When should Christmas start?

[Happydays]

Back on topic, I'm getting in the seasonal mood with a little poetry!

I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pyjamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first it wet the bed.

I fear there's been a bit of a cull. The ModPlods must have taken exception to our off-topic excursions

[Mervyn and Trish]

Careful Cubie, you're drifting again. Anyway, novelty over, I've seen the various Christmas ads and am thoroughly bored with them now. Goodness knows what they cost to produce but they won't influence our Christmas spending or where we do it in any way, so it's wasted on us. Mince pie anyone?

Well we have just spent an hour seeing which way the new tables will fit for Christmas lunch..they are easily put up and down and we will fit all 15 or 16 us around then quite well.
Im happy now.

You're obviously posher than us with trees plural.

Our solitary specimen will go up a couple of weeks before Christmas and no doubt our new puppy, Coco, will have the baubles off the day after.
