timebug Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I hope you all have the kind of day that you had planned and that it all goes as you had hoped! My Grandaughter was really thrilled with her 'new' Laptop and her other things that she got, had a text from her this morning. She is calling on me later, not for lunch but just a visit. My son and his partner unexpectedly visited yesterday too, and two of my oldest pals came round on friday,so for an anti-social hermit like me, quite a time of it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had an email from them, saying something along the lines of ‘it’s never too early to start Christmas crafts’. I love Christmas but I would argue that, actually, it is 😅. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Given that we seem to have gone straight to autumn though, it's feeling wintery already! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 My Christmas planning will be extremely simple. I've already let everyone know that I'm not hosting. I'll have a small dinner of steaks, potatoes, etc, and a couple of cakes for family members. The grands will get one big gift. I'll put the tree up but have no plans to put gifts under the tree. I really want peace and quiet this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggle not Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Am I the only person that finds it impossible to have one favorite Christmas song? There are way too many that I love, especially the Classic Christmas Music. Perry Como, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, Andy Williams, etc. I hope that everyone on the forum also enjoys Christmas Music this year.

There are way too many that I love, especially the Classic Christmas Music I like all the classics too. I think if I had to pick one favourite at the moment, it would be God Bless Us Everyone by Andrea Bocelli, which is from the soundtrack for A Christmas Carol (the one with Jim Carey as Scrooge). Not only does he have an amazing voice, the soundtrack music was by the incredible Alan Silvestri AND it’s a Dickens reference. That’s also probably my favourite Christmas movie 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
