I get a normal skirt in under it. I had a train that used to go around my old tree but it wouldn't fit under the new tree as the lower branches are quite big.

I am feeling soo festive today !

Seen my memories on Facebook from this day last year and I had already started decorating so running behind this year.

It was lovely to wake up to frost this morning give the kids their scarves and hats on the way to school

Spent my day morning prepping our christmas eve boxes and got some gorgeous hamper baskets in deals 2 weeks ago for 5 euro each. I always make up 2 x hampers for the 2 lovely older men and their wives that Mr glitz works with in the office

Perfect ! That's the one ! I would like one with a bit of depth at the base. Can you fit one if the wooden tree skirts / baskets underneath do you know ?

Yes I did indeed get the 7ft one. I love it. But one thing against it is, it's very wide and thick. Make sure you have the space to put it somewhere.

We just about make room for it each year, but it's totally worth it.

Loughc sorry from memory I know you recommended the christmas tree from home store and more last year. Can't remember did you get the 7ft ? Looking at them online now

Plus 1 for the Homestore & more tree! Got it last year for our kitchen - it was lovely! Can't wait to put it up again this year! Very full - looked great, lots of compliments on it!

It’s only right! It’s nice to ease yourself back into wearing Christmas themed things!

I wore 3 pairs of Christmas socks last week and they all developed holes.

Oh no! I hate when I lose a pair especially when they're a fav pair.

I don't know if it's the weather or the fact things are ramping up but it feels really Christmassy today!

I would have queued much longer for them haha. You've reminded me now to route out my Christmas socks and bring them back into rotation.

Thanks! I queued for 10 minutes in Penneys to buy them and nothing else. Worth it!

Gorgeous crisp day out there today. I spent 5 minutes fighting with my scarf this morning because I couldn’t figure out how I usually wear it with my big heavy coat! I’m an idiot.

Today’s sock choice is very Christmassy!

Anyone ever hear of this station?

It’s Irish. Been going since 2013 but I’ve only heard about it now.

I actually have heard the name before but I didn’t realise it was Irish.

Snapchat has a section on it called Christmas already. And it’s all about people already getting into the Christmas spirit.

Watch with caution as you may experience strong desires to decorate.

Thats funny, I'd consider the cross shaped one more funeral like! You really can't beat a real wreath- they smell amazing

I think cross-shaped was the wrong description. It's more like this shape:

I can see what he means, as flower arrangements for funerals tend to be on those ring yokes but isn't that kind of fitting? Christmas sort of is a celebration to mark the end of one year and the beginning of the next!

My mother was telling me today that my dad doesn't like circular door wreaths because he thinks they are funereal. They have a sort of cross-shaped one. Anyone else ever heard of such a notion? :pac:

Oh I am so relaxed and not worried about Christmas for the first time in years.

I said last year that I stress myself out worrying about being able to afford everything and how I can't enjoy the festivities until everything's been bought and organised.

Well I said last year that I wasn't going to be like that this year, so I made a plan in the New Year to start putting money by each week and try and get my presents before the madness started.

Well, last Thursday I went out with my list and I bought almost everything.
I can't begin to tell you how much I ENJOYED it and didn't worry about money because I had it. I was able to shop in peace; it was late afternoon and mid-week and the shops were virtually empty.

I WAS planning on waiting til Black Friday for things like perfume but I actually got some perfumes and aftershave in the sale in The Perfume Shop and I was thrilled.

I just have to pick up a book for my Dad and a set of make-up brushes for my sister and I am finished.

I have never been this organised before. Certainly never had all my pressies bought this early but I think I needed to do it.

I am prone to extreme stress (seriously, it makes me ill at times) and little things can really get to me, so this was a fantastic idea and now I feel like I can really look forward to Christmas, knowing I won't be in debt and I won't be worrying if I can afford presents.

I can't wait to curl up on the sofa with my other half, watching Home Alone, with a glass of wine come Christmas Eve!

Happy Christmas one and all!

This year I feel like I have met the love of my life and I can't wait to spend time together! He will be with his kids from a previous relationship (which of course he has to) but it suits me as I will be with family in the country, but then after Christmas we will be sneaking away for a romantic break for the days between Christmas and New Years. I can't wait. I usually find those in-between days so boring. So there will be Christmas with family and loved ones and then a minibreak with an amazing guy to look forward to, then New Years! :P
