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 )

Ah well, you still have about 294 days to go.
Many of them can be shopping days

Indeed

I am sorting out Easter stuff at the moment (I still have my Easter Tree from last year- basically white painted twigs imbedded in a pot of putty for stability and weight. The pot is in a decorated Easter Bucket. Then I hang decorated eggs on it. - £ Shop bargains)
Not quite a Christmas Tree but, near enough

"Easter tree" [WIDE EYED]

Ohh yes.
IIRC there were a few threads about Easter Trees and this months Essential magazine had one in the Easter Ideas Section

We did an Easter tree last year - basically it was a large twig painted white with foam eggs stuck to it and then stuck in a money jar to keep it upright. Looked a mess but dd loved making it!! Also going to do an Easter egg hunt for the kids in the family with loads of cheap eggs, DVDs and books. Actually last year I put in some presents that I had forgotten to give at Christmas.

It may seem OTT but compared to my elaborate Christmas plans - it's quite tame! And plus my dcs are little so they love anything like that.

I love this thread. Whenever I my four year old asks "When's Christmas? How many more days?" I refer here.

Best to ask MaryZ about all things Christmassy.

She loves talking about Christmas any day of the year - I bet she knows how many "minutes" till Christmas!

we could PM her?

Better get your flameproof suit on though. D'you think MaryZ does all her Christmas Shopping on the 23rd December ?

No! that early?

I thought she did it an hour before shops close on Christmas Eve!

I don't need a flameproof suit, she loves me!

Naughty Zing naughty

very naughty indeed!

you know I kind of feel like doing all her shopping for her, getting the tree, do decorations, buy food etc. so she doesn't have to.

wouldn't that be a good surprise?

Yes.

Had a weird christmas dream last night! I put dc2's presents in front of her in a little pile all wrapped and everything (don't know where dc1 was) the Christmas tree was just the bottom bit of a tree with lights on and then I realised it was only the 17th of Dec and took the presents away all very odd!

50

poor her!

I saw the 50 and thought it was the countdown.
Someones been going some with the counting or I've lost 237 days sleeping ( it could be done)

But it's "shades" .
Christmas dreams always panic me too. Usually I haven't done something, it's never about lovely snow filled countryside and log fires

70!

Who is maryZ?
