Christmas can be a costly time of year and put a lot of pressure on people. I find picking bits up early in the year really help. For instance supervalu have 3 bottles of 2lt soft drinks for 5 euro. Even picking up little bits like that and putting them aside for Halloween and christmas really help !

I hope u enjoy this year a bit more xxx

This reminded me of my favourite Christmas ad last year!!! Mrs Claus!!

Really can't wait to see what new ads will be like this year!

That post about Tesco having their Christmas cake mix in made me wonder if I should have a go at making one this year- it is a bit of tradition for me to make mince pies and Maderia cake (with snow icing).

I second Toto on Penneys and Dunnes for Christmas baubles. Homebase is usually good for big box of baubles too. I bought ours in Homebase and Penneys 4 years ago but don't use much now as we added to our Christmas decor collection over last few years ðŸ˜ I got Disney themed bits over last 2 years so I may be on the track to having a Disney themed tree (2nd one) this year with Penneys latest Disney Christmas bits if I could get them!

I think the likes of Penneys and Dunnes are great for big boxes of baubles that don't cost a fortune, and then you can pick up individual decorations over the years to add. We started with a couple of boxes of cheap baubles and we're at the point now where we only use one of them so we can fit the other bits we've picked up.

I am feeling very festive recently and it's not like me at all.
I don't usually like thinking about Christmas in September because in recent years it's the thought of all the things I need to buy (and the lack of funds!) that fills me with dread, but things have improved slightly this year so instead of worrying, I am actually looking forward to Christmas.

I'm already thinking of doing a bit of online shopping this evening and maybe start looking in the shops for tops/jumpers etc for my fella and Dad.

I know it's early and I don't normally start shopping until November but what's the harm? I think if I start buying one or two things now, I won't feel stressed and if I don't see something I like, it's fine; I have loads of time to find something.

I am particularly looking forward to buying baubles for the tree actually. Last year we threw out loads; we hadn't bought new ones in 10 years!
Where's nice to get baubles?

Yes yes yes! only 100 days to go!!! Been watching the countdown all week in work for this day!

I'd be the opposite. I'd nearly be attacking the staff to know why the stock wasn't out yet!(If I was an awkward customer)

We've dabbed with the idea once or twice but it never got traction. Again it's something I'm always happy to attend so if anyone wants to take the sleigh reigns and try organising one I'll absolutely support it!

I have never seen an image freshpopcorn has posted. I'm just used to it at this stage!
