Christmas 2022.

Am I right in thinking you feed it rum for a few months?

I soak mine in porter or stout. (any strong dark beer would probably do)

Thinking about it , Iv never even had a Christmas cake

Only part I really like is the marzipan and icing . All the ones I've had so far bit too rich for me. I buy a small sponge/lighter fruit cake/ Dundee cake instead.
I'm not keen on mince pies either.
Main treat we used to enjoy every christmas was my mums homemade sausage rolls. I've never been able to make them anything like she did, and don't really enjoy shop bought ones , so we don't have them anymore either.

Oh god no, that's for December only! Love christmas and do pick up bargain presents throughout the year but I'm still a member of the keep Christmas in December club! That's what keeps it special surely, that it's not all the time!?

Well that's me out for listening to it on my car radio (only radio I've got). Just looked up the manual and it hasn't got DAB . But finding that out , discovered after 6 years driving it has heated door mirrors , and bluetooth which I haven't got the foggiest how to work....

I will join Shane McGowan in a killeroake car version on FairyTale of New York 24hrs a day if I could. There is no way I could ever sing as good as the wonderfully,fantastici, late,great Kirsty MacColl.
It's personal taste. I love Christmas, sadly neither of my boys do.

Every year I buy a box of Christmas cards. Every year I can never find those from the year before. Yes, my home is a tip, but it's an organised tip. I can put my hand on almost everything but the bloomin' Christmas cards!!

 

[BobClay]

All this talk of Christmas !!! I should forewarn you that if I see a fat bloke in a daft red costume clumping about on my roof on Christmas Eve ....

THEN IT'S .50 CALIBRE TIME !!!

(...and that goes for the reindeer too ... )

Last year I wrote on my calendar at the end of November 'Do NOT buy any more Xmas cards!!!'

Every year I forget that I stashed some from the previous years sale!!

I always get mine after Christmas in the Sainsburys sale. Then put them in a safe place. It's so safe, I never put them with the previous years ones!
1 year, I bought from Hillside Animal Sanctuary, I always donate to them when I can, which to be honest, hasn't been that much this year.

I’ve bought blank ones from the range and told the kids to do nice pictures, they’re both quite artistic (they don’t get that from me) and family especially seem to appreciate the personal touch. Same for gift tags.

I've made gift tags out of old christmas cards before , although splashed out on some cheapo ones for this year in the sales last year.

I now have 6 presents bought and sort of stored away. Loosely stored because I will never find them if I put them away in a safe place. I have yet to announce to the younger sister that I won't be doing the dinner at her place this year.................

I've also picked up a few bargains and stored, always in the bottom drawer so I can find them! Unbelievably my family chat has queries already about what people would like. Unheard of!
