There'd better be a Christmas version of Mmmm Bop!

My nephew asked his dad to put Willy Wonka on yesterday. Smart kid.

Started singing Wham Last Christmas, last night. I didn’t listen to any Christmas music it seems the Christmas music choosed me :pac:

Now that's a song that became special for me. I was living in the middle of nowhere, and had meet a girl a few times, most of the time with others present and got on well.
With dutch courage I asked her if she wanted to come on a hike that weekend. She agreed which was great and brave, new country, new guy etc. So the day we meet up I had prepped and planned, got a haircut, even cleaned the jeep even though it would get manky. Told her we would drive for 3 hours hike up through a dry river bed, climb through a cave to waterfall whilst it touching 40 degrees. She must of thought I was mad.

Anyway I've everything perfect, clean car, loads of chilled drinks and nibbles. But I hadn't accounted for a 3 hour drive, obviously sober so no drunk talk. So after a while she I say we'll throw on some tunes to as the radio signal had gone. She offered to put on my ipod, she hit shuffle top 25 played. Nearly everyone was a christmas tune and that was the first one. Middle of Oman, 40 degrees, July and Christmas tunes. She was a keeper.

Anyway in summary: first date in July, awkward silence so put on the ipod all christmas tunes, she didnt run away, now Mrs. Jude.

Drooling over the smell of turkey! And hopefully a hell of a lot less cranky than I am today. I need a lot of Christmas music in my life right now!

Must be going around today - I'm having a rubbish day :(:(

So I came on here to escape work for a few minutes and dream about all things Christmassy. This time 3 months I'll be having a glass or two or mulled wine while waiting for the turkey to cook....

For us, we will be chilling out and helping nieces & nephew play with their new toys before we go to my home for 2nd Christmas dinner! :P Since we got married we couldn't agree on which family to spend our first Christmas with so it is becoming a bit of tradition that we go to his home first for Christmas lunch (at 1pm) and then dinner with my family in evening around 7pm lol.

Jude, that is such a lovely story!! You're right it proved that she is a keeper putting on some Christmas songs and not battling an eye at it

Does anyone know when the Boots catalogue comes out?
Also, are there any other shops who have Christmas catalogues? My partner and I love looking through them.

This time 3 months won't be long over dinner tidying up after cooking for my 2nd Christmas...getting into pyjamas deciding what to have for dessert....decisions decisions or I might have it all then what will I wash it down with more prosecco or a beer or maybe a refreshing G&T

What about everyone else?

RentDayBlues

This time 3 months I’ll be sitting down after what I hope has been a wonderful day. My youngest was very sick last Christmas Day and she was bah humbug all day!

At this time 3 months I’ll be having some processco, wondering if it’s a wise decision to take out the cheese or not, but knowing that I will 🎅ðŸ»

angeldelight

Sooo exciting!! I'm hopeful that this time three months we'll be just settling onto the couch with the two year old in bed and be devouring a box of snowballs! I'm a Christmas baby so we'll be just be back from birthday supper and bubbles in my parents

Not too bad. Sure they’re pure Christmas fluff but sure who doesn’t love a bit of fluff.

Aldi also have frozen turkeys in stock!
