DD’s old dance school have done their show!

We didn’t used to be able to put the tree up until after the dance show, so dd had space to practice. She doesn’t dance anymore, but that always felt like a good time to start Christmas, so I keep an eye on her old dance school’s FB page!

It's not Christmas until I've watched Hans Gruber fall from Nakatomi Plaza.

…Until my dh puts Last Christmas on very loudly for a little dance around the kitchen. As soon as I hear those opening beats that it 🎄🍾

That is the start of Christmas for me 🎄

Mine changes but when I feel I can legitimately eat a mince pie with a Baileys is when I know it’s Christmas.

It’s not Christmas until the panettone gets cut, and it doesn’t get cut until I finish work for the holiday Grin

I bought it on dvd I don't know how many years ago! At least a decade. We usually go and buy our tree the day school breaks up, decorate it in the afternoon and then settle down to watch. We usually watch it in 2 sittings over 2 days.

Wham and Mariah!

Our church choir come out of the vestry at 6.30 pm on Christmas Eve and we sing ' Once in royal David's city'. Christmas doesn't begin for me until then

@DidgeDoolittle

It used to be when the Coca Cola advert was on the telly. However, it was on last night, which was far too early. I'll have to think of something else now.
Yes, I think this too! I saw it this weekend too. I quite liked it!
