I'm getting all excited and will have overdosed on Christmas by the time it arrives, kn......d and in a bad mood! But hey, thought I'd set up this thread for us to swap ideas. For the past few years on Christmas Eve after I've read 'The Night Before Christmas'my husband goes outside with bells (ELC £2) and jingles them so we can hear them from the bedroom, my dd jumps up and says 'santa is coming I can hear him' we both then look out onto the rooftops to try and see him. She loves it and it makes it so real - we only have a couple more years left before 'she knows ....' SO I'm making the most of it!
