    Maybe it was the dark evening, or the horrible weather or the Malteaser Reindeer but yesterday's Rudolph day felt the most Christmassy of them all.

    Be easy to forget our eleventh and final Rudolph day of 2022 what with it being the LLTS day, but do remember it's this coming Friday.

    Think there's s few here planning Christmas related activities though 😉

    I like to think of this as a gift to us Christmas Forum posters. Rudolph day, toy show day and decoration day all wrapped up in one!

    November and January are my two favourite Rudolph days, November the hype is real and January as I usually still have Christmas treats to eat and the festive feeling is still strong!

    I admire anyone who can carry real festive spirit over into the latter end of January, by that stage I'm screaming for April & May to arrive!!

    You need to buy more Christmas treats so they carry over until late January haha

    I have 2 piranha's for children, there is no chance of treats lasting beyond the season 🤣

    Have to say I like the Rudolph Day in June, it means we are at the halfway mark and Christmas in July happens in a few places and also the first tingles of a new Christmas is starting like @freshpopcorn telling us that "we have only one more non-Christmas month" 😊

    Happy Last Rudolph Day of 2022!

    Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend. I think a hell of a lot of decorations will be going up this weekend.

    Some dates for your Calendar.... well not really dates more observations...

    image.png

    There are 3 Saturday Rudolph Days this year, 1 Sunday and 1 Friday, so 5 Rudi Days out of 11 fall on the weekend which is good.

    The last Rudolph Day in Nov (and the best one IMO) falls nicely on a Saturday, meaning most of us will have the tree up, Christmas music will be playing, Christmas Ads everywhere to be seen.... and a Saturday to enjoy and soak it all in.

    The 25th of June is looking tasty... might be a perfect Sunday to do a full Christmas dinner. Well minus the sprouts!

    No desert for you unless you eat at least one spout, young man!

    I don't think you can get sprouts in June, that's why I said no sprouts, I actually like sprouts haha.

    Happy Rudolph Day Everyone. Hopefully the next few will come around quicker than this one. Can't believe it's only been a month since Christmas Day, feels like 3 months ago.

    Think I'll have a Pud tonight to celebrate, down to 5!

    Happy Rudolph Day, everyone! Just realised it when I went to record the date for work. Think I'll have some Christmas pudding later...if I remember.

    Happy Rudolf Day everyone. Can't decide between a mince pie or a mini pudding - might have to have both 😂.
