Woohoo, Its Christmas Day

[mandymouse]

Question for those going to WDW over Christmas. What are you going to do at home for decorations? I mean are you going to put any up at all? Are you going to put a few up? Are you going to take them down before you go?

I always put my Christmas tree up on the last weekend in November, so it'll be up for 3 weeks before we go. I won't be taking it down till we get back as it'll be New Year. I've also arranged with mushumadness (Anna) to share a Christmas tree as she's at the Pop Century for the 2 weeks before us, and she'll leave it for when we arrive (Woohoo !!)

We'll be having a home Christmas Day on Dec 16th before we go up to airport so the girls can open their presents from friends and family, and then we'll have a mini-Christmas Day in WDW (OMG, this is just too exciting !!)

The inlaws now ask what time the troops got up at and how much earlier I got up at

You know my kids have never ever woke me up on Christmas morning. I always wake up early with excitement then wake them up! I usually get them up at 6 am, makes a longer day to enjoy.

I love looking at the the title of this thread countdown. Thank you.

We left our lights round the outside of the house up this year (you can't tell when they are switched off) so hopefully we can switch them on early this year as I wont have to nag DH to get up the ladder as usual and worry that he will fall.

I am so excited. I did buy one present in June then stopped. We are taking two families with us to center parcs for New Year as a christmas present and I paid the balance off yesterday so that is another two presents taken care of.

I'm buying bits and pieces now all the time. Today I got youngest DD's Advent Calendar - I don't get the children chocolate ones as the first thing they do when they get up in December is open them and I don't want them having chocolate the minute they get up.

I've ordered lots of DVD's and books from Play and some of them have been delivered this week. I haven't got any cards yet as I like to have a really good look around and see what all the shops have got before I choose, so I don't get my cards until November but I send them out early December.

I bought my step mum a dvd today, Tesco and HMV have both got good sales on dvds and cds at the moment.

A lot of dis-ers haven't been on-line today, I hope they've all been out Christmas shopping !!

 

[wicket2005]

I have got a few more family presents done. Hubbie done. I have got my SiL, DB, DM and DD to do. I have not started on the kids because they are unsure whether they want the XBox 360 or not yet. Time is a creeping on though.

OMG 11 weeks and I haven't even started yet we actually fly on Christmas Day so are having our dinner etc on Christmas Eve. I can't make up my mind whether to sort the holiday or Christmas first! Still can't complain can I it's a nice dilemma to be in. Really must get myself in gear you are all putting me to shame

I like your thinking Mandy

Has anyone seen any bargains anywhere ?? Like 3 for 2 offers or b.o.g.o.f offers ??

Our local Asda was selling by one bottle of Champagne get 20% off another bottle. I had to buy 5 to get a free bottle Never mind, since I will probably end up drinking all of them I'm not bothered

I like your thinking! I love champagne and champagne cocktails (I try and make a different one every year!) so will have to keep an eye out for bulk buying bargains! We're big Christmas fans and I love decking the halls. We bought some Disney decorations in WDW in May so can't wait to get them out. Have done most of the shopping for our extended family and as our trip to Disneyland for New Year is the main gift for DSs and DD - I'm virtually sorted.

Boots have got a 3 for 2 offer on ALL their toys and it is a permanent offer. Very handy for me as it includes Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus and Bratz. Toys R Us have got a similar offer on selected items which finishes tomorrow. Our Woolworths haven't got any Christmas stuff in yet but they will have to have similar offers otherwise they won't be able to compete this year.

 

[mandymouse]

Woohoo, 10 weeks to go !!

What are you planning on buying this weekend ??

 

[wicket2005]

Very nearly finished on extended family, I will probably buy something from wiggle for my brother who is into riding bikes or an organic teeshirt by Howie. Then I only have £2 left to spend on Mam and sister in law each.

Still have kids to do, one definitely wants an XBox 360 but it depends whether he can get one for Christmas or not. I preordered back in May so hopefully he will get one. The other son is still undecided about the XBox which isn't released till 2nd December. So I could have a mad scramble in December for presents for them, luckily most of the things they are into are available online.
