I presume as you dislike Christmas you get told to fook off until you get festive?...

considering I finance it , I doubt it. Besides, I may detest Christmas but I dont let it effect others enjoyment. I just ensure they have a good time.

It will be an addition to my Peaky blinders style collection of which I have abut 10 in various colours.

Made a start on decorations. Mantle and hearth done, hallway. Tomorrow, it's erecting me tree and Victorian Lamp Post.

I tell you what, it hasn't half cheered us all up

Christmas shopping done 100% online this year, although I've got to fetch one gift from the store as I ain't paying £10 delivery cost.

Done most of our xmas shopping online for 5+ years now, can't beat sitting in front of a computer, drinking tea/coffee/wine/beer while buying stuff

 

[Pablowolf]

I was given 5 Christmas lists, so I didn't feel the need to browse. Also, I asked the Next live chat bot and their shops won't be opening tomorrow besides click and collect, so I didn't see the point in going to Merry Hell.

so I didn't see the point in going to Merry Hell.

If you do go to Merry hell will you buy me a Scalextric, I want a Scalextric , I've already circled loads of stuff in the Argos catalogue that you haven't collected yet.
But most important I need some ear protection because if I have to hear Chris Kamara sing once more I cannot be held responsible for my actions !

Same for me this year, all online, and I must say I could get used to it..... from someone who has always gone and faced the crowds and stood in queues in the past. Even my wrapping paper and gift bags have arrived by delivery

 

[Langers]

Only 1 more thing to buy and that's me sorted - been mega organised this year so I can just sit back and relax with merely the stress of our house move to contend with...

Would a Scalextric really go with the sack of reindeer poo I've already got you?

I got the wrapping paper from Sainsbury's and it's pretty shite, so I may go online next year for that as well!

Just spotted something else online but as it was jd williams I had to phone them up and open a cash only customer account before buying the item. I'm not getting a catalogue account set up. Fuck that.

Under normal circumstances, we usually have one day somewhere nice like Chester, go for a walk round looking at the displays and lights, take in some buskers and maybe the Salvation Army band, bit of lunch somewhere pleasant, maybe pick up a few bits and pieces with no pressure on.....then go home and buy everything online

Tried Bridgnorth Xmas market last year and it was dog shit.

So was Telford. Ok if you wanted a hot dog and a beer but not much else.

Got a Beauty Box Advent this year ( and a wine one) inside yesterday's was as a mini bar of soap, todays was something for chapped lips......hope it gets better as the days go on

 

[sycophantia]

Yeah Christmas markets are a bit cack over here, Birminghams ok but it gets so crowded, German one's are brilliant. As I said we usually pick a traditional town centre for our Christmas experience fix...Chester, Shrewsbury, Lichfield have all been good in the past for us.....won't be doing anything this year obviously

There was a good one in Ohio called Christmas in Shaker Woods. Only draw back was that it was held in October!
