    The first weekend Rudolph day is June 25th which is nice and half way.

    Next weekend Rudolph day is September 25th. Rudolph day falls on a Friday 3 time this year meaning rudi loves that Friday feeling.

    they're the first 3 dates I put on my wall planner every year 😀

    The scary thing is, as long as that list looks we'll be through it in no time.

    It's the inclusion of Dancing with the Stars that's made me wince. 😂😂

    I laughed, but thanfully there doesn't seem to be any chance of any more lockdowns, cases won't get much higher than they are now and everything bar hospitiality remains fully open.

    Worth noting November 25th is a Friday and most likely the day the Toy Show is on and many of us put up our tree. What a way to celebrate the last Rudolph Day of the year this year!!

    2 Marked off and 2 deleted as I count NYD and Little Christmas as part of Christmas 2021 and not 2022.

    Is Dancing with the Stars ends really a big enough event to be crossing off on the countdown? 😂

    Wouldn't put it on the same level as strictly myself, but it's a group effort at the end of the day.

    It is. 🙂

    I just specifically meant the end- the end of Bake Off and Strictly aren't listed, likewise the end of the Winter Olympics and World Cup, so it upset my OCD. It's clearly just my issue. 😂

    OOH, hadn't copped that.... agree, starting these things is usually the marker, not the ending as you say.

    I remembered it, and lamented my waffle-less state. Next year will be a Saturday, and I will make sure I make/get a waffle somewhere! 😁
