Still have the rest of my shopping to do though.
Same. Have to pick up the last of the kids things later and that is them all sort, pretty much. Still deciding on a bike for Elf1 so need to make a final decision soon as kids bikes seem to be hard to come by.
Smyths aren't doing there usual sale however some things seemed to be a lot cheaper this weekend so we picked up what we wanted. Was in The Works as well so got some more books as well. Just a few stocking fillers to get now.
OH's main presents sorted as well, so feeling a lot more organised this year.
Other main presents for adults will most likely be vouchers or weekend away for folks (maybe!).
Just need to get stuff for 2 nephews and 1 niece and all done 0 -

We've a few small stocking fillers & gifts for one another (i.e myself & the Mrs) & other than that are done. But the stocking fillers are the little bits we like to pick up on the build up so dont mind that at all. Like every other year the Mrs 'surprise' will be the tricky one.
As restrictions are likely to get tougher rather than better for Christmas (hoping its not the case but best be prepared) its looking increasingly like a christmas at home with just the 4 of us & no guests for dinner etc. so the spend for the food & drink side of things should be less this year too, with social events unlikely either I doubt we'll be buying much in the way of new clothes either (unless we see some real bargains) so despte wanting to go OTT a tad to make up for the year its been I suspect it'll be mostly just the 4 of us making our own christmas family fun. Normally Christmas for us is a great big family affair so that will be unusual in itself, but we both agreed on Saturday night its an opportunity to do something smaller & memorable too so we may as well enjoy it for what it is. Hoping its a crisp dry christmas so we can get out for some nice walks etc. now.
We were just saying the same yesterday.
Was Elf1's birthday over the weekend and no party with school friends, cousins etc. Grandparents came over and we sat in garden and did some cake.
Gave us a bit of an insight to what Christmas will most likely be like and while it might not be what we want, like you guys we will make the best of it and enjoy the time anyway.
Got an email from Christmas Island, the last couple of years we have gone all together with my family and stayed in my sisters place as is near by. This year they are only allowing immediate families to go together. Also unlikely we would be able to have 4 different households in the same place so looks like that weekend is out

I didn't get the email and I've booked every year for about 4-5 years. I did see on their FB page that they are opening, and it'll be a reduced time slot about 50-60 minutes. The full details will be released on Friday. I don't think they'll be refunding though if it weren't to go ahead. I'll probably wait to closer to the time and see if we can get a local Santa, all going well. I presume it'll be the 2m rule when seeing Santa?0 -
