To try and recreate a Christmas market in my back garden.

[Namechabged]

All I’ve got so far is an extension lead so I can plug a slow cooker and a microwave in outside, and taking £100 out of the cash machine. I’m thinking I sling four bottles of Aldi mulled wine and some sliced oranges in the slow cooker and charging myself £7 deposit for a mug and £6 for a top up, and then mircrowaving some hotdogs and doughnuts and Nutella and charging £6 for them too. I haven’t got any further than that but welcome ideas.

Turn your home into a b&b and charge £130 for the night, when it’s normally £30 for the rest of the sodding year. Oh, and makes sure it smells of fags and piss and scatter all types body hair for authenticity.

Old thread but a super cool idea. Wish I had a garden 😆

Couldn't resist resurrecting this now it's closer to the time! Perhaps it might serve as a cautionary tale...🎄🎄🎄

@TangledWebofMincemeatDeception2 Thanks, this is such a brilliant thread.

It’s funny because it’s true!

(but there’s affection there too)

THIS THIS thread should be posted afresh every year. Kudos OP @Namechabged

It's so true. And yet, there are people who never learn! 🎄🎄🎄

I make cards, mine definitely do not look like that and I don’t charge extra for envelopes!

Thanks for resurrecting. This is my all time favourite MN thread 🎄

there have to be puddles of indeterminate depth and pieces of unidentifiable wet flappy detritus blowing around getting stick to your shoes and ankles. Extra points if a bit hits a child in a buggy in the face. Extra extra points if the child thinks its the best thing EVER and screams when it is removed.

Well that was fun. I had completely forgotten this wonderful thread.

It should be a truth universally acknowledged that a Christmas Market is so much more fun from your own sofa while snuggled under a heated throw!

Just realised that in all the posts no one has remembered to put out rubbish bins. So that’s ok then. As you were.

Reawakening this thread for those of you thinking of braving a Christmas market this weekend

This is my all time favourite MN reply. Thank you for making me howl with laughter 🤣
