Have already started on my foodie+drinky bits+bobs,we are very good as in nothing gets eaten or drank before hand.

We hide the girls presents in the loft .They then get wrapped once the tree is up so they can go straight under.Father Christmas's presents always stay in the loft till Christmas eve.x.

You're doing well with your shopping Michelle.

My DH won't let me put our presents under the tree until Christmas eve as I am the worlds biggest kid and can not resist touching them and laying on the floor staring at them! I usually put the ones I buy for our families under instead.

Same here. The only pressies under the tree before christmas eve are the ones we give to others outside our home. Then the argument begins between myself and DH as to whether the girls presents go under the tree or at the end of the bed for them. I'm an under the tree person, he prefers the end of the bed......the usual compromise is one at the end of the bed, then after that's been opened wash and get dressed to see if "he" has been downstairs too
Oh it's such a special time, I can't wait.......

You've got me all goosepimply now Claire......

I think im going to have to look at the disney store my boyfriend would love that tree ornament. I am hoping to get the wooden Christmas Eeyore I saw it on Mainstreet and fell in love but my boyfriend wouldn't let me get it because he didn't think we would have enough room in the suitcase.

[jackieleanne]

My mum and dad wont allow any put out for us except from friends and other family members but any from my mum & dad(Santa) still only get put out once we go to bed and we are 24,21 and 17 now. I'm all excited for Christmas now.

Ohh bless. I am such a kid I love christmas and can imagine how much more magical it is when you have children.

I am with you - definately under the tree.

LOL, what are you like Claire ?

I know - I must have been having a blonde moment!

The only presents under the tree have always been the ones to and from other people.

Kyras usually go under the tree when she's fast asleep. I'm really excited about this year as she will be more into Christmas. Last year she wasn't too bothered and hated Santa lol.

 

[Disneycrazycrewuk]

Im a little slow off the mark this year, I have not even thought of what to buy ppl let alone been out and bought anything.
We have had a lot going on this year and my mind is not set in the right gear lol.

As i said previously pressies from us to other people+from us to the girls go under the tree straight away-the girls are very good+never bother to touch,look etc....
As for Father Christmas,the girls have a huge sack each in the living room,which gets left out with the carrot,whisky+mince pie before they go to bed.Father Christmas does'nt visit the bedroom only the living room.(by visiting the bedroom-this was how i came to find out that Father Christmas was Nan+Grandad+i cried all night-i was traumatised for the whole of christmas Day ).
So Joanne i am with you pressies by the tree,under the tree,in a sack, whatever it may be, but deffinatley in the Living Room .x.

She will love it! For DD's First Christmas my Mum got us a calendar with DD's photo on every month and I loved it. She tried to put a photo of her with every person who had a birthday that month, so I was on the December page and DH was february etc.
I'm looking at doing them for the grandparents this year, but a diary also sounds nice, where did you get it done Emma?
