    By the next Rudolph Day, it will be the Autumn (ahem), the BT Christmas shop will be open, Rose of Tralee will be over, kids heading back to school, and my own summer holidays will be done and dusted. 😄

    Rudolph day 8 of 11 coming up on Sunday. The last of the non BER months.

    Nice day for a Rudolph day, most of them are missed though being workdays etc, but Sundays seem quite fitting IMO.

    Happy Rudolph Day Everyone!

    Two thirds of the way there. I am marking the day by recovering from being out till 3am the last two nights in a row, still think I'm a young fella 😀

    Only copped this now! By pure chance I'm sitting here watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High and some of it is set at Christmas (possibly all I'm just some of the way through). I'm also drinking wine and am sitting without lights on just lots of candles around the mantle place. I think that's pretty christmassy.

    Missed this one nursing a hangover 🙈🙈

    What is rare is wonderful though.

    Totally missed Rudolph day. Between LC/CAO results and the littlest elf starting secondary on Monday and having my own first lecture yesterday, it has been a bit hectic. Have never so completely missed one before!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭BK5


    Next Rudolph Day is on Wednesday, how quick has it come around since the last one only a few days ago?

    By the way I am 51 and 3 quarters today and yes I have had a few beers so I'm feeling giddy, time to put on Christmas FM 😄

    Any excuse for a celebration... why wait a full year? 😉

    If you're born in December, you should definitely at least celebrate your half birthday!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭BK5


    Definitely, never had a 21st or a 40th because (a) couldn't be bothered and (b) didn't want to inconvenience people with birthday invites when they have enough on their plates with Christmas.

    My sister is going there for the 3rd year in a row in mid November, they have it fully decorated by then and she says it's fab.

    Today was rough but we had a spa experience booked today and the senior elf had indoor activities booked so we thankfully avoided the worst of the rain.
