and add something christmasy to every room.

But I may have gone a little too far and tacky. I couldnt stop myself, and have ordered a santa bathroom set and toilet rolls and front door mat from amazon.

hubby is not going to like it one bit.

AIBU?

Poundland have Santa chair covers. That toilet seat cover is quite something!

I cover everything in tinsel.

Does The Hubbster not love Crimbo? Bumz 2 the MAX

pop a tinsel cap in his ass

oh no. i dont put up the decorations until December.

I have planned the christmas dinner table as well. red with a bit of white.
Each guest gets a red place setting.
Each guests glass has a christmas charm. a red candy cane with a label and joke. a red father christmas peg on a fake moustache for them to wear.
a party popper. red christmas cracker. red napkins.
table decs are red santa tea lights, red beads, red candles red wooden christmas tree red christmas salt and pepper sets. red gravy boats. santa serving spoons.

have i over done the red stuff?

Well, I think if it fits in with the stuff you generally buy it will be fine.

Now, would you like to buy a glittery Lambrini bottle and glasses ? Positively festooned in glitter?

If the answer is yes, then your Santa stuff will fit in just fine.

You know if Santa gets caught short in your house after all the drinks people leave out for him - if he nips to your bathroom, spots your Santa loo roll and realises you've been wiping your arse on his face there will be nothing under your tree Christmas morning. Nothing. Naked tree-bottom and empty, empty stockings.

Please think this through. It can only lead to heartbreak.

It sounds bloody brilliant leeky, your guests will have a great time with all the effort you've put in to it

Hahaha castlemilk, get that on video and it's guaranteed to go viral

my front room is going to be a bit red as well. with white reindeer.

I have red throws, red christmas pillows. and will have a real tree with red decorations.
I have brought red tea lights as well.

so mainly red with hint of white.

I have some red christmas mugs that we use all of december.

I think it's fine to buy as much of that crap as you want, as long as it is reusable and will be loved year after year . The problem is that most of the tat gets shoved in a bin after one or a few uses- imported plastic Eco deadly shit that ends up in land fill .
I know I'm a billy bah hum bug btw .

Loving the idea of having santas face looking up innocently before one lifts it up then desecrates in his ...throat?

You may have started some constipation issues within the family but otherwise...its fun isnt it

Does everyone have to change into a themed onsie when they get home from Dec 1?

I've been resisting buying a Christmas door mat, but really I long for one. I have bought a towel set though and that makes me very happ.

exactly walton

plastic cack!!! thats xmas for you

but much worse is toys packaging AAAAAGGGHHHH

'before one lifts it up then desecrates in his ...throat?'

I can't work out whether desecrate is a typo or not

Love it!

Wish my toilet had a beard...

I've been doing serious Christmas shopping online this evening - am now going to happily hit the Christmas tat with gay abandon!

No, its not a typo?

Have I spilt an infinitive or something?

Descicrate means be dis respectful...which it would seem to be seeing as his face is on loo seat op and his shoulderns and body come out at the mat..

I have hand towels for the bathroom with "Mr Claus" and "Mrs Claus" on them. I have also bought some Christmas cushions from M & S which are under my desk at work because I daren't bring them home yet. (DH is about as festive as Scrooge at Christmas.)

Oh that is horrible and hilarious. I want one, but OH would hate it almost as much as he hates the zombie gnome.

I also bought a Christmas rug in Macy's when I was in New York the other week. That's been hidden too, to be produced when we are decorating, in an "Oh we've had this for years" sort of way.

I'm trying to reconcile my tree guilt. Real = water to grow,chemicals,transportation and obviously the tree is cut down .
Fake= plastic.
We do decorate the sitting room and kitchen but, the kids want a tree. Last year I did the ikea bargain but felt bad . The kids loved it though. I can't criticise one womans love of a santa themed downstairs bog and then jolly off to buy a tree can I ?
What is a Walton to do ?
Off to bed and worry tomorrow .
Enjoy your shopping mners. I love Christmas .

Thanks for the definition Knitted y'cheeky fucking mare

I was thinking it had changed it from defecate.

get a potted tree- the only problem is mine has grown and thrived beautifully buts its at a very wonkly angle from when I repotted it, hey ho!

We visited an American friend who decorated her whole house for Xmas. Every room was a complete xmas makeover including bathroom. The Santa shower curtain was quite freaky! Don't do it! Twenty years later visitors will be posting the experience on mumsnet!

I must get this toilet set. My DH adores anything with Santa on. He calls him "Mon ami". He's an old man (DH I mean) but turns into a little boy at Christmas. He goes round our regional city centre actually talking to models of Santa, stroking them and speaking in Malinke, asking for all sorts of presents. He'd dearly love to visit Santa's Grotto at our garden centre.

If I got this loo set he'd never leave the bathroom.... totally BRILLIANT!!

oh! I WANT a santa shower curtain now!
