The 2021 - It's Christmas thread

[fossyant]

Got to be done, to balance out the equilibrium of Christmas spirit - the Bah Humbug is running too high.

Quite enjoy Christmas, if not just for the break. Family get together, nothing too crazy. Visiting the Markets for a beer and food - rarely buy anything other than possibly cheese and coffee.

Looking forward to 'The Book of Boba Fett' just after Christmas !

I’m going away to a bungalow on a lake near Morpeth when I get home from my last day at work. Have a pub meal booked & a tree house restaurant on another day. Also have a steam train ride planned. It’s been a hard rough year with more family losses but I’m really looking forward to Christmas this time. Hopefully things will really turn around for the better next year.
Trimmed up yesterday. I know it’s premature Treejaculation in any other month than December. May we all have a great balance of family time & cycling time. 🎅❄️☃️❄️

It was very christmassy in Manchester yesterday with all the snow. Only 3 and a bit weeks to go, tree is up and the cats are playing hide and seek under it and up it ... generally falls over once or twice as you can imagine.

Christmas?

Love it here.

Just us two.

We make three lovely party days out of it and have a lot of fun.

Xmas is partly for kids but mainly it's for the young at heart.

We got into the routine of always putting up the tree and decorations on 12th December, as that is one of my daughters's birthday.

Even though she left home many years ago and now has 7 & 9 year old boys of her own, we still usually stick to that.

I wouldn't bother but the family insists, it'll just be a busy day, caring for my Good Lady as I do everyday, plus preparing a big meal for the middle of the day and preparing a buffet for the evening,

I've been trying without success to buy one or two if possible of these. One to test it out, one for Christmas Day. Sadly it looks like the greedy have bought them up to sell on fleabay!!

I bet those who've bought them all up to sell on will think they're shoot and just see them as profit. They'll be having the full works, massive turkey, all the trimmings etc, but many of us living alone see them as our actual Christmas Dinner!

Can't be that bad if you have the turkey looking forward to the day.

I've not put the tree up yet and I'll be in Lamma Island with Mr Cookiemonster and friends over Xmas.
