Some people feel happier to be organised - their choice.

DH decided we should be organised this year - I'm confused already. grin

Why does reading these threads make me depressed?
I think it is because it is still November...

Presents all done and wrapped.
Booths Christmas order done to be collected nearer the day.
Bottles of Whiskey for our gardener and handyman to be sorted by my husband…….when he gets around to it!
We are going to our daughters so no decorations here but we will go and put a tree up in our holiday let for the Christmas and New Year guests.
Feeling quite smug but smug often comes and bites you on the bum!

I have made seven mini Christmas puddings all ready for distribution.

Turkey being delivered this week, gammon bought yesterday, now in the freezer.
We’ll have a drive out in a couple of weeks to choose and bring home a real tree and then MrJ will decorate the house, I’ll go out for foraged greenery.
Grandchildren are here overnight on the 20th, we should be all systems go 🎄

I have put Christmas bedding on this morning (two guest rooms along with GC’s beds) have put Christmas teddies out in the playroom. (It’s only DH and I in the house, but GC are here most days as we live next door but one to their school)

Will decorate the house at the weekend, put the little artificial trees up and DH will put up outside lights and reindeers.

We have a real tree in the sitting room, that will be done in a couple of weeks.

Christmas baking nearly finished, as is the gift shopping.

I absolutely love Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

It sounds good. I'm way behind this year. The plan today is to write some cards and order some gifts.

Just that.
Is there ever a dedicated thread on GN where posters can get fired up next month if they want to share ideas. I mean just shortish posts about decorations, the weather, food and drink, travel arrangements, presents, fayres, lights, church going etc.? All under the one thread, without detailed discussion, a bit like Good Morning on here, or would it get chaotic?
Just wondering.
