Morning!

New thread for the new day. Temperature is starting to drop again and it's going to be rather chilly for the weekend and the start of December!

Let's see if we need thread 9 or not! Xmas Grin

It's 9ft crazy and yet it reaches the ceiling. Go big or go home is my motto when it comes to Christmas trees 😂

Just come out of Frozen 2, DS' first proper cinema visit (have done things like Bing and Hey Duggee at the cinema before but not a proper film).

And no, Wreck. It doesn't help. Doesn't stop us though. Xmas Blush Xmas Grin

Are, not our. Bloody autocorrect.

Thanks, Emrys. I bought loads more baubles this year so it's rammed with them!

Here's the kids' tree! 🎄🎄🎄

We could get a 10ft tree in here if we wanted to. However, we go for 6ft on a table so we have room underneath it! The width of a taller one would be prohibitive too. 😂

Flouncy, tinsel is not for me. The kids are welcome to it! Xmas Grin

That's lovely, Mrs. You've been busy!

Woolly, your advent calendar is similar to the one my DM made for the kids. 🎄

I've just put my woolly nativity under the tree. DS loves it (DD hasn't spotted it yet!).

Crazy you will have a great hols and you will not miss home when you are there honestly you won't even give it a thought . Mum is knitting a terrible blanky for Zimbabwe women and children. I am not exaggerating when l say it is hideous 😁
