    Bought my christmas tree

    and

    Following a bit of a red and white theme this year as I don't really like the multi-coloured decorations so I bought

    61dro3rQrJL._SX385_.jpg

    and just some run of the mill red baubles, white baubles and green baubles.

    I tend to buy the regular items like the baubles online and then I go into the various shops, woodies, dunnes, heatons etc. and pick up the individual decorations and some "keepers" to remember every year by.

    Also I finally got going on Christmas shopping :) I got all the little stocking fillers that I needed so all I have left to get is my husband's main present which is going to be one of those gaming chairs, make up for my sister and a gift card for her husband, I'll be getting those when I'm in Dublin in two weeks' time.

    Excited!

    Where did you get them Posy?
    I got them at the Ideal Homes show in the RDS, but I'd assume you'd find them elsewhere! :)

    I have the matching napkin rings for those :eek:
    If it's any help I'll look in the shop I bought them in for you, Lockie.

    Made use of the 20% M&S discount FRIENDSNOV to buy a gift for a family member.

    But more importantly I bought an awesome singing/lighty up straw in Homestore and More.

    Almost finished all my shopping. Yay!

    Bought some bits for a friend today, hope the last few bits arrive from eBay in time for Xmas :)

    Going to wrap my boyfriends sisters present tomorrow, can't wait to have everything wrapped up :D

    Waiting on my bf to decide what he wants exactly so hopefully he'll let me know by tomorrow :D

    Mother's decided she wants a voucher for Wallis, so I'll get that, along with my granny's present on Xmas week!

    Also got my cinnamon stick candle from homestore and more today. Its such a gorgeous, warming, homely scent. I love it. Thinking of ordering another one as I got this one so cheaply :)

    Most stuff is wrapped but waiting on a few things in the post. Socket newly installed in the porch so we can have 2 trees. Christmas pyjamas are bought. Mince meat maturing, full size puddings maturing, 2 mini puddings cooling and 2 still on the hob.

    Left to do: check the tree lights are working (today), make cranberry sauce (tomorrow), print a picture, wrap about 4 more presents, decorate trees (tomorrow) and put up other decorations, eat the remaining advent calendar sweets (one per day), cook & glaze ham (Christmas Eve), defend ham from Christmas Eve munchers, make the trifle, unwrap presents (CHRISTMAS!!), consume anything edible that arrived in stocking immediately :D and then cook the dinner. Roll around over stuffed and mildly nauseated, then make the sandwiches as soon as the nausea passes. Wash down with scalding tea and cake and pudding. Done!

    Got a fab looking old fashioned Santa yesterday, not in the bright red, more a burgundy colour, with a jute sack and glasses. I love it. And little mouse singing carols, it's as corny but as cute as anything...
