Christmas 2013 Thread!

Does anyone think this is a good idea...?

This year we have all the kids with us on christmas eve to christmas day pm, so I was hoping to do the christmas box on christmas eve (pinched idea from here, thank you lovely ladies), however as there are 5 of them do you think one BIG box with all pj's in and a film and books etc would be ok? I would label up everyone's things all fancy but I just thought what on earth could I put in individual boxes, we can't watch 5 films!! Plus the oldest is nearly 15 and not sure how much he would get into it! I was just gonna buy him some novelty socks and chocolate etc?

I think that is perfect!

Christmas is all about sharing and being with those you love after all.

We'll def nick this idea if we have another kiddy

As it's just James and he won't really understand I am not sure we'll do the actual box this year but his PJ's are on order and I've ordered a lovely Crimbo book too.

xxxxxxx

Oh good glad it seems ok.

You've probably already said but which pj's are gonna be for christmas eve? I have yet to decide!x

I got my PJ's from Next http://www.next.co.uk/g492592s2 and he'll have them on Crimbo Eve.

But I found these at my Mum's (belong to one of my nephews) so these can be for Crimbo night....

I made a start on my Christmas food shop at the weekend - I use Waitrose online and reserved my delivery slot for Mon 23rd Dec Very convenient and I can just log in whenever I want and add bits in / take them out...made me feel very festive!!

Going out on Saturday to get Christmas cards and selection boxes for all the LO's we buy for - and some bows / ribbons etc so I can start to wrap the pressies I have bought already.

9 weeks and 6 days to go!!!! xxx

Waitrose is a minimum spend of £90 for an Xmas slot!

I mean it's easy enough to spend £90 but as I am currently off work I like to shop about and get bits from all over. Although shopping the Monday before Christmas does me feel a little quesy!

I still need to get all our party food (do that from M&S a few days before), all our dips and cheeses. Plus our cheese biscuits and our biscuit selection tin. Plus booze and satsumas and all our dried fruit. We don't do Crimbo pud but we do get a yule log.

Of course I need all the essentials too.

I'll venture out on 27th for turkey crown and roast dinner bits and do our family dinner on 28th!

Man, I love Christmas food!

Hey Carnat, the minimum spend to book your slot is £50 this year xx

Scroll down to the bit about Christmas returns. So providing all tags are left on you should have until mid-Jan!

I'm normally pretty good, but that sounds super-organised! Wow. Think I need to get my skates on and buy a few cards or something. Got my present list done and bought the first prezzies in May but haven't done anything since and wedding fever is taking over now! Eeek!

Ohh I went in a shop today near me with collectible bears starting at £30+ they are gorgeous. Gonna get him one for his birthday and Xmas every year. If he gets old enough and doesn't want to collect them he could always donate them to his old ma lol xxx
