    I wouldn't say steal. We can share ideas and traditions. Sharing is caring :-D

    Very true. I joined boards in December 2010 a very home sick puppy. The Christmas thread and especially peoples Christmas eve traditions always getting me giddy for home and Christmas.

    I remember your flying home for Christmas thread from last year! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,789 ✭✭✭Jude13


    Ha I was a mess.

    Still hate flying!!! I 'G' myself up for it with Christmas threads. It got to the point that walking down the air bridge to the plane I was reading out Christmas eve traditions I had copied and pasted on to the ipad. It was a way of convincing myself that if I didn't get on the plane I would miss so much. Im a big girl.

    Wait 'til you get a load of the Show Us Yer Christmas Trees thread! If that doesn't get on the plane to show off your own, I don't know what will ;)

    We usually go to the UAE (Dubai) for the rugby 7's at the start of December, there's a great Christmas shop in Dubai Mall. I will take some snaps this year without myself and the OH in them. They put BT's to shame. Pretty tacky but its still fun.

    If I have calculated correctly, I am due to have my thread starting on the 12th December - is this right? If so, I won't be able to do it anymore because I'm going on holiday from 11th-22nd December and won't have internet access for most of it, so my place should go to someone from the reserve list

    Hi fussyonion apologies for missing your post, I was very busy on the 12th of December (I was on bended knee proposing to my now Fiancée) I must have read your post but not replied.

    This thread was created for a way to get to know our regular posters here a bit more and for new people to get a feel for all of our Elves here! :)

    We are currently not doing any at the moment but fret not when I am looking up for Know Your Elves 2015 your name will be first on the list!

    I will also be announcing a spin off thread from the Know Your Elves thread that should be a bit of fun to help us through the Off-Season Months :)
