**Woohoo !! It's Christmas Day**

[Pinky166]

i started making some xmas cards weeks ago and have already got my sister & my brother inlaws presents wrapped and in a box ready to post before we go away end of Nov.
Will be making more cards here and there over the coming weeks and months so there's no rushing about later.

There's a method in my madness

I've started making my cards too Jill.

this year has gone so quick! only 5 more pay days (if u get paid monthly)
my brothers,sisters and i have decided to surprise my mum and dad with a trip to Australia...they can celebrate christmas there.
my brother moved to Australia last october.
hope they like the surprise

OMG scary when you think about it in terms of paydays!
What a lovely gift to your parents.

Bring it on, I love Christmas I Have got my new tree skirt and lots more new decs from the christmas store at DTD. I can't wait to get them up

I don't know what DD or DH will be after this year?

I too always buy tons of Disney ornaments in the DTD shop. I just bought 5 new one's in DLRP too....last year I had a traditional 7ft real tree in my hallway and an artificial 6ft tree in my lounge which just had my Disney ornaments on....this year I'm thinking of having a 3rd tree as my Disney one looked full!....

Yes, I have prezzies already and yes, I have ideas/plans for most people in my life!! Got some reeeally creative ones this year... AND I'm planning a US shopping trip later in the year.

Actually, I'm REALLY looking forward to July 25th as QVC have their Christmas in July event that day and this year I'll actually be in the UK so can sit back with a Christmas Cocktail and enjoy - I need a new faux tree so fingers crossed.

Merry Christmas...

Thanks for the QVC reminder Karen - I love getting in the christmas spirit with their July shows!

.....I confess I have brought quite a few presents already too. I can't help it!

I am really impressed with those of you that have started making Christmas Cards and buying pressies

I got all my Christmas Cards in the January sales, and then I bought these when I was in WDW at the New Year

I can't wait to put these on my tree

Oh Gawsh!! I love Christmas so much!!! My family have put a ban on it for me for this side of September though.... I love it soooo much! I tend to run around the house for a few months going: "It's nearly Kissssss-massssss!" in a really manic voice....

I've got a serious urge to go and buy some Christmas presents.... And cards....

OH MY GOSH!!! I might see about getting my Hamster a little Christmas tree!! And a mini Santa hat...... Oh, he'd look so cute!!!

Yayyyyy!! I lurve Christmas!! I'm off to start Wassailing now..... In June.... Hmmmm.....

WOOO HOO!!! I love Christmas too! It won't be nearly as exciting this year as it was last year though - we flew to WDW on Christmas day so anything is going to be a come down! DH and I are planning on getting away hopefully as our pressie to ourselves we are expecting this year to be extremeley busy in the shop in the run up to Christmas so we will be in need of a holiday!

I said to DH that I would like my own mini laptop and maybe a DS - we were only talking about it last night. We are planning on getting the kids a wooden play centre and wendy house thing for the garden, they will love that. DH is notoriously hard to buy for - what man isn't so I shall probably just fill a stocking with lots of little things for him. He likes gadgets so we shall see what is out there at the time.

It seems that Shelby has inherited our love of Christmas too as there is a car dealership by where we live who had a life sized santa in their window and whenever we drive by it she asks "where's Santa gone?" we have to go through the rigmaroll of explaining that he is in the north pole making the toys etc!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!​

Thanks, but I've no idea Karen, I got them for my window at the All Stars last Christmas, but I'm sure I'll be able to get some kind of adapter for them (I hope so anyway)

I am pretty sure 5 months to wrap him round your finger will work .We have a tiny house,so we only have the tree in the living room-which is a humungous tree,as where we used to live,we had a huge living/dining room+bought it for there-but we could'nt bear to throw it out when we moved here.You have to fix it branch for branch+it takes ages,but because it's so big we have to leave the branches off of the back and push it up flush against the wall+window-we don't see daylight form the end of Nov to the beginning of Jan .
The girls also have a tree in there room+we decorate the bunk beds with lights.x.

Good luck!!! I have 3 trees too - 1 real 8ft+ in the conservatory, 1 faux 7ft in the hall and a small potted living tree in the living room. Next year I hope to have a dining room extension so maybe it'll be 4 trees then - goodness knows I have enough baubles...

The conservatory one...

The Disney tree in the hall...
