It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

Lovely haul @freshpopcorn .

We had those baubles with the "dent" in them growing up.

I think Waterford Crystal brought out a version a few yrs ago as I picked up one for nostalgic sake.

I'd say the originals are still in the parents attic, what's left of them.

100 days until December 1st/Advent calenders.

I never know to click these links or keep them as a treat!

Ha, I'm really posting here a lot. This meant to be my local Tesco. It looks like it because they got Prime in last week.

In the last few years the first channel to change was the Trace Music channel to Trace Xmas and this would happen around the 7th or 8th of September. Great are just going to show Hallmark movies really?

Woke up this morning to a foggy christmasy setting in rural Limerick. Leave here today after work back to the big smoke, then London till Tuesday, back to said goodbye to Dublin for 12 hours then back to the sandpit. Airports always make me feel Christmasy due to 1) Love actually memories 2) flying home for Christmas each year when I first left about 15 years ago 3) having a drink in the longue at an hour where I would never usually consume alcohol.

I have tried to watch them before, but they're just not for me either. I think I did see one with Sabrina, the Teenage Witch a few years ago. And so many long ad breaks too.

Time really flies. You won't miss it until they'll be twenty something.

I'm currently watching all these nostalgia videos on TikTok of the 90's/00's an I honestly don't know where the time has gone.

They make me very sentimental.

I don't know how that's relevant to you.

I also have nieces and nephews who are in their early 30's and can remember them when they were kids so as Ferris Bueller said "life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it".

If any of you don't know who Ferris Bueller is then this old fogey can't help you 😄

@SarahSparkle Lovely pieces.

Regarding Brown Thomas they had lovely stuff but I felt they were a €1 or €2 dearer for items compared to last year.

@SarahSparkle lovely bits, just jumped on the website and got a piece or two to gift to people. Hopefully they arrive before I depart next Wednesday.

Where did that storm come from?? I was out walking in a tshirt earlier and now there's thunder, lightning, hailstones and torrential rain!!
