Fellatio's Poncetastic Christmas Thread 2011 is.....

[FellatioNelson]

open for business. Knock yerselves out.

I am soooooking forward to ponctastic christmas ME edition, where a fondness for frozen turkey, cheap tinsle and tinned pate know no bounds

Oh you have to let me on this thread! And I need to tell my sister about it. She isn't allowed to start christmas prep til after thanksgiving (it's emotional abuse really...) but we have a secret countdown the DHs don't know about. It can now be on here and we can feel validated by the other nutters organised people.

No, no - I am not having a word said against tinsel. I love it. Besides, what else do you festoon the tree with?

Fellatio I'm thinking it will be a no on the turkey

Laurie - what chutney recipe do you use? And if I make it now will it keep until Christmas and after? I would really like to make some to give as gifts.

On pinterest full throttle from today. Between here and there it will be a truely Poncetastic Christmas

Look, people, this is not just any old Christmas thread, this is the world famous Fellatio's Poncetastic Christmas thread, and it must not feature tinsel .

Them's the rules. You can talk about tinsel on the other Christmas threads if you so wish. They are not under my remit. Otherwise what is the point in keeping it Poncestastic? We may just as well do away with all other threads about Christmas and let all manner of riff-raff discuss inferior baublage on this one, and I am sorry but I cannot let that happen. You are still allowed on my thread but you have to keep your Plebian Predilictions for tinsel under your hat please. We have standards to uphold. It's a bit like being made to wear a collar and tie in the Royal Enclosure.

Just spotted this thread and squealed!
DH came in to check I was ok, so I explained. He backed out of the room slowly.
I've already made a lot of chutney, we had a glut of apples and tomatoes. Never made it before, so I hope it turns out ok. Used this recipe, but did it in the slow cooker. Smells nice, so if all else fails I'll heat it up and waft it about the house.

hooray!!!!

yet again i will be aiming for poncetastic but fear i may well fall short thanks to efforts of DH, DS (2.5yo) and DD (5mo).

besides tinsel what else is banned?

can i offer aunt bessies anything for the poncetastic room 101?

what do you put on the tree if not tinsel?

I'm making Christmas bunting to go on the tree - Is that poncetastic enough or too last year dahlink?

Poncetastic thread appearance is this kick in the arse I need to get going on cake and mincemeat. Ocado order on Monday will be full of dried vine fruits and Pedro Ximénez.

Delia cake, as general consensus seems to be that it is The Best. Am on the lookout for a new mincemeat recipe.

Also planning appropriately Christmassy poncetastic tableaux in which to take photo of cherubic toddler for Christmas cards. Is it too much to ask for a small amount of snow in October?

Just marking my place

Oh Yeah.

Cake, done and being fed weekly. Delia's natch, it IS the best.

Pudding done, Mary Berry's, feeding it too from time to time.

Mincemeat being done tomorrow actually. Can post my recipe on here should anyone want a squizz.

This will be my first Christmas in England (and therefore a cold one) in 8 years and I am VERY VERY VERY excited.

i was dreaming about this thread the other night, wondering when it would appear

so this will be our first christmas eve/morning at home, as we now live within striking distance of both sets of family , which means we can have a tree, decorations and poncy breakfast for the first time ever. HOORAY! i'm not overstretching myself though as have incessantly demanding but lovely baby DD as well as DS now, therefore e.g. hand stitching cards is probably beyond me, but making yummy dried orange decorations is probably not.

Can I join in please?

I've been pissing all my mates off by telling them I have nearly finished all my present shopping. The only one who isnt miffed is the one who is worse than me!

I've wrapped and labeled everything I have bought so far with 4 layers of different coloured tissue paper, gold ribbon and home made tags. I'm just doing an online shop for my mincemeat ingredients and for some materials to make garlands and a weath out of herbs and berries.

I also have 3 carrier bags of apples so if anyone can think of something I can do with them instead of pie and crumbles I would be most appreciative.

I am so pleased! I thought it was tomorrow. I'm having a crap, crap, crap time and relying on you all to cheer me up with your Christmas poncetasticness.

Shamelessly lurked during the last thread, but have found myself getting a little bit excited about the new thread so i'm delurking for this year.

And yay! for Pinterest - ooooo so much ponce!

Lill - here

woohooo I wanna join, I love peop[le who love christmas as much as me. I've been doing a countdown to christmas on my FB page with hints and tip and moneysaving tips and offers on toys etc.

Thank you Martyr. I'll do this on Monday and leave it in the cooker while I'm at college.

I have been hoarding crochet lace this year, I am planning lace as an alternative to ribbon/bauble string/tinsel. It might look terrible, which is OK as I have many, many boxes of other ribbons , but I am hoping it'll look fabulous against the green spruce.

It's about now I crack open years worth of stored Country Living and similar Christmas magazines and pore. Pore in a porn-y way

Huzzah for Fellatio's thread, long may she ponce.

maybe the time is right to reclaim tinsel? Maybe it is so uncool as to be cool?
