Ba Humbug

[Zammo]

I'm not in a Christmassy mood, I managed to write some of my Xmas cards last night, thinking that would help me get into the spirit of things but no. My next step is to put my Xmas decorations up, maybe, just maybe that'll help matters. How do you get yourself in the Xmas spirit?? I need all the help I can get this year�.

Have a drink and put some christmassy music on the stereo!

I wasn't, but that was only because I was panicking as I hadn't bought any presents. Then yesterday we went and bought the majority and even bought the tree- so I'm more or less there now and feeling more Christmassy due to that.

Why is it you put your tree lights away carefully every year and they never ruddy work when you get them back out the following year? :-(

[funnygirl]

Tell me about it! I have 3 sets and only managed to get 2 working!!

The best bit is funnygirl when ya other half then spends a fruitless couple of hours peering at each tiny light bulb trying to suss out the offending one, before he finally heeds your advise to "just put the sodding thing in the bin"

Nowadays me and the good lady Mrs colonel have only to buy christmas presents for each other. Well, one prezzy a piece under the tree looks a bit pathetic to say the least, but we'll overcome the problem. My guestion is
Is it easier to buy say ten different gifts for ten different people or ten different gifts for one person

I put the tree & dec's up on Sunday afternoon, so it looks all cosy & Christmassy inside now! Husband's just got to put the little twinkly ones along the garage & down the passion flower trellis, but it's bbbrrr cold out there!

I've still got a bit more trundling about the shops to buy a few more presents for the Granchildren, then I'm done!

I'm so glad I've bought most of the CD's & DVD's online though, that saved a bit of shoe leather! Good old play.com!

See - last one again!
