This may flop, but there was a thread a few days ago that could have turned nasty...instead, it turned out to be the loveliest thread I've read on MN in ages! Everyone chatting about what they love about Christmas, lots of jokes and laughter!

So while this isn't a thread about a thread, I thought it'd be nice to have a little "How's your Christmas going?" thread! Mulled wine not essential to joining in. 😁

We're in Norway now - my DH is Norwegian so we have his late dad's old home. We'll be here for the holiday, and that means we'll basically be decorating twice as we also decorate our house in the UK. 🎄 I can't complain!

Arrived yesterday and there's SNOW. We've picked a tree, MIL is on her way around with a vast array of decorations, and the kids are on a total sugar high. She's been kind enough to stock us with food until tomorrow when we can go shopping, and there are bakery items so obviously that means mince pies.

I may or may not be wearing an elf hat that says "Mummy Elf". 🧑‍🎄

Come, be merry, bring silliness and good cheer all round! 🎄🎅🎁🍷

Aww I bet being in Norway at this time of year is gorgeous!

Ive just got to my mum and dads (they live an hour away, I’m staying for a week!), and my mum is hosting a little buffet for friends and family tonight. We dress up glam, eat delicious food and do quizzes. My boyfriend is on his way (we drove separately as he’s going home Christmas Day to be with his family), and before the guests come we get to tell my mum and dad some lovely news… I’m pregnant 😍

I adore this time of year and I’m so excited and content to be home, after a busy few weeks.

Oh wow, congratulations!! 🎊 That's so lovely! Being pregnant at Christmas is the best, I know it's restrictive in some ways with the food/booze but it feels so special! Your mum and dad will be made up I bet!

It's lovely to be home at Christmas, best feeling in the world to go back and surrounded by people you love. I'm loving the sound of your quizzes - totally might have to steal that for our Christmas Eve fun. Here they celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, so there'll be the get together then and we do presents on the 25th British style. That's usually nice and quiet which is needed after the night before. 😂

There's no mincemeat for mince pies so I'm currently cobbling some very strange fruit tarts together while DH wrestled the tree into its stand!
