Christmas 2022

Anyone completed it yet :eyes::rofl:

Normally by now I’m pretty much finished, I’ve not bought a single thing yet :face_with_monocle: need to crack on before it just arrives without notice.

I tell a lie, cake and pudding cooked in January, but that’s my limit.

We are holding out cuz who knows what :poop: is gonna fly before then.

Having purchased an air fryer recently which we said we would split as early Xmas, it leaves little for the day :joy: so probably not much to get other than food.

More than 2 weeks i assume so you can’t pick a past transaction?

We were looking for a dog bed for ours but he sleeps wherever he fancies on the floor. We had the below on our list, because if their chicken coops are anything to go by, they’ll be long lasting, well engineered and great quality.

Not only will it match but it’s risen from the floor and free from draughts.

I’ve done some, awaiting BF deals and then will get the rest.

So a funny thing happened.

The tree is now up. :christmas_tree:

I blame other half for saying “let’s get it out the garage and air it out a bit”.

The cats are already waiting to strike.

I’m with you. It’s generally a week or so before Christmas :rofl: but here we are.

I’m sure I’ll adapt :sweat_smile:

I’ve been persuaded (read: overruled) so we’re getting a real tree this year, but also apparently need to use the artificial trees that we have too.

Welcome to Christmasland by the looks of it!

Not even entertained the thought. It’s been too warm :christmas_tree::sunny:

Ours went up on Saturday. The kids absolutely love it.

My wife and kids put tree up last week when I was at work. Walked home to a winter wonderland. I love it as much as they do.

The weekend nearest to the 1st of December for us. Any sooner and it’s wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

~4 weeks is plenty of time, by which point I’m fed up of it all and keen to take it all down to have space around the house again.

Zero purchases made for Christmas - like @Revels I’m waiting to see how the BF deals look especially with the CoL crisis I’m wondering how much will be on offer.

Only thing I am in the process of sorting is a Secret Santa for girlfriend’s bro in law. He loves Killie Pies so I’m trying to get him a tour of the factory :thinking: Alternatively he is being bought £40 worth of them :pie:

I’m nearly done with the shopping :raised_hands: just need to go see what empty hampers are about to put the stuff in. Then depending on what size they are, maybe a few top up items.

A lot of things “accidentally” fell into my amazon basket so that’s me sorted for the year. Feels quite good tbh to have sorted it.

No doubt I’ll end up buying a few small things here and there.

Regarding the tree, it’s still in its box. Maybe I’ll put it up around mid December.

I saw this on a BBC article earlier today, kind of makes you think and puts things into perspective.
