I love opening my Christmas boxes

Especially when I discover that I’d obviously bought more things in the January sales than I though 😁

I’ve only opened one box so far and discovered I’ve bought

2 x Christmas piñatas
New table cloth
12 colour your own place mats (there are only 5 of us🤷🏼‍♀️)
LED tiara Christmas Tree topper, not sure which tree it’s going on as it dosnt match any of my colours.
Christmas tumblers
A Christmas game
Some tree decorations (right colours this time)

Havnt found any crackers or cards yet, I actually can’t remember if I bought any but I usually do. I still have 2 boxes to go, can’t wait to see what else I’ve forgotten I bought 😂

Haha I do this 😂 Though last year with Covid I think I didn’t go sales shopping, so when I looked at some of the boxes a couple of months ago I was actually shocked how little wrapping paper and stuff I had! Very unusual for me.

I have a weakness for Christmas cards, and have a cardboard box of them that have been building up, so I oughtn’t to get more; but then every year I just see some lovely ones….

I am trying to cut down on my Christmas hoarding - storage of Christmas stuff is getting increasingly problematic!

Haha I have a bunch of Christmas cards in a box too. Every year I say right I will send to x, y & z but never get round to it.

My Christmas boxes grow every year, I’m now up to 2 patio boxes, 1 145ltr storage box, 4 bauble storage boxes and a cake tub (I obviously ran out of room last year).

I knew I bought wrapping paper last year as I have them in my wrapping paper boxes that I store all wrapping paper in.

I should add the cards I usually get in the sales are the ones for my DDs to use for school friends, 3 kids x 30 per class is a bloody pain, I’m just glad 2 of them can actually write their own cards now.
