    I tried to stay awake till midnight as I knew you would have the countdown updated straight away popcorn however sleep got the better of me.

    Feels like a milestone day and a perfect time to start the Christmas list of things I want/need to get done. Stick it on the fridge so it doesn't get lost.

    I'd love to build my own tin! Don't think there's anywhere in Ireland where you can do that, though. :(


    On boards you could?

    Like a Kris Kringle where 12 boardsies buy a box each and swaps out their unwanted flavours for wanted ones. :D.



    John Lewis lets you pick your own tin but you need a minimum of 4 different flavours and it costs £12 for the tin and £3 to pick your own. Though Brexit might scupper that idea??

    Just saw that Wild Lights is back this year. While it's not strictly Christmas themed, I loved it last year and felt very festive walking around all wrapped up drinking my hot chocolate... I don't even like hot chocolate but had to get into the spirit of things :D

    Can I ask, is it okay to post a link to a website of a crafter I know who makes gorgeous pieces and has a Christmas section on her website? Don't wanna go breaking any rules ;)

    This is what makes buying the kids presents from Santa too early very risky. They are likely (and have done in the past) to put in a very late change of mind form which has caused mild panic! :eek:

    Box of 12. :cool:

    They're not great, but they'll do until the Foods of Athenry ones get on the market.

    It was super foggy where I was this morning... and I LOVED it, the fog is just beautiful to look at. So mysterious and automatically gets me singing Rudolph the red nose reindeer.

    I can’t believe it, I actually gave in and bought a box of heroes already! I passed by the roses and eye rolled then the celebrations and looked at people grabbing them of the shelves then I got to the heroes and…… Well you can guess the rest!! :D :rolleyes:
