Yaaaaaaaayyyyy 27 sleeps to go! Also my SIL's gift arrived today; Downton abbey seasons 1&2!

Also I ate a mince pie tonight

Sweet I did try to find your Christmas thread, but I am rubbish. 

 

Also, as much as I love Christmas I hate mince pies 

Oh shhhhhh

 

 

No problem cinds! The more festive areas the better I'll take anyone's share of mince pies if they don't like them then

You're a mean one, mr grinch!

It's not that

 

It's just I am sulking at the organisation of you all

Lol I'm not saying your the grinch, I was singing the song I don't know the next line though

I didn't know there was a song

Oh yeah did I say all cards are written and ready to be posted too 

whhhhaaaattt?!!!! Have you seen the cartoon version of the grinch?! Kevin watches it in home alone!

Glee also covered it on last years Christmas album!

A grinch song? I didn't know either.

 

I have a problem, I have an extra set of lights.  Where do I string them?

Found the lyrics; "The Grinch Theme Song "Mr. Grinch" You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch You really are a heel, You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch, You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel! You're a monster, Mr. Grinch, Your heart's an empty hole, Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch, I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You have termites in your smile, You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch, Given a choice between the two of you'd take the seasick crocodile! You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch, You're the king of sinful sots, Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch, You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce! You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch, With a nauseous super "naus"!, You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch, Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots! You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You're a nasty wasty skunk, Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch, The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote, "Stink, stank, stunk"! "

On my tombola prize cinds

Ohh please don't tempt me

I am going to use what is left of last years.

Tree up, kids most expensive pressies bought, dinner menu is in my head.....just needs a final going over.  Still lots to get but at least I've made a good start!

hahahaha I wrote this years out, then we got the stuff out of the attic and found all the ones I didn't write out last year 

Right - I have ordered the meat.

That is all i have done.

I will be doing a last minute rush for it all

OHHH MYYYY GOD im so unorganised this year, its just sooo busy. I need another fortnight before i even think about it, yet im told we are putting our tree up this weekend (exept we need a tree as the rabbits ate the last one ....no joke)

 

BUT.... I did 'order' our xmas cards last night.... *hmmm, order.. i wonder what you would have had to order*

*cough*

 

I have blanched and frozen the parsnips and roast potatoes, made and frozen the bread sauce and gravy and made the Christmas cake.

 

And, I think I've done something else too, but I can't remember

Oh go stuff a turkey

Stress kills Christmas, make it as joyful and spontaneous as you can........ 

Ah - that's the key.

I went xmas shopping the other day and spontaneously bought myself a lovely Marc B handbag.

 

It was a joyful gesture and I don't feel at all stressed

 

I'm great at this Xmas stuff

Can't  For the first time in my (very long) life I am cooking Christmas lunch here. It's a sort of bring and share affair between me, my sis, mum and MIL - my mum is bringing the turkey ... but I will pass your suggestion on to her

hahahaha I know, but I don't think my rear end would look good in lights 

Who blanched what? And baked what?

 

Hey I wrote cards, I bought and wrapped gifts. 

 

 

BUT I DO NOT BAKE CAKES.  Stop making me Christmas inadequate 

See, ahhhhhh, Christmas is luverly............

Bah, bleedin' umbug

YAYYYY it's Christmas 

Come on own up, what have you bought for a loved one, that you are thinking of keeping for yourself?

OMG!!!!!!!!!! ..............I'm (almost) starting to panic ............we have only just started re decorating our front room..............God only knows when it'll be done ..........God only knows when we'll be on civil terms again 

Chill.........Christmas will be great, if you are chilled....

Just me then..........

Absolutely nothing. 

Sweet, you can have mine too,
