I love the old black and white films.

Me too! Do you have any recommendations for old types of Christmas films?

Ok people, today is officially Christmas tree putting up day (need to work on the name). What’s your choice of film while putting up the tree? I’m thinking maybe Christmas vacation.

Me too! I always watch the Santa clause

I want these for either hanging round the newel post at the bottom of the stairs or off of my mantel piece. They are habitat in Sainsburys but not available through Argos so can only add them to my basket through Sainsburys. I don't do food shopping in Sainsburys so it's not like I can even justify putting an order in for them to possibly end up subbing them anyway. I'm going to have to make a trip to Sainsburys to try and find them View attachment 2593283

I bought some gold hanging bells from Home Bargains the other day. They’re currently hanging from my living room curtain rail

Does anyone have any recommendations for table crackers? I fancy something a bit different like these Hotel Chocolate crackers

If you want these buy them, hotel Chocolat has been acquired by mars so its future doesn’t look promising!

It's not the best stock checker tool, but it might help
You have to manually change the store you want to check each time - it doesn't just show you what stores nearby have it

I wish they would just have the stock check option on the page of the item like boots or M&S

Ooh I’ve been thinking about buying these ones in Sainsburys, they’re very similar! I’ve resisted every time I walk past the Christmas aisle! Maybe this is a sign we should both buy them

I'm going to watch love actually at the cinema tonight and I can't wait. First Christmas film of the year so far

Anything I can find on the free view channels.
Yesterday I watched Passport to Pimlico and Whisky Galore.
Bound to be some Christmas ones soon

I saw them - an influencer said if bells are not the exact colour you want (as they're a dupe of Neptune/The White Company?) you can put some rub and buff on to change the colour to bronze and change the colour of the ribbon . I couldn't be bothered with the faff

These look great. No plastic rubbish or tat in them. Consumables

It's a wonderful life.
Elf
Home Alone
Jack Frost
Christmas with the Kranks
Arthur Christmas
My cousins and I would always watch The Mighty ducks too.
---
The animated Grinch

They also made this with Santa retiring and trying to find a replacement.

I cannot stand Elf
100% the worst Christmas movie

 

[Marylou]

My first time watching Jack Frost from start to finish last night and I loved it. Did have a lump in my throat at times and cried at the end

I love Jack Frost always makes me tear up

I'm not keen on The Holiday.

 

[peekachu]

I like to watch films that have Christmas scenes in, then build up to watching the full-on festive favourites

I always watch Nightmare before Christmas first, then I think I’ll watch Edward Scissorhands and Gremlins next!

 

[Former_Antelopee]

I love the 1998 Rudolph the movie

Yesssss I hate Elf!!!


Also i’ve never seen home alone

 

[CinnamonSwirl]

Currently decorating the Christmas tree, about to make a mulled wine and make some festive sausage rolls, this is my favourite time of year

I finally found a gift donation tree so I will be choosing someone to buy a gift for.
