Way to go Sweet I got my cards and wrapping today , and have got quite a few presents ....but I'm well jell about your festive bedding  

I have all my Christmas cards but as for pressies  

I've still got quite a few left to get , but at least I've started .....and keeping my eyes open for the Xmas shop delivery slots  

I am bound to find someone I have forgotten when I get around to writing them out 

Ditto And I still have to get my * specials*  

I have had the hotel and dinner booked since spring. Presents are sorted, cards and calendars bought. Let's get it over and done with and we'll look forward to a few footie away trips in January (our favourite month)

My copy of Good Hosekeepings Christmas Edition arrived last week.  I was very excited. 

That and the Coke ad are the start of Christmas 

I've got all my cards, wrapping labels etc. 

Got all the family christmas presents ... we have a five pounds limit per person, so I look out for sale stuff all year. 

Got some really posh crackers (in the sales in January)

Now all I need to do is lose half a stone ...

I buy plenty of lucky dips and scratch cards for Xmas card presents

Sweet, Fenwicks window gets unveiled tomorrow at 5pm. 

LOL Saint, that is Christmas Dinner all wrapped up......

Did you take any pictures Cinds?

I will print that and pin it up in my kitchen Saint

Like I need the instructions

I haven't been yet! 

From what I can gather sweet it's Santa & Elves. 

Yes, I saw the snow dogs thread, I'll be on the look out for them.

Anyway, you know how my sisters & I do a 'make something for the parents' Christmas comp each year. This year it is make a hand and/or footprint salt dough Christmas decoration.

Mine is in the oven drying as I type. 

I am the youngest of the sisters & Mam still calls me her baby. So I've made a huge plaque with my footprint & handprint on it, with the words 'Baby's 45th Christmas'. I'm thinking I might add a photo of me in a onesie with a towel nappy & a dummy while sleeping like a baby.

Well, my Christmas cooking is coming along well. Roast potatoes, parsnips, potato dauphonoise, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, grave and swede all done and in the freezer. Mince pies and Nigella's ham in coke to do this week ... well, providing the new fridge freezer arrives tomorrow. The old one is slowly dying, it's 14 years old, keeps breaking down, and I can't risk it going over Christmas, so we've ordered one today, at 3.30 pm, and it is being delivered tomorrow

Flippin eck how organised are you Rexi!!  

I know Rog ... I frighten myself sometimes! 

Loving all the Christmas Fayres (sp?) around at the moment.

We have three booked already

Wonderful stuff

The annual German Market is in Birmingham. It's always so colourful and has been a pleasure to go around it in the past 

I will do photos Rexi....my dinner will be nothing like that..average sunday roast in this house
