Look what I found

On Monday during matthew wright's programme a panellist stated that they have a star at the top of their tree and that they didn't think people put angels on the top any more, a few others agreed. I have always had an angel on top, but what does everyone else have on top of their tree?

 

ps like that ^^^^^^

I have a slutty angel.  She's dressed in red.

I have a star.  I think.

 

Supposed to be putting the tree up this evening so I'll find out whether I still have a star or not later

I bought an ivy garland with little lights today - not worth packing it away so I've wound it round my new bannister and hung little wooden Robins and red and white spotted stars in it - it is very, very premature for me 

 

Mr Woo is hanging my gorgeous mirror as we speak - I'm thinking of taking my chair out into the hall - it's just so lovely out there.

That all sounds lovely Sooz!  

 

I've put my tree up.  It's a bit skinny so it will be it's final year in our house.

I should be putting mine up this afternoon and decorating it with the kids tonight..... provided i get my pre tree cleaning done that is, although i did most of it over the weekend

Just on my way to pick my son up when Steve Wright decided to play Fairytale of New York. Which song makes you want to drive the car into a tree?

It'll all be over soon Joe..stay strong

Pre-tree cleaning done. Wrapping done. Tree arriving Saturday 

Just a tad curious .What colour and type of Christmas cracker are you using this Christmas?

I have the Who am I  crackers

i'm always a tad disappointed in crackers, the combination of good colour (red or gold), quality card/paper, usefulness of gift and "crack" seems almost an impossibility....

I got me cleaning and tree up this afternoon, needed extra lights so sent MrJen to Tesco, the ones he got were slightly yellow as apposed to white though so i need change them. I still let the kids decorate it though, they've made a right mess of it lol (good thing i'm redoing it when i've changed the lights

 

AND i got loads of wrapping done tonight

The who am I ones are a bit of fun.

I usually get some silver small ones to go on the tree (they mysteriously disappear over December) and some not too cheap but not really expensive either silver and white ones for the dining table, imo its all a load of tat in them anyway so as long as they look nice I'm happy

Do you ever wear the hats?

I can never find one big enough! (Currently I'm having difficulty trying to order a new winter hat from The Fatherland) Mrs Jer after 37 years of marriage finally told me the truth a couple ofweeks ago. Apparently my napper is noticeably large.

We are made to

Stickified as requested by Santa

we insist on the hat wearing too,   (despite oh trying to "accidently" tearing his)

 

 

my table including crackers this year is green and gold 

 

I literally bagged a bargain in the summer at the Lidl non food sale - bought a mystery bin bag for a pound and when I opened it it was full of christmas goodies 

 

not sure what the crackers will be like but once lunch is over most of the cracker stuff goes on the  log fire in the table clear up 

Thanks for the stickiness Sooz! Your garland sounds really pretty, any chance of a pic? In fact, lets all upload some pics!

I was just going to say it's been stickied 

Here's my newest tree decoration, i bought it because my theme for next year will be candy canes

The little tartan doggy above it is new this year too

I can't do pics (sorry) - I'm loving other peoples pics though.

 

Bought a few more gifts today.

 

My mum just rang - she's got her bank statement through and said 'What have I been buying from Amazon?'

 

I have bought stuff for her in the past on my account using her card - I had to change my card details recently and consequently when I ordered loads of Christmas stuff (hundreds of pounds) it's been defaulting to my mums card

 

I feel awful - so embarrassing - she obviously believes it was an accident but you do hear dreadful stuff about how some people treat their parents 

 

She also believes I'll pay her back

 

 

 

Chris Rea driving home for Christmas 

Walking in the air      It's only good when it's on the Irn Bru advert

anyhooo.. this is the weekend I'm starting Christmas.  Plan is to put the tree up tomorrow - I've just bought a couple of new baubles from B & Q and a poinsettia.   Got my first card in the mail today and I have a deadline to meet to get my 'welsh' bro's pressies wrapped this weekend so they can go in the family parcel being sent next week.    I expect I'll be back in here ho ho ho-ing tomorrow night.

OK, ok, I give in.  Now it's Christmas time. It's December! 

 

I guess I need a new avvy but I can't come up with one for myself. And if I ask you all, whichever one I pick will seem like favouritism (sp).  

I was also trying to think of an appropriate name 

Christmas turkey ?

 

I'm not a turkey, am I? 

Crackers?

That's me 

 

I'll go looking for an appropriate avi tomorrow 

Yep , Crackers is defo you

It's what I do.........night all
