I thought with just nine days to go, it wouldn't be such a dirty word! ;D
Thought in here we could have a chat about plans etc. Where are you going, who are you sharing Christmas with, what have you bought people or asked for, what will you be eating. Maybe some pictures of your Christmas trees/decorations?
Tonight my husband and I are going to the Thursford Christmas Spectacular http://www.thursford.com/christmas-spectacular.aspx (http://www.thursford.com/christmas-spectacular.aspx) This will be our third visit (not this year!) It's such a magical show even if it will be a long old drive to get there and back! :-\ I've also arranged for it to snow whilst we're there so hopefully we'll get stuck and have to miss work tomorrow :P
How nice :P you are going to Thursford its such a lovely show so well done
I love looking at all the cauliflowers ::) :P ;D
have a lovely time & enjoy it all. xxx
OH wow that spectacular looks fantastic. Now let me see the kids are 3 so the first time we could take them is 2015, think i'll be booking for that. I never realised Thursford did that and the Santa journey looks fantastic too. Can I fit a trip to Norfolk before Xmas ?
We are having the in laws over for Xmas day, got turkey, fresh Christmas new spuds, a few brussels (my plants didnt do well) parsnips and roast tatoes from the lottie.
Its the first year that our boys really understand Xmas so its been fun seeing them see Santa, although ive been told already that none of them are the real Santa as they havent brought them what they wanted!!!!
One of our boys has got a dragon castle, and the other boy wants Emily train and Tobys windmill to go with his Thomas tank engine wooden railway.
For DH some beer (always a fav) a new PC game he wants, and lots of other silly little bits.
A VERY HAPPY PEACEFULL CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL
LOVE ROSEBUD & FAMILY XX
Bah Humbug... ;D
Just kidding.... :)
Best wishes to all of you and thanks for being here all year ;D
Best wishes to you all too ;D
I'm going to have best Christmas ever....no decorations...no visitors..telephone unblugged..just me OH and dog..nice food..'extra special' bottle of red..logfire..wooly sock..cosy settee and favourite programs in telly and disturbance..aahhh..and full tummy and nap..... ;D ;D 2 days just us..proper 'duvet days ;D ;D ;D
And best of all...no clearing away any decorations after its all done ;D
Do you know one of my delights is rediscovering the Christmas deccies.
Mind you have not got all of them out this year as I feel enough is enough,love my tree though.
This thread made me think back to when I was a girl,none of your tasteful Homes and Gardens deccies then.Mum and Dad would put up yards of paper chains and lots of Balloons.When we were a bit older we used to snigger about the shapes they made LOL.
Happy Days.
Betula - ive got 3 year old twin boys and we had such fun making paper chains, so much better than the foil decs you just pull out of the packet. Everyone who comes in the house gets taken to the paper chains and told we made those.
I too used to make fun out of the baloon shapes. I swear mum used to buy curly willy shaped ones and ones that no matter how much you blew always looked liked boobs with nipples, just so we could make fun of them. she always used to hang one long one with two small ones too.
Merry Christmas!
I will be at the inlaws eating something French. No pudding. And not enough vegetables in my taste, :'( :'(
Merry Christmas to you all.
My day will be champagne breakfast at my daughters followed by my 6yr.old grandson opening his pressies then lunch, (no booze!), back home for a quick kip, then off to my friends for a good old knees up - taking my campervan so's I have somewhere to sleep.
Our Christmas started last weekend with one lot of relatives visiting and my daughter's dance show.http://tadpole.shutterchance.com/photoblog/Zoe%27s_dance_show_/ (http://tadpole.shutterchance.com/photoblog/Zoe%27s_dance_show_/)
Tomorrow night I'm singing in a Christmas concert in York. On Sunday we got to mother-in-law with all OH's relatives. Then more of my relatives are coming for Christmas, then we've got the time between Boxing Day and New year to recover!
This is all weather permitting, of course!
Happy Chistmas, everyone!
I hope you all have a wonderful, peaceful Christmas and a very veggie new year ;D
I'm so excited, I will have all my children in one place at the same time, last time was 8 years ago..so,there willbe 12 of us sitting down together for Christmas lunch and then we will all go to my daughter's for 'Buzz' and 'Sing star', both of which my eldest was instumental in developing .
plus, all my grandchildren there at once ;D
Weather permitting, I hope

We will be having lunch at my Daughter's house.....however I have come down with a nasty virus so if it is not cleared will be staying at home.Do not want any person to catch this...went to bed and my teeth were chattering..have not experienced that since I was a child.
My fave part of Christmas is Christmas Eve,all the family meet up at my Mums house.I love that.we all exchange our pressies and Mum reads The Night Before Christmas to the younger ones.
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas everyone and God bless x
WORK,WORK,WORK,WORK, and more work.
Seems that all people want is to get places and not think of the poor blighters who have to work over the period.
I say bless all those who have to or volunteer duties over the holiday period.
They all have a hard enough job to do without the drunks and party goers trying to take over.
It has become to commercial for me now, the spirit of the events have been lost to spend spend and buy from me buy from them. Sale on from whoever.
Enough griping from me happy xmas to one and all whatever you get up too. ;D ;D ;D
Wishing Everyone at A4All a very Happy Christmas and New year and a prosperous growing season next year, no work until the 10th January Yippeeee, :)
For the first time in yonks I've got more than just Christmas day(4days) off so don't feel so bah humbug this year,we've got 9 coming for turkey this year,so will need me 3 days rest(well the boss will she does all the hard work really) after the frog family have all gone home.
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Last evening we went to a Christmas Musical and hubby and two other men were chosen out of the audience- he had to imitate big bells ringing whenever the word "bells" was mentioned in a song. The other men looked sheepish, but OH grinned through it all making big ridiculous sounds and arm movements- the audience loved him! So glad though they didn't make him sing!
We're having a quiet Christmas and celebrating a few days later when most of the kids and families arrive.
Christmas dinner party here tonight though (I shouldn't be sitting here on computer! ::)- come on over, we'll make room for you!
Merry Christmas to all A4A- Betula I hope you get over the chills pronto and ACE quits falling!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE FROM A4A

I am a tad disappointed now as I was expecting a witticism or two from you cornykev lols
Happy Christmas ;D
Happy Christmas to everyone. Turkey is cooking, can't wait, hope the cats like it. ;D ;D Got 14 tons of stable manure delivered to the allotment, so allotment sec. said by email, but will have to wait until after Xmas, or if I go up there today, no dinner, and don't think will be very popular. Hope the allotment cats get a turkey dinner from Squash, I expect so. Yes CornKev we were all waiting for your Xmas joke, maybe after the crackers are opened.
It is Christmas day and out of respect for baby Jesus I thought I would have a joke free, sensible day, anyway on the Christmas theme I did get to empty my sack last night. :o :P ;D ;D ;D

Well that's it then....better start saving for Easter. ;D
Easter eggs in holding area at rear of store :o ;D :o ;D
Can we start talking about spring now ;D Christmas is sooo yesterday's news ::)
Although my plans for putting feet up and do as little as possible and spending the christmas without any family or relations did work...
I am quite happy to wait another 12 mths for the next one. If I only wouldn't catch cold this weekend would have been perfect.
Half of the marked programs from tv magazine..so far..I've not seen ::) I've knocked myself out with all medicines and slept a lot ;D And the waking hours have gone for looking after chickens..wild birds..next doors cat..our dog...OH..life has to go on..even when you feel like duvet is your best friend ;D
I hope you all had good time too ;D
A belated Happy Christmas to everyone and lets have a fruitful New Year ! ;D
