I like Christmas, but more for the time off and nommy fud than anything else. I don't like the decorations going up too early. 14 days before and 14 days after for me, but I can understand and tolerate it when people put them up in early December. When I was walking to work this morning I noticed someone had a tree and decorations up in their window already. It's the 4th November for pity's sake, I wanted to smack them upside the head for being so ridiculous.

Well Christmas meal is on the 5th of December all ready decided on main course and dessert.

roast venison haunch and port sauce followed by an Italian dessert Zuppa Inglese which is going to be slightly changed to become more christmasy. With rum included and Christmas cake ice cream on the side.

Got two presents sorted.
Going to get some dara o'brian tickets
and going to get a family history site subscription for my mum.
No idea what to get anyone else yet.

I do however know the Xmas day plan, as we are going to a nearby hotel for Xmas dinner, mmm.

Tree will go up later than I want

I think it will come down early too, usually comes down 1st Jan but I might take it down before NYE if people are coing over. It's huge and we might need the space

I'm not ready for Christmas to be upon us yet as it's only November, but I did buy Good Food this week which has loads of gorgeous Christmas recipes in it. Yum!

I usually cook the whole family (8 of us) a meal on Christmas Eve round our house. Not going to be happening this year though because the lounge will be in a state of even more chaos than usual. I'm still cooking it though, but it'll be at Mum's. Might do it the weekend before because cooking a 3 course meal for 8 after working all day isn't my idea of fun really.

Anyway our tree usually goes up during the 1st/2nd week of December, or whenever my parents take the trip to Cannock Chase to fetch it. It makes the whole room smell of pine, which I love. It will come down before Twelfth Night.

I've not even thought about presents yet *sticks fingers in ears* LALALALALALALA

I buy most of my puter equipment from Scan

but for ease of returns I'd say the purple shop might be a good shout.
