Anyone else excited?

That's alright Monica.

magsymoo I wholeheartedly agree with you. Happy Christmas!

Monica - it was not my intention to disrupt the thread, but I am entitled to my opinion, as indeed you are yours. However, my feathers remain unruffled - Happy Christmas to you.

Happy Christmas Tooglam and all other Grans, jolly or otherwise. It's a pity when a lovely positive post degenerates into a slanging match and a race to the bottom in trying to out misery everyone else.

Magsymoo: Hang on Magsy! There are still a few Grandads around and we are always jolly; otherwise we don't get the job of Santa.!
My Christmas Message from (not to!) the colonies to all you girls, is it's Christmas, so Kiss and Make up!
Happy Christmas!

Sorry Grandads, merry Christmas to you all too! Lovely to hear you are all jolly - you deserve to be santas. Let's hope the girls lighten up. I think one of the problems with the girls is that we all take on too much at this time of year, expecting everything to be perfect, and then get exhausted and grumpy. Let's take a lead from the boys and chill out.

Magsy; Thank you; although the "experts" are promising 33C for Christmas Day so "chilling out" will require quite a large stockpile of "coldies', but I'm sure we'll manage, stretched out on the lounger under the sun-umbrella. ; totally relaxed as I'll be on my own so no guilty conscience worrying about "grumpy" girls tearing their hair out in the kitchen. Anyway, you are too modest; after years of practice (how many would you say?) it'll be a doddle! Christmas comes but once a year... just relax and keep that sherry close to hand.
Good Luck and have a Merry Christmas.

I am excited! The marzipan is now on my first ever homemade Christmas cake and it will be iced by Mr P tomorrow. Enjoying a vodka tonic right now. ?

I am enjoying every moment of it, even if the cream cheese frosting for the Yule log is liquid rather than soft and ready to apply. I followed the recipe and I have done it before .

Meanwhile, supper time.

IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!

Agree with Tooglamtogiveadamn

It was an amazing Christmas.

Thank goodness it is only an affirmation that last christmas was good.

I though this was an early post for next Christmas

Very glad for you DLWheeler. Mine is now a vague memory.

And mine but a figleaf of my imagination.

But this year, I am going to buy little things to put in family presents when I see them, and not forget where I have put them. I am not going to lose the cards I have left over. I am going to be so organised that the whole thing is going to be great fun and not stressful at all.

Oh look, was that a pig which just flew past?

And I'm not going to buy two calendars, having completely forgotten where I put the first one. Anyone want a Flower Fairies calendar? BNWT. ?

Happy Christmas to Everyone. Enjoy this Christmas with family members.

Do you mean New Year? Are you Chinese?

For heavens sake. Far too early for that.

Good grief........I certainly am not thinking of Christmas. Long time to go, for Pete's sake .....

I’m on holiday in the states and I’ve bought 2 decorations this week.....?

In case the recent posters Resurgam123 and CrazyH
haven't noticed.... best to read the date of the OP, then you don't get


It's nearly time for Mid-Winter Christmas here, a traditional celebration in Australasia and I'm looking around for a nice restaurant for a whoopee of a celebration.

I thought we did't use that word on here until November at least.
Personally, I'm still waiting for Summer
