I was looking at the Christmas Tree that was in the window display, at Army & Navy, last night. I've felt a slight twinge of that hope, called December, that's just 21 days away.

Sid :O)

I am so excited! Each year at Christmas I always get my Victorian Santa's to add to the growing collection, but I have always made the suggestion that a village to build on would be cool! No one ever bothered! *sigh*

I was just telling a colleague and she is going to give me her village, as she no longer has the time/desire to decorate like she did when the children were young. YAY! Goodbye island in the centre of the kitchen, hello santa's village!!

I must say Merry Christmas to everyone on WP, even tho its early in November, I should say I hope everybody has a Merry Christmas on WP, their thats better.

Indeed, I love this time of year, all the way up until January, then when the holidays are over I want it to be summer.

I dont decorate my house, as I dont want to spend time doing it all just to take it all down, and plus im hardly home, and live alone, no point.

I will spend Christmas with my family this year, as I have always.

I had my children and partner come into m office last week (shared space with 2 others plus students and clients) and had them help me decorate. We have mini trees lit, icicle lights, christmas paper chains, wreaths etc.


I told them that I would spare them the christmas music until December 1st, as they are all feeling a little frustrated with the very idea of Christmas, but whatever! :roll:

So, too early for my Christmas hat, you think? hahaha

Love Christmas!

I don't really know whether it's too early for getting mad about christmas. There still isn't that Christmas Sparkle around just yet. I find it only starts once people and classes start decorating their classrooms and stuff.

What do you mean? Long distance relationship?



He's in the military. We used to live only about an hour apart, but they moved him to Virginia a few months ago.

I don't feel Christmassy yet.

But it's my favourite time year because

- I get more presents
- Doctor Who is back on that day
- No school

I hate it when all the Christmas stuff comes too early

I'm also an agnostic. I think my dad's friend celebrates Christmas but he's Jewish.
