    The hailstones were so loud on the velux window during a call earlier I had to go on mute and shout when saying anything!

    Saw dunnes stores mulled wine with their Christmas logo on the label on sale in dunnes blanchardstown yesterday. Obviously unsold stock from before Christmas but who's likely to buy it for Easter?

    I have Baileys both at Christmas, and Easter- but I wouldn't apply the same cross over logic to mulled wine!

    Yankee Candle Alert!!!

    Mr. Price in Ashbourne have the full size jar of Singing Carols at €17.99

    Bought this one last year and it's lovely.... here's a description from a well-known YC site and it's pretty much accurate...

    Practiced Good King Wenceslas this afternoon on the piano, and I've learned the first page of Deck the Halls today.

    I want to have a little repertoire built up by the time Christmas rolls around. :)

    Same here. We ended up watching 'The Star' on Amazon prime. A cartoon about the birth of Jesus. Was pretty good.

    I called in to my parents yesterday, who were watching The Sound of Music, which they usually only watch over Christmas. With the wind and rain howling outside, all that was missing was the fire and a tin of chocolates!
