    My my how quickly we've gone from 100 to 50 on the countdown... I suspect the next 50 will go even quicker.

    Nutcracker dolls most commonly made to resemble a toy soldier. In German tradition, the dolls are symbols of good luck, frightening away malevolent spirits. While nearly all nutcrackers from before the first half of the 20th century are functional, a significant proportion of modern nutcrackers are primarily decorative, and not able to crack nuts.

    The realisation that its 39 days to go in 2 days has really freaked me out.

    the 100-1 countdown is on another planet on speed compared to 300-201 and 200-101.

    Funnily enough this is the time I feel we're in a Christmas limbo of sorts. Christmas stuff is appearing all over yet it seems too early to put up the decorations & go all out on the tunes etc. and I haven't quite gotten fully into the Christmas mood (to be fair it'll probably be work finishing up before that happens) so the next stage for me will be the LLTS weekend, with our decorations going up & Christmas FM launching on FM on the Sunday after... then I'll be as close to being in christmas mode as possible until the day I finish up work for the year.

    As ever the time is flying by though... but then again, cliché's are cliché's for a reason 😀

    You have just explained perfectly how I feel.

    The OH's birthday is 30th November and I always feel like we can't get Christmassy until that is done.


    I feel really in limbo at the moment
