We expect great things to be written at this desk, Hayley! You never know, maybe one day Merry Christmas everyone! It’s a weird one but I hope you’ll all spoil yourselves today in the best way you can think of. You deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeleine Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Sorry to startle everyone, but when I was up in London last week, I noticed that the nearby branch of Pret a Mange had Christmas garlands all round the door! I thought it was a one-off, but my friend who works in a different part of London said her branch had them as well. Up here again today though (thanks to the long wait for my internet connection to be upgraded) and the decs are gone. Only a matter of time though.....

I think there should be a rule about putting Christmas decorations up before it's Halloween. I did have an email from The Works a few days ago to say their Christmas Craft items were now in stock, but I understand that more because people need time to make the things!

megustaleer Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 What a timely resurrection of this thread - our first Christmas card catalogue of the year arrived this very morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Apparently the Pret thing was a special promo for their Christmas sandwich, as so many people missed out on it last Xmas due to lockdown. HAD A GIFT CATALOGUE COME THE OTHER DAY, WITH A Xmas selection in the middle - it's starting! (sorry about the caps, not used to this keyboard).

Madeleine Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Finally gave in and bought my first new decoration, well it is November. Also ordered a potential present, but I might keep it for myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I may have bought a little sparkly thing last Friday, with a tiny wee star nestling within the tiny wee branches of the sparkly 3 inch tall tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a Christmas decoration last week. It’s not perfect, but I think it was a good start. I’ll post it in the crafting thread soon. I’d like to get ideas from other people on what to try for the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I bought several plain stockings and have started decorating them with Christmassy things. I also got a few decorations and I maaaayyyyyy have pulled out the Christmas tree, but I'll deny it if you question me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boyfriend wants us to get a real tree this year, so I'm going to have to wait a while for mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Lots of Christmas trees up in people's homes in Portsmouth on Saturday evening. Still seems a bit early for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 The house down the road has a whole display on top of the covered porch, went up last week. I guess more will start creeping in soon. I plan to put my own tree up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have accumulated lots of Christmas ornaments over many years and they are now on our tree, except for the ones that have broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timebug Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Cards all sent in the post; local cards all delivered by hand;presents all wrapped and ready to go; food all planned and good to go; thats me sorted for another year. I am not a Christian, but wish Seasons Greetings to one and all, and hope you have an enjoyable time doing what you like best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunababymoonchild Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 We are not Christian either but my brother enjoys Christmas so we're making an effort for him. Not done my cards yet, not got in any food yet and have yet to find out when Scrooge is on - not Christmas until I see Scrooge. I'd like to thank everybody for the warm welcome and the interaction, it means a lot to me, and I wish everybody the very best for the season, however you are (or not) celebrating it.

My parent got rid of most of their decorations a few years back, when they decided they wouldn't have a tree again. I think my older sister got some of them, but the rest went in the bin. I still miss a real Christmas tree each year, with the water filled bubble lights we had when I was a kid, or the fibre optic ones that eventually replaced them when they broke...

Madeleine Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Almost organised, have posted all cards that needed posting (I think) and took 2 parcels to the Post Office today and miracle of miracles, no queue! Have one more to send as I had to get a bigger envelope, I try to re-use those padded envelopes but didn't have any large enough, as most of mine are paperback sized! Tree went up end of Nov/beginning of Dec, have a few more decs to come from mail order but otherwise all decorated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been playing them in the shops in my local shopping centre for a few weeks now and I saw my first Christmas related advert on the television in early November. Crazy! I also saw a couple of Christmas trees up in people houses this morning on my way into work which seems a bit early to me, but each to their own.
