Got my Christmas jumper today

Happy Birthday in retrospect Sprours
Love the jumper (I thought it was a red faced penguin until I enlarged the photo then saw it was a Hat Wearing Horse )

Christmas Topic is well quiet, I think everyone is out shopping IRL.
DH and I went along Oxford St/Regent St yesterday (quieter on a weekday we thought, )
Some things I thought would be there weren't. I need Christmas pans for DD but none in M&S.

This weekend is tidying/normal shopping/ taking our DC To Open Days.

I might sneak a look at the GH mag Christmas edition.....

It’s a hat wearing unicorn lol

This one

Ah yes Unicorn ( Unicorns are The Thing now , love them )

By George I think I've done it! 'Scuse the state of me but this is me and ds modelling our new festive wear 😊

Yay muddling ❤️

Love the jumpers!

I have just spent the day shopping in Cardiff and exhausted now! Lots done though Take away for dinner for definite though.

Sprout... am loving the jumper think it is the nicest one I have seen tbh .
Thank you Wreck I am very pleased with it, am jealous of your full diary every weekend before Xmas lol
Fluffs fabulous box and such a good idea and I wouldn't be able to keep sweeties until Christmas so well done for not succumbing to the usual treats!
Ceebs, glad you had a great day in Cardiff thinking she is braver than me with the rugby on today it must have been mental there
Constant , I am all agog re the chocs , I want you to find them and try them to see if they are still ok lol
Muddling this is just wonderful news re your DS and his school , your christmas clobber looks wonderful and well done on the photos it took me forever and I don't think I could do it again

Fridge I take my bow lol
Handbag my oh is the same, he had to give in this year though because my DD1 is home from Uni atm and we always dress the tree together to Christmas music , it is a highlight of the year sobsob
I am so glad you are feeling better and I love that Unicorn!!!

Muddling you both look amazing

Mrs one of those weekends is ‘just’ getting the tree but that’s a whole day in itself!

Muddling, is that outfit toasty? You both look great!

Mrs, we have a cupboard rammed full of Christmas treats, I'm just not doing one of types of Christmas Eve boxes!

Great jumper, Sprouts!

I've just ordered my Yorkshire pudding and brownie tins from Lakeland. I just need to collect DH's present (I tried today but got to the framer too late), wrap it, and I'll be done (picked up his M&S undies today!).

Oh, oh...got back from town earlier and DH had voluntarily found Magic Christmas on the DAB radio so I returned to Christmas tunes. 🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄 I heard The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl...it's officially Christmas!

My influence has clearly rubbed off on him now. Yay!

Fluffs there is such a thing as a radio station dedicated to Christmas movies OMG thank you for telling me/us I also buy DH undies from M& S every Christmas great minds think alike
Wreck I would love to go Christmas tree hunting on a weekend it must be just lovely , all the pine smells just gorgeous !

Not movies , music!!!!

Mrs we go to a farm and take a tractor ride to the trees, choose your own one and they cut it down in front of you! 🎄🎄

Aw Wreck that is amazing I can smell the forest now just beautiful !

Thank you everyone..... I love this thread, you're all so lovely 😊

I didn't get round to reading Christmas mags, real life got in the way

Loving the Christmas jumpers Muddling!

Your DS has a lovely smile Muddling

I'm on my shopping trip with my DDs and my in-laws. Feeling a little fuzzy round the edges this morning 🍾🍾 but it's nothing that breakfast won't sort out. I've finished for the DDs and DS and I've got something ordered for DH that I need to pick up next week and then that will be him done too. Just little bits and bobs for nieces and nephews to get now.

We were listening to Heart Christmas in the car yesterday. In my old car I had a CD player and used to switch to my Christmas CDs on 1st December. DD1 has a friend that we used to take to school and she looked forward to the Christmas music starting. Every year since they left school she has texted DD1 to ask if the music had started and says she misses it.

I'm so late starting this year, but I changed my job in August and I've just not been able to think about it.
I need to make up for lost time! loving your Christmas jumpers!

Only 5 weeks to go, Where! But there's still time to catch up. Just!

I've done some online shopping today NoWord, I'm sure hope it will be fine eats more biscuits to calm nerves

They'd better be the M&S chocolate-y amazing ones, Where! They're amazing!

Chocolate hob nobs NoWord, I often find my motivation at the bottom of a packet of biscuits!
