Rudolph Day

Loughc · 04-01-2018 1:01pm #1

As some of you may or may not know, Christmas Enthusiasts like ourselves celebrate a little bit of Christmas on the 25th of each month outside of December and they call that day each month, Rudolph Day.

I think it's a great idea and not something I've stuck to myself but I'm going to try my best to stick to it this year, so why not plan ideas for it here.

I'm thinking one month you could watch a Christmas Movie on the 25th, wear Christmas socks to work, make a festive treat for yourself, and dare I say could we even finally get a Forum Meet Up to happen on a 25th?

Also March 25th is Waffle Day so that's that one already sorted!

So share your thoughts, ideas and pics of what you will do for Rudolph Day(s) in 2018.

Love this idea! I’m definitely going to cook turkey for dinner in February when the 25th falls at the weekend. Just a turkey drumstick! Not an actual turkey.

I’m going to go look up ideas now.

The 25th of January is Burns Night, the brightest note in a dull month and something to look forward to, for when Christmas is over.

milli milli · 06-01-2018 6:02pm

Aw that's such a lovely idea and I love the name! What a great thing to look forward to each month!
I'll put a reminder into my phone for it!

Loughc · 06-01-2018 9:02pm

Do what ye all think, Jan 25th will we make it Christmas Socks day?

And we can all post up pics of our socks that day, for the office folk we can use the excuse the Christmas ones were accidentally left in rotation haha.

Toto Wolfcastle · 06-01-2018 10:17pm

Love it! No one in the office will see my elf socks under my skinny jeans. :cool:

Toto Wolfcastle · 16-01-2018 10:12pm

Not long to go until the first Rudolph Day of the year! I'm not going to lie, I've had to actively avoid all the Christmas socks in the drawer in anticipation!

Haha I did the same yesterday’s morning as a Monday morning treat I was going to wear Christmas socks to cheer myself up but I was like nope, not until the 25th.

Posy · 17-01-2018 12:00am

Hmm... wonder what socks I'll wear on the 25th? :pac:

Jude13 · 17-01-2018 4:41am

I am shocked to note that I do not own a pair of Christmas socks. So it's Christmas jocks for me and they will not be shown off around the office but I will know.

DvB · 18-01-2018 5:08pm

Think I'll partake in Rudolph day this year. The crimbo socks I discussed in another thread shall be worn on the 25th of each month from now on rather than keeping them up for 11 months. A token gesture perhaps but hey, its the little things!

SarahLil · 18-01-2018 9:52pm

Great idea I wondered what Rudolph day was when I heard it mentioned before
I don’t own Christmas socks 😢
I’ll see if there are any floating around in Heatons sale

Loughc · 20-01-2018 4:53pm

Less than a week to our first Rudolph day of the year

irishcailin · 20-01-2018 5:03pm

I'm going to join you all. Don't own Christmas socks but i'll find something festive to wear ðŸ˜Š

Loughc · 21-01-2018 11:40pm

LIDL have waffle makers on sale this Thursday for anyone in search of a waffle maker for waffle day March 25th.

Posy · 22-01-2018 1:19am

That's where I got mine last year!

CheerLouth · 22-01-2018 8:57am

I think my sandwich maker has waffle plates - I've never used them! Do you just use the same mixture as you would for pancakes like?

Toto Wolfcastle · 22-01-2018 8:59am

This is the recipe I use. I reduce the salt to a pinch though.

Thanks Toto!

baby and crumble · 22-01-2018 10:02am

So... unknowingly I got married on a Rudoplh Day so that makes all this extra exciting! I'm for Sock Day.

Loughc · 22-01-2018 1:34pm

So any ideas for the remaining Rudolph Days?

I love how 3 of them land on a Sunday, I think a trial Christmas dinner should be in order for one of the Sundays and watch a Christmas Movie day.

Jude13 · 23-01-2018 5:36am

I tentatively floated Rudolph day with the bah Humbug OH (not really she just doesn't get Christmas 12 months of the year)..silence. She went and got a pair of Christmas socks saying she would wear them. So we're both in. Now all I need is a ham.

Posy · 23-01-2018 8:14am

Hooray!

chuckles30 · 23-01-2018 12:28pm

I don't have Christmas socks, but definitely going to do something Christmassy on Thursday. Oh & it's payday.....first one since Christmas......I'll be able to buy food again

:D:D:D

Jude13 · 25-01-2018 4:16am

Rubberchikken · 25-01-2018 4:21am

Im in:) my son was born on a Rudolph day and i wear christmas socks all the time just never thought about it before:rolleyes::P

Loughc · 25-01-2018 7:55am

It wouldn’t be a Rudolph day with Rudolph socks!

Toto Wolfcastle · 25-01-2018 8:32am

Minor panic stations this morning when I couldn’t find these socks amongst the pile of Christmas socks! My husband is wearing Darth Vader socks because Star Wars was released at Christmas last year and last night he sang a Jingle Bells version of the Imperial March so he’s trying! :pac:

Happy Rudolph day. This is the closest thing I have to Christmas socks.

CheerLouth · 25-01-2018 9:07am

Happy Rudolph Day, everyone! I have no Christmas Socks so I'll have a slice of Christmas cake tonight in my Christmas jammies

Caranica · 25-01-2018 9:15am

Have an important meeting this morning so it's heels rather than boots and socks. Plan to watch my favourite Christmas film ever tonight though. A muppet family Christmas, it's got Muppets, Fraggles and the Sesame Street gang, what's not to love!

Boards.ie: Mark · 25-01-2018 9:18am

Happy Rudolph Day from Boards HQ. Note to self: buy better Christmas socks...

Mam of 4 · 25-01-2018 9:55am

Incredibly warm!

Toto Wolfcastle · 25-01-2018 11:41am

I just realised that my lunch is vaguely Christmassy too. Well, it has turkey mince in it.

ForestFire · 25-01-2018 12:02pm

I am shock and disgusted by the contents of this tread and what is transpiring....between Sexism, Racedeerism, and the poor turkeys ....:o

You do know there are 8 other reindeer!!!:)
How do you think they feel not to have a day for them:D

mmmm...... I do like stuffed Turkey though, I might have some of that today amyway:rolleyes:

Thanks

Posy · 25-01-2018 2:45pm

Happy Rudolph Day to you all.

I'll post a pic of my socks later!

Whispered · 25-01-2018 3:22pm

I don't have Christmas socks but I will have my "wannabe rudolf" pyjamas on from about 5pm.

Rudolph Day
