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.

Need some more irreverent sports stuff for @Posy 😂

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.

Yep once we hit the 17th of September sure it's the 23rd of December right after that.

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

At least X Factor didn't make it!

Even I know it's finished.

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!!

January is a slow month to fair.

I'm surprised they haven't Mary Kennedys neighbors friend cousin's cleaner to do it this year going by the people they picked.

They refused, thought it was below them.

DvB · 27-01-2022 10:46am

First 4 of these can be marked off!!

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

DvB · 27-01-2022 11:27am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118539210#Comment_118539210

yeah would agree with that.

And we're up and running........

Posy · 27-01-2022 7:58pm

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

DvB · 27-01-2022 10:18pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118542136#Comment_118542136

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

Posy · 27-01-2022 11:09pm

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.

FP messing with your head 😂

Littlehorny · 04-02-2022 11:38pm

I would add "January being thankfully over" to any Christmas yearly checklist ☺️

DvB · 01-03-2022 9:24am

All the way up to pancake Tuesday can be marked off now.

TRS30 · 01-03-2022 10:32am

Will be another 4 done by the end of the month as well.

Loughc · 01-03-2022 11:10am

All updated now, satisfiying crossing off a load, feels like we are making progress.

DvB · 30-03-2022 10:56am

St Patrick's Day

Dancing with the Stars ends

Waffle Day 25th March

Clocks go Forward/Mother's Day 27th March

All can be marked off now...

Loughc · 31-03-2022 9:47pm

Done now DVB.

Ah lads I completely forgot about waffle day. Sickened!!

Posy · 31-03-2022 11:48pm

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! 😁

Loughc · 01-04-2022 8:55am

Saturday waffles.... niiiiice.

Posy · 04-05-2022 11:56pm

The next thing to cross off is next week's Eurovision, then it's onto the June bank holiday. What is going on at all??!
