What a great idea :) I do love Christmas.....I adore shopping for pressies and then wrapping them up nicely. I've got a bunch of birthdays coming up soon though....all of my friends seem to have birthdays in October, so once those are out of the way I can concentrate on Christmas shopping :D

I dont have to do much christmas shopping this year, which is cool. I'll only buy for friends I know I'm going to see and I know what I'll get them. See here!

SJ - you got anything special planned for your little one?

I love christmas big grin

this year getting the prezzie thing out of the way early.... my fav second hand shop has a list of pre-owned stuff im after i.e box sets of charmed (50 quid is stupid) and pre-owned games...

Ive left a list with my fav game shop who have a Nintendo DS waiting for me for 50 quid and pre-owned games.... im bashing on in the sales in clothes and shoe shops and looking in the paper ads for big things like bunkbeds the kids are after (will buy new matteresses of course)...

Im lucky that the kids don't give a toss about things being brand new for expensive stuff... although they will be getting new pc's each. (we get them built for a fraction of the price of these big stores).

Then with that out of the way in comes the fun stuff like trips out to see the lights in sunderland and pantos.. because theres no stress of the present buying... the next one is the circus on Newcastles town moore... big grin

A couple of weeks before the day I make a proper xmas dinner with all the trimmings, make everything all christmassy and have a belta day with the kids as on the actual day its family hopping and a curry for dinner :)

I love christmas big grin

This year Connah and I are going to make our tree decorations! Which, sad as this may sound, I am REALLY looking forward to. And we are also going to be making cookies and cakes and watching old movies...santa clause the movie is one I REALLY want him to see.

Going up to wallasey on christmas eve eve! To see his grandparents, and then home where he can watch ALL those luvly DVDs and play with his hornby train set and remote control cars, while I plaster his face in all the yummy new make up I will be getting!
