I’ve only watched Love actually maybe 3/4 times in my life.

Is it a big Christmas movie for you?

I watch it every year but it’s not a fave, we just put numerous Christmas film names in a hat and pull one out to watch.
The rage for this though is unreal ! Haha

Ahhh hello my kind of people, glad i'm not the only one who thinks and talks about christmas all year round!! Following

Disney on Ice goes on sale on 24th May. The O2 dates are Boxing Day onwards.

Oh brilliant thank you very much, what a shame o2 is after Christmas but will still go.

Really recommend christmas.dreamingg on Instagram for year-round cosy Christmas content

Love this!! God I'm all sad now want it to be Christmas

 

[Icbaaaa]

Managed to pick up some lovely glass baubles for next year from The Range!
Quite disappointed in their christmas sale, they still had a lot of stuff left over but was pretty much full price, even their wrapping paper

First week of June that the suns meant to be finally coming out and I have a sudden urge to watch vlogmasses how soon is too soon?

The answer to that is NEVER. Glad I'm not the only one. It's never too early to start prepping for the next upcoming festivities. That way you never have the blues.

It’s my guilty pleasure, I can literally watch like 10 in a row of people walking me through pigs in blankets, carrots, quality street, like I’ve never done a food shop before not Christmas related but similar vein, I love the American “I did a $5k grocery haul” cause they live in the arse end of nowhere and only go shopping twice a year, it really scratches a part of my brain

Same plus freezer meals especially if they are a big family with like 10 kids

loooove how unhinged rebecca robeson is

I’ve been introducing my daughter to Jane Hissey’s Little Bear, it’s all on YouTube (I wish we had a form of physical media left so she could know the joy of videos?!) including the Christmas video!! I *loved* it as a kid, like it sounds weird but the sensory elements of it like the flour on the zebra and him being washed etc etc? 🥲

I’m sorry to say this about another woman, but it’s Kiera Knightley who ruins the entire movie for me.

My sister went to a movie with live orchestra today and really liked it. They also did ELF at the Royal Albert hall last year.

I’m undecided on the Disney on ice tickets.

It seems quite pricey.

Re Disney on ice - I know you don’t have kids so I’d say consider the potential hell/disappointment of being surrounded by kids in varying states of dysregulation? As happens to all kids this isn’t a slight on anyone! But it’s a consideration for even going with my LO cos I cba to go through that effort to be overstimulated af by a huge venue of kids going off!

I won a gift set in a raffle. I was going to give it as a gift for Christmas but the packaging doesn't look the best. Do you think if I wrapped each item plus some other bits it would be alright?

 

[rainbowlemon]

Thanks I’m going to book tickets for my sisters.

I put a pair of Christmas pajamas on today. In my defence, they finally fit and I'm going to enjoy the rest of evening looking at the tartan on my legs

I have an old Grinch T shirt my grandfather posted from Norway for me. I wear it all the time not just at Christmas.

June Christmas Confession -
Last week I spent a small fortune buying The Grinch - Tonies - Characters x 3 because I couldn’t cope with the stress of waiting for them to go on sale closer to Christmas.

This is a great idea for little ones I have to buy for. Googling now and will most probably purchase before they go out of stock

I've already got two unused rolls of wrapping paper from last year and I bought some gift bags and a few cards in the sale.

 

[Multi-21]

Argos have reduced their wrapping paper - 3 rolls for 65p

Sadly out of stock where I live but good tip!
