One month today and it’ll be Christmas!!!!! WOW!

God I didn’t look like that, I have everything I think I need.... I know there is one more thing to buy but it will have to wait till I am paid next month! lol Need to save my money for Sweden this week! :)
At least I save money, not going to the work doing, the places where very limted and to be honest no one was keen as they are holding it out of town and it’s really awkward to get home unless your (a) not going to drink and (b) taking a car.... so that’s £50 saved...
But I’ll party this week in Stockholm with Jackie!

I put my tree up yesterday. It was very exciting. Also put out my snow display as well. Spent £8 on cotton wool rolls and balls and covered every flat surface in the lounge with it. It looks very festive!

.... I have too many niece and nephew, so i can’t afford to buy gift for all of them yet :P
TinyBubbles said on November 28, 2005 13:49:
We put our christmas decorations up the 1st of December too.
When do you open presents in your country? Christamas day or Christmas eve??
rox-kuryliw said on November 28, 2005 16:05:
pwbbounce your SO lucky , we start last day and finish 1st dec , gets more each year, its all good fun :-D .
I think its so funny how some countries do stuff differently, I mean we normally open one present on christmas eve (cos we cant wait lol) and the rest in morning. good lord how old am i lol

More sun for me this Christmas: I’ll be relaxing in Córdoba ;-) All the best, Rich
TinyBubbles said on November 29, 2005 13:46:
And what do you put on top of the tree? A star or an angel??
ally77 said on November 29, 2005 19:54:
I like angels... but living alone now I just have a fibre optic tree... looks good and doesn’t take ages to put up!

I got into Xmas feeling when I was in Sweden last week :)
Have already found some presents/ideas for my love.. just have to buy them!
One of them is an MP3 player.. but I’m still not sure WHAT to get.. any suggestion?
I’m also planning to get a big xmas tree (plastic!) - we have a tiny one but I know she wants a big/medium one..
but ssshhhh! ;)

I hope she don’t read this Judith! :) MP3 is a good present, you can get some great ones nowadays! :)
Well I got my second Christmas card in the mail yesterday, my first came in October.... I make a habit of not opening xmas cards till December, so opened both this morning...
It’s early and I look outside the house part of the street looks like santa’s grotto.... two house down the bottom end of where I live look so nice lit up, they leave there lights on all night. I’d take photos but I’ve packed my camera for Sweden now.
I can’t wait to go to some Christmas markets in Stockholm, esp Skansen! :)
