At the last count, Gill and Spuddy are planning no less than SEVEN inside trees between them (not counting any outdoor ones)Raybosailor wrote:Hold on this could turn into a TV series starring Sue Spud and Gill46 to rival Christmas Lights, Robson Green and Mark Benson eat your heart out.

Mmmm. Not sure if I'd fancy a Christmas cruise or not.
I quite like playing the part of scrooge Christmas day at home, in front of the telly with a log farroaring away supping a glass of wine, whisky, gin and tonic, bubbly or all four

Mother Christmas
Where art thou, Mother Christmas?
I really wish I knew
Why Father should get all the praise
And no one mentions you.
I’ll bet you buy all the presents
And wrap them large and small
While all the time the dirty swine
Pretends he’s done it all.
So hail to Mother Christmas
The uncomplaining slave
And down with Father Christmas
That good - for - nothing knave.
and halfway through November too.
You could have posted later,
at least a week or two.
Now I'll be getting earache,
right up to Christmas day.
I hope your feeling satisfied,
now you've ruined life for Ray.
I do my bit in other ways,
like carrying all the booze.
And saving all my pennies,
to take her on a cruise.

As usual, Christmas starts when we set off for Southampton in a raging snowstorm, worrying about whether we will make it (well, it did happen once) !! Mind you, I have done my Christmas shopping - 10 minutes spent with Mr Amazon and his minions are delivering my wares as I write !emjay45 wrote:Mine is starting on the 1st of December, the decorations are going up and I'm just going to enjoy feeling Christmassy until January 6th.
One day, we will be on a Christmas cruise too; but with a baby in the family now, it may be a while before that day.Dancing Queen wrote:Me too, I noticed in one of the TV listings yesterday that on one of the channels there were 3 consecutive Christmas films, I would have loved to have sat and watched them but I was busy sorting all my clothes for our forthcoming cruises.

I'm glad were not alone. We didn't get to indulge too much last year as we were going away in January. The one we watched last night I recorded last year and save for this Christmas.Dancing Queen wrote:Me too, I noticed in one of the TV listings yesterday that on one of the channels there were 3 consecutive Christmas films, I would have loved to have sat and watched them but I was busy sorting all my clothes for our forthcoming cruises.

It's not in Saturdays, according to Mobietta, so it must be in todays ... but we haven't got that one
The RT covers the two week period of course and is, to us, useful for recording anything that may be of interest ... including the footy of course
it was in the Saturday listings on C5 when I've just checked, she can be forgiven though as I don't normally look at C5 either.
