So.....................how many days now until Christmas 2014?

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

We need a new thread to continue the very successful countdowns of 2013 and 2012.

And before anyone does the face (or face ) take a look at some of the 'Panic Threads' at the end of December when people were "Twitching" and stressing.

Organisation is key.

(I just need to find somewhere that'll work out how many days it is )

Bum too early .....my PC says it's 00.02 though

Yay

I've just read the thread and now I want to watch Christmas films and drink hot chocolate. The sun is shining and it's lovely and warm but I am craving a Christmas fix

DD and I love "Lost Christmas" ( Eddie Izzard film) at any time of year

My DD has an app on her iPhone and told me (through the bathroom door while I was showering how many days/hours/minutes there were )

Not even had my birthday yet but it's overshadowed by her birthday anyway

222 days! still so far away....

221 getting nearer though kiss.

In three weeks we'll be looking at 200 then we'll be into the hundreds

DD has a June birthday so I know by then we're halfway
Don't Panic

Urgh.

I've bought some lovely decorations on ebay though and a couple of other bits.

220 I collected a huge bag of fir cones yesterday to keep for my Christmas crafts.

There are tons of fir cones on a road near me
I used to go down there with bags and the DC would collect them and at Christmas we'd spray them silver/gold.

I remember one year looking in December for fir cones but they actually fell from the trees in April/May

There is something going on with fir cones this year, they are all huge perfectly open and there are hundreds of them. I took 2 big bag full into nursery yesterday and have another big bag again today.

Good afternoon everyone. I've emptied out my designated holidays/Xmas fund to go on holiday.
Have to build it up again.

Have emptied a couple of boxes and set them aside as "present" boxes and am definitely starting to buy gifts from next week.

I never knew thst about about fir cones: Mumsnet: edumacational

I had a Christmas dream last night! In it I asked my dh the date and he said 24th December, I had basically forgotten about Christmas and we didn't have any presents, food or Christmas tree I remember in my dream trying to find food and presents in Tesco. Very bizarre!!!

That's a sign that you have to start now 50 and redoubling your efforts

I agree smiles I'd better put the sprouts on
