307 days till Christmas

Do I have the record for the first Christmas thread of 2012?

191

191 days to go - I can practically hear those sleigh bells!

The weather here is so cold and miserable here, it could be November!

I was in HomeSense this morning and there was a lovely smell of cinnamon (like Philosophy "Cinnamon Buns" ) .
Christmas in a Bottle - felt quite festive for a second

Got my supply of Christmas cookie Yankee candle tea lights from eBay yesterday. Last year the candles I bought were too big for the Santa ornament they burn in. This year I am Prepared!

Christmas Cookie- they are gorgeous.
There's a Christmas Cupcake one that I got last year, Sparlking Cinnamon one is lovely too.

(I bought a mega bottle of Philosophy Vanilla Cookie shower gel and it was just like Christmas Cookie.)

Don't want to start a fight here Rabid but the other thread is saying today is 190 days.

Go and sort them out, I'll hold your coat...

188 they are wrong 70

I knew that other thread had to be wrong

If they're only going to come into the game this late on, how can we be sure of their facts?

I have to start getting out into the summer sales and pick up a few things for this Christmas. I am so far behind with my thinking, let alone purchasing. And crafting ideas are, mostly, put away as dreams for next year. Unless I get a rush of blood to the head in the latter 3 weeks of July and get loads done then as I am off - but DD needs minding and packing for hols needs doing and house needs clearing and sorting....which one will win?

That Christmas Countdown link - before it is maximised- said 88 days. The 1 from 188 was hidden.

DD got very excited, I had a moment of panic

187

DD logged on to the countdown app on DH's ipod last night, she "just wanted to check"!! And got all excited.

to be fair, she had just spent 20 mins going through the calendar for July and August to figure out what weeks she would be doing what over the summer break, followed by turning on the computer to check the details of the GAA camp she's going to 1 week - checked for Christmas coming soon - and then went to play the ice cream game on moshi monsters!! (She's 6 and knows her way around the tech at home better than I do)

Monday is the 25th June so we'll be exactly 6 months to go

And a red lamp.

Red lamp - hmmmmmmmm.
Either red light district or
Channelling evil spirits (according to medium Doris Stokes, evil spirits found red light was easier to access the living world)
Bet you wanted to know that

Ooooooh, loving Christmas already - although my few presents that I already purchased have been given as emergency oh shit I forgot it's your birthday presents!!
