Saw few on eBay that may do the job just not same brand. Shadow, I love the way you said just like Santa!

And of course my boys have those robot pet spider things that have glowing eyes and scuttle across the floor ... ( shudders uncontrollably ) I have found them in my bed under my pillow in my car and perhap most embarrassingly in my hand bag at a checkout in lidl. Well when I touched it then looked in my bag and seen these hairy legs .. the scream that followed was near slasher movie style comical. So if Mr toto is terrified of those dolls I feel his pain .. and from personal experience the lunchbox and bedside the loo rolls and in a bag or brief case are all great places to hide em

The christmas forum on here really emits what the spirit of christmas is about all year around and I think that's why it's continously such a strong thread all year round. just my 2 cents worth

So any ideas or thoughts? I was thinking of doing Boards.ie Greatest ever Christmas Film, where you'd nominate your favorite Christmas movie and then depending on the number of Noms we'd go into a straight head to head knockout tournament until there is only one Christmas Film left standing. But I am open to all ideas.
Glitzgirl wrote: » Oh probably a crazy idea but there are quiet a few craft and baking types on here. What about a 12 reciepe countdown we could all do a mini bake off or set a challenge as we get closer to christmas like host a snowman themed breakfast etc. People can share there pics and snaps of it at the end of each week ?
Glitzgirl wrote: » Will that be like the review we had a while ago where we do a write up on your favourite films each week ? Or have I totally got the concept wrong ? Agreed about know your elves concept
Loughc wrote: » Sorta, but not, haha. So essential say we end up with Home Alone Vs. Muppets Christmas Carol, there'd be a poll for you to vote for your favorite of the two and you'd post your reasons why you picked one over the other. The one with the most votes advances to the next round.
