Christmas 2024

[coconochanel]

I've never had any problems with my EB mugs but I don't put mine in the dishwasher I wash them by hand.

My Christmas cake was a bit odd this year. I made the Jane's Patisserie one. When I had my first taste weeks later there was a burst and fizz on my tongue and a taste I couldn't put my finger on. I knew it was the liquid so lemon juice or the rum.
I got another opinion and they thought "a bit Carribeany". I dug out the rum bottle as it had quite a bit of rum in the cake and it said it was Carribeany rum, but I thought rum came from the Carribbean?
Anyway, a few weeks further on it's delicious but not my idea of Christmas cake.

Sounds delicious

Compared to the cheapest Nutcracker Ballet tickets.

Just preordered an advent calendar for my husband. He looks sweets and this is one that has different sweets behind each window. He gets frustrated with the haribo one as most of them are the same.

Which brand did you order?

Not 100% the same thing , with a countdown but I love this couple.

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.

It seems quite pricey.

Ooh where is this? Yeah her one facial expression is annoying also but you don't go messing with another man's woman.

I spend about £300 on a fake tree my first one after having real ones and am thrilled with it, doesn’t look ‘fake’ works out cheaper over the years, no mess I never thought I’d have one but highly recommend it.

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?

Do it.

we bought a real Christmas tree for outside it wasn't a potted one. its been sitting in sand and water in a wooden planter since the end of November it still looks fab, even though we've had quite a few storms since then. The lights and baubles were taken down on the 4th of January, we bought it from Home bargains for I'm sure £10.95 which was great value considering how much Dobbies wanted for similar.

Dress it up for Valentine’s Day!

I usually start shopping in September one the kids are back in education

I love watching the cleaning for Xmas or Xmas food shop vlogs. I don’t know why, I find them so relaxing and get me more excited for Xmas when the time comes than most other vlogmas activities

Yesssss, these are my favourite ones too. Food ones may be my fave lol

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

Booked a cruise for the Christmas week. Just me and my husband. No cooking, cleaning, family arguments. Just us and relaxation.

Can I ask what sort of Cruise?

I may have watched a couple layely

 

[coconochanel]

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

Is it a big Christmas movie for you?

It was always Home alone for us as kids.

Oh I really enjoy watching Love Actually I watch it every year.

I love this idea and may attempt similar with houses I already have. Thanks for the idea.

Some lovely inspiration on Pinterest. I’m going to go with less is more gingerbread house wise and add other little bits alongside them to make it look more street like. All ideas welcome!
Otherwise I will be bankrupt

I have a whole heap of EB items, especially Christmas things, and haven't had any problems with them. That said, I haven't bought any recently so wonder if they've cut corners on quality but not pricing.

 

[JSquared]

It's very handy. I have a DD setup for like £20 a month so don't hugely notice it and then get my vouchers sent October/November each year.
Shame I can't nudge my referral link but lists my name

I may start that but for next year.
I am struggling not being organised in terms of buying but I have lists what to buy people at least.

I work in a bank and sadly this happens all the time, report to your bank, if a debit card was used they will tell you to wait 15 days incase anything turns up, if a credit card was used it’s 30 days, so I would call them sooner rather than later within that 15 day period

Ohh great thanks it’s just over 15 days I think so I’ll give them a call. It was a debit card and they told me I had to wait 30days but that was before they said they’d refund me and cancelled it

Which Vlogmases do people recommend?

I like Zoe Sugg around (2017 -2019) and Fashion Mumblr (2022)

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.

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!
