Enjoyed reading through many pages all week! Can't believe how long it has been since I posted on here! Was quite occupied with our wee boy last year so I didn't really get into Christmas organising mode until closer to time. And it looks like it gonna happen again this year as we may be moving into our forever home in December. So I'm trying to sort through stuff here and kinda in Christmas mode because I'm trying to cut down on Christmas stuff to bring with us
I have two questions... What do yas do with your old Christmas cards? I kept all of them and put them up every year as decoration but half thinking maybe it is time to get rid of them
Also someone mentioned here before that they got a stocking made out of their baby's Christmas outfits, who did it? I went overboard buying loads of Christmas outfits for our wee man last year for this reason and also to make a handprint on our tree skirt.0 -

I bought a pair of crimping scissors some years back and make my own parcel tags by cutting up old Christmas cards. Obviously some cards lend themselves better to this than others but it's a great way of reusing the old cards - the written parts go into the cardboard recycling.0 -

September the 1st, as far as I'm concerned the real Christmas countdown starts today.
I am as a big a fan of Christmas as they come but mentioning Christmas in August (publicly not here
) just feels a little early for me, but its open season now!
Also I have to put up the poster announcing the date and location of the staff Christmas party this year later in the week.0 -

Aliexpress is alright for what you pay for but be willing to wait like 8 weeks for delivery.0 -

Good luck in school, Iguana!
Not sure if anyone listens to BBC Radio 1, but they do an ‘unpopular opinion’ feature on the breakfast show. Sometimes they get celebrities to do it. This morning, Taylor Swift’s unpopular opinion was that Just Friends is the best Christmas film. I don’t think I’ve seen it! Is it any good?
She must have Christmas on the mind right now, because her new song starts with ‘we can leave the Christmas lights up until January’ but she says it as if it’s an unusual thing.

I've seen it, it's a Ryan Reynolds film before the peak of his fame, it's funny but it's just set around Christmas time as opposed to being a Christmas movie if you know what I mean.0 -

So who's up for some Monday stats?
Ooooh I love me some stats.
We finished up August with 26 posts more than August 2018. We are now 421 posts ahead of where we were this time last year.
In 2018 Post count increased each month from May to November, with a significant jump from Aug-Sept 400 posts difference and Oct-Nov 1,050 posts difference. :eek:
Going off that trend we should see a serious increase in posts this month all going well 0 -

2018 was the busiest year ever for the Christmas Forum with 8,647 posts, 2015 was 2nd Busiest with 7,216 posts.
So 2018 was the busiest by a good bit. And was purely down to the fantastic community ye guys have fostered and created here 0 -
