    I'm busying myself baking and making :D Only when all my Christmas shopping and baking and making is done (except icing the cake) will the decorations go up.

    Tree is up :) Feels so Christmassy now.

    Bit off topic but Homestore and More have great deals on lights. Got a set of 480 LED lights for €25. Woodies are selling them for the crazy price of €74

    Well I've had the worst family news, so I think my tree is going up this week. If all them sparkly lights don't cheer me up, nothing will.

    Up to the loft I go.

    I'm someone who does think about Christmas in advance - sometimes up to 11 months ahead :D - but don't understand the desperatation to replace the dignified suspense of Advent with mad festivity of Christmas and then have nothing Christmassy left for January, when the weather's usually miserable and you really need cheering up. So our tree usually goes up on the weekend closest to the 15th and stays up till sometime in January ... or February. After all Twelfth Night to Shrove Tuesday is Carnival! :pac:

    It will thanks, going to try and squeeze even more lights on it this year. At least with LED lights my electric bill won't rival a small country's like it used to with the old style lights!
