... well it's been a busy last weekend making sure everything's perfect for the official start of Christmas in 4 days, Grin, but the tree' now up and decorated, last minute presents wrapped, cards written and ready to be posted, chest freezers all full to the brim with festive goodies, Christmas bedding on, food order done, my 6 secret santas sorted! I can now relax with mulled wine in front of the fire and my DH can get his DW back! - Each year it gets more manic but this year's been worse than I can remember despite it feeling like it's taken over my life since the kids went back in September!

I have to wash any clothes before I wear them too, and I have hot chocolate most nights in the winter.

Soon, has OP now been so super organised that she has now celebrated Christmas already so that she doesn't have the hassle of doing it in December with the rest of us?

I think it is magical because you wear your new pyjamas and snuggle with your children flogging. This clearly applies to more perfect families than mine, who would end up with one of the children fidgeting, one of them badgering the other to play Minecraft (because they didn't want to watch a film en famille) and at least one of us spilling hot chocolate.

Crumblevision - I like your Idea of bedding to celebrate the Day of the Dead. A quick google shows there is such a thing..

You will be able to fit in lots of Easter eggs in that.
