    The christmas tree in work came up for discussion today due to us moving office recently, and where to store it in the new one... the funny thing was it was raised by the biggest 'bah humbug' in the company who hates the mention of the 'c' word before December 21st or suchlike :D

    Well if the rest of the year flies like the beginning of the year, it'll be November in about a month!

    Die hard 2 on Sony movies tonight at 9.00pm.

    I know some here consider this also to be a Christmas movie.

    Caught the end of it. They play 'Let it Snow' as the closing credits are rolling so guess that makes it qualify :D

    Funnily enough I always considered Die Hard II more of a Christmas film than the first. Maybe its the snow:pac:

    I guess it's the age old debate around what constitutes a Christmas movie. Both are set at Christmas time so to me that is probably enough to get in.

    I'm now thinking about shooting a helicopter with a car! :eek:

    Came in from work yesterday evening and caught the last ten minutes of The Repair Shop Christmas edition, two brothers got a Raleigh Chopper restored from when they were kids 44 years ago. The delight on their faces when they saw the bike done up was great to see, they looked like they were kids again on Christmas morning.

    Later in the evening I noticed Christmas editions of Brooklyn Nine Nine and Friends were on when I was channel hoping, does anyone else notice this? Christmas editions of shows seem to pop up in 2's and 3's of an evening on the telly.

    Got a big bag of clothes/shoes for the kids off my sister over the weekend. My wife opened it last night when we got home and was a pair of reindeer slippers for the young lad. He put them straight on and wouldn't take then off. Was running around singing Jingle Bells and asking me how long till Santa would be coming! Bless him, really made me smile :)

    Saw there that the tesco Christmas advert was bring shot this weekend... and earlist sighting yet of the Christmas tubs of sweets, celebrations spotted in various stores in the UK this weekend. Suspect it'll be a couple of months before we see them over here.

    Tesco is currently fully stocked with back to school items which always reminds me of the run up to Christmas.

    Yep, I love the Autumn season then the Christmas season, and it's slowly getting closer.

    I can't wait.

    It feels sort of strange this year.
    I'm getting ready for the Lidl and Aldi books which are all about getting your garden ready for Autumn, Winter.

    Some might say they are only about eleven days of Summer left!

    I'm in the club to. Don't admit it over in After Hours tough.

    My theory is that the Argos Autumn/Winter Catalogue comes out for August. So, it's Autumn.

    I know we've had this discussion before on here but I was taught back in national schoo (all those years ago)

    Spring = Feb, Mar, Apr
    Summer = May, June, July
    Autumn = Aug, Sept, Oct
    Winter = Nov, Dec, Jan

    I always loved the fact they were a month off being 4 perfect quarters within the one calendar year & I've always stuck to that being the 4 seasons, whatever anyone else says.

    I went for a walk at 7 this morning with the doggo and the temperature was only 9 degrees you could smell the cold in the air, it was a lovely fresh morning, very reminiscent of the cold crisp winter mornings.

    Clear crisp mornings are great. So peaceful & relaxing to walk/run in etc.
