@PenguinsOnParade In the last picture they can't even spell Claus correctly! I think that's what makes the crafts really bad - spelling and grammar has got to be perfect if you're asking money for it!

@NatashaAlianovaRomanova - Thanks, I should have realised it was something like that. Just looks like a lost sales tag from an Elf on the Shelf toy to me. Blush

@inappropriateraspberry - Unless the letter is from the Tim Allen movie instead. Grin But I noticed that too and I totally agree with you.

Fiver, I'm more concerned about why she would advertise it lay face down like that 🤔

When did Christmas Eve boxes become a thing?

@Newkitchen123

When did Christmas Eve boxes become a thing?
They've been around for a few years now. Just like another stocking really! Usually new PJs to wear that night and a dvd etc. I don't bother, got enough to do thanks!

@PenguinsOnParade

I've just seen the crocheted vegetables in mine too. I actually rather like them. Blush

I've seen the Santa licence idea before but I'm confused as to what the elf thing is.

I don't understand why there is a striped penis sporting a wonky condom on the Elf card.

@batteriesgoing

That house scene looks like a someone’s gone ‘urban exploring’ to find the haunted ruins of Balamory.
There’ll be more pics of peeling wallpaper/Miss Hooley’s trashed classroom/PC Plum’s eerie interrogation (torture) room.

Like Silent Hill but with more yoghurt pots and early 00’s fashion.

batteriesgoing · 03/10/2020 22:12

@QueenArseClangers awful isn't it?! I can't decide if it's worse than the beheaded clangers

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 03/10/2020 22:12

Love the waistcoat and tie. We tend to dress up a bit for Christmas and dad would look fab in that.

Lola4 Those log reindeers were made by kids at school and sold for charity. So brought one. Although the ones they made look much better than those ones

OP, you have no idea how my heart leapt when I read the title of this thread...

Christmas frog anyone Grin

Mrsmadevans · 03/10/2020 22:18

I like the Balamory street 😳

Mrsmadevans · 03/10/2020 22:19

Froggy needs to go a courting 😁

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 03/10/2020 22:20

The Gin family would love the frog

tobedtoMNandfart · 03/10/2020 22:29

My eyes!

Surely be more convenient to just stay home and rip up tenners?!

Iola4 · 03/10/2020 22:34

GinWithASplashOfTonic...I love the idea of kids making these things, my 2 make the wooden disc tree decorations each year and I love them, my youngest is obsessed with making sock snowmen filled with rice and googly eyes stuck on...they are very crazy looking but they are just manifestations of his wonderful craziness.
I agree with you about some of the kids efforts and offerings being better than Facebook marketplace/eBay etc!

Vivana...'nearly new' ! A bargain at a fiver then!

Balamory mock up crime scene/ghost hunting....😂 Silent Hill!

There is something about the magic of Christmas which is when kids make handmade Christmas decorations. My parents still hang the paper angel I made at nursery 25+ years ago on the tree. It gets tattier every year but it's become a tradition on itself

Disorganiseddad · 03/10/2020 22:48

Anyone want an anorexic snowman?

Iola4 · 03/10/2020 22:49

GinWithASplashOfTonic...yes I love this.
I am guilty of this too.
I think I need to dig out the angel my parents first had and now passed to me for the tree top...DH says it's possessed (cheeky fecker). Hopefully I'll be able to post a pic tomorrow unless it's possessing the garage!

inappropriateraspberry · 03/10/2020 23:00

Anything made by your children is priceless. These things are priceless in a different way 😆

heuchterteuchter · 03/10/2020 23:03

oooh my fave thread. spotted some shitty baubles already on my local selling pages!!

inappropriateraspberry · 03/10/2020 23:03

£20 for a bear covered in foam flowers? 🤨

Knitted sprouts anyone?

Oh, I genuinely do want these! They're so cute. And I'm in a weird family of sprout lovers. I used to be the sole sprout hater but was 'converted' at about 15. I'd buy them for everybody's stocking.
