Anyone fancy a bit of Christmas/autumn chat? 🎄

[hotmumshit]

Been trying to get a thread going to no avail 😄😄

I'm so happy - this is the most wonderful time of the year, between now and December!

I've name changed but i'm a christmas regular

Love autumn and love Christmas

I adore this time of year!!!! Can’t wait for pumpkin picking and other autumnal activities!

I like Autumn, don't like Halloween - but absolutely love Christmas! Anyone bought anything for this year yet? 🎄

Welcome all 🙂

@SaraHoliday 👋 from the other thead

I havent done any shopping yet but ive been googling

So I want a leapfrog globe for her, you touch it and it gives facts about different countries

Stuffed toys

Its just me and her and dcat so not much to buy - but this year i want to eat well!

So regularly perusing the waitrose app 👀👀😄

I do like it, but that awkward bit where it's too warm to put the heating on, but you feel a bit chilly indoors (cold floors etc) is a PITA. It goes on for too long, but then who wants to spend money on heating before you really have to!

Can't dry any washing either.

Usually I'm so desperate for winter and Christmas after summer that I kind of by pass autum. Last year I put my Christmas decorations up on the 1st October! This year for some reason I have calmed down a bit and decided to embrace autum. I bought a few autum home decor pieces earlier in the year to put up to hopefully stop me going so early with the Christmas decs again. I plan to put the autum bits out sometime next week. I'm busy tomorrow and Sunday, but where I am anyway it's supposed to be 26 degrees. Hardly autumnal! 😅

👋 from previous christmas threads - ive name changed, but i am a mumalone

Hows the knitting going? Christmas chocolate tubs wasnt it?

I feel the same and I am literally looking up autumn lights and candles - i think I might get myself a pumpkin lamp

Plus a wreath for my flat door 😍

I know what you mean, ive already put away the summer wardrobe and was sweating in my jumper today 😅

I'm too scared to put away the fan lest I tempt another heatwave to start - but ive got the windows open and theres a nice breeze at night x

Don’t love the colder days but love between now and Christmas yay! It’s very much a build up to Halloween with a build up to Christmas in the background then as soon as Halloween is done its full on Christmas mode.

Im well on my way with my shopping, not as far as I’ve been in the past but I have a good haul and know exactly what I need to buy. Now DCs are back at school I will start wrapping next week so I can put presents away, currently they are scattered around the house.

Santas booked, I left it too late last year. I thought I was quick off the mark this year but literally got the last time slot for the day I wanted the day after tickets went on sale.

Ive already decided to scale down the indoor decorations this year. We have lots of trees, themes, that we rotate and fill the house with but Ive decided I don’t want the hassle of keeping on top of it all, especially in the kids rooms so scaling it back a bit.

It’s the first time I bought myself a beauty calendar which I ordered this week. My DDs have already been eying up what they want to claim 😂 All DDs have also chosen their calendars, thankfully they will be easy ones and shouldnt be too sought after.

Tonight I’ve actually been scrolling looking for the perfect cracker fillers. Last year was the first time I made our own and everyone loved the treats I picked just for them, so I’m going to try doing the same again this year.
