That I hereby declare the Fellatio's Poncetastic Christmas Thread Part 4 open for business.

For those of you who do not know WTF I am on about, read this from 2010 by way of explanation:

OK, first of all, I know it's still September by we need to start this thread now because as you all know, having a truly Poncetastic Christmas involves precision planning, strategy, bravery, heroics, and frequently martyrdom. A bit like the war in Afghanistan, only with nicer food and sparkly shoes.

So, if you, like me, actually want to make the next twelve weeks of your life a misery by hand-crafting your cards, finding a huge bucket for Nigella's turkey in brine, pickling pears, shrivelling oranges in a low oven for those rustic au naturel decorations, dragging half a holly bush back from the woods, and just generally being a smug annoying jobsworth ponce, join me on this thread.

Feel free to post photos of previous tree-trimming, cake icing or table centrepiece triumphs, discuss this year's bauble colour themes, debate the merits of Delia versus Gordon, road-test a selection of canapes and cocktails, (all in the line of duty) and link to lovely inspirational photos/craft ideas for a truly Poncetastic Christmas.

Warning: If your idea of a good Christmas involves Pizza, ITV, gravy granules or anything with 'Aunt Bessies' on the packet, this is not the thread for you.

If you want to read the previous three threads for Christmas 2010, 2011 and 2012 search my name in the Christmas topic.

In the words of the great Mike Reid from Runaround, G-G-G-G-G- GO!

Hello
I just wanted to come on and say, cos I have never been able to do so before and probably won't again
I won't be having a ponce-tastic Christmas in any way this year because I'm upduffed (Will be 35 weeks at start of advent) and don't even know if I'll be at home for it.

BUT BUT BUT I have done all my preps - and bought a v tasteful faux (i know that technically thats an oxymoron but it does look loverly) pre-lit
tree for hassle-prevention

Though I will be having a lovely natural wreath for my door made by a friend.

Baubles will be navy and gold this year.
Bought my glittery advent calendars
Done everything for stockings except the Naice chocolate coins which I haven't seen yet.
There are some damsons in my freezer but since I won't be able to enjoy it this year I may make the gin/vodka and save until next.

I did find some GORGEOUS fabric on eBay today and then thought it would wait until next year

Happy Poncetastic Prepping all of you

PS nice thread about poncerific wrapping here
