Is there a Christmas magazine?

[lucysmam]

That's it really!

TIA

Plenty of monthly magazines do a Christmas edition.

I was thinking one that's just xmas. What's good for xmas section?

Haven't bought a mag in ages & don't want to buy something rubbish that I'll not enjoy

Depends what you want.....decor, craft, cooking?

Bit of everything is one does that? If not then cooking, can find craft ideas on here or t'internet

Yes it's called the Lakeland catalogue

Seriously BBC Good food does a christmas issue as does good housekeeping.

Good Housekeeping is quite good at Xmas, Ideal Home, House Beautiful are also ok.

Ooh, think I'll browse in Tesco before I buy anything!

wmmc, I've been browsing Lakeland online, thinking about a trip to York for a wander round (& take dc's to Railway Museum too)

lucysmam.... I used to buy all the Christmas editions of all the mags I liked every year (Good Housekeeping/Living/Good Food etc etc) but then realised that rarely was there anything new in there. Well worth going to your local library and looking at Christmas books - I honestly think you'd find most of the same stuff in there !)

I know what you mean lilo. Yet I still feel compelled to buy Good Housekeeping, Good Food etc every christmas. Its a bit like the tradition of only ever buying Radio Times at Christmas and never, ever, ever TV Times (how cheap and tacky).

There's never anything decent in our local library lil but I'll have a look around some of the others I live close-ish to over the next few weeks.

Will still treat myself to a mag though, I haven't had one for ages & fancied one I might get something useful out of as well as a half decent read

I was looking yesterday and theres no xmassy ones out yet ......

How bizzarre, my computer said explorer wasn't responding but it still posted my post

There's a Christmas Shop in St Andrews that is open all year round. I have forced cajoled DH to make the 2 hour drive there 3 times this month so that I can buy shite buy beautiful things for my house

Good Housekeeping is the last word in Christmas prep as far as I am concerned :) Always buy from October - December without fail.

I bought a magazine yesterday called 'the Christmas magazine'. It's quite good, although not convinced that 'vegetarians will just love sprout pate'

Where was that from SeriousWispa? What kind of stuff's in it?

Will take dd to town through the week if we can get it from somewhere there

& maybe Good Housekeeping too

There is a 'Christmas Magazine'. I have seen it in Tesco and WH Smiths. It covers most things. Good luck and enjoy :)

ohh im going looking .

Will try Tesco round the corner for Christmas Magazine to save the trip to town, if not then town it is! Thanks al

Yes - I bought The Christmas Magazine from Tesco last week. £3.99. It's quite good actually, craft stuff, decorations, things to do with the children, recipes etc

what does it look like???

I can find it

Purply colour with a wreath on the front. It was packaged up in that plastic wrap stuff with another magazine called Yum!.

ohh im gonna go again tomorrow ty .

The Prima Christmas issue is out 28th Oct. Essentials has a 20 page section in the Nov edition (out now) of recipes and crafts for Christmas.

Seriouswispa, the only recipe for sprouts that attracted me was from Anton Mosimann the chef, he was on a tv prog years ago, when he was head chef at the Dorchester. He finely shredded the sprouts and stir fried them with pancetta, then added salt, pepper and grated nutmeg, and finished with cream. Even his children ate them.
