That is seriously horrible. Sorry...

I didn't like to say anything, but you are right. I would certainly like to hear Mrs Reuben's views on it - whatever it is.

My favorite thing is going shopping and picking up all sorts of cool stuff

I have a husband to stop me doing that, was very close to buying a dragon plushy

Really different this year.. our daughter wants to put on xmas lunch. I've done it for 40+ years.
BUT I will supply and cook pickled pork a leg of lamb and new potatoes .
I agreed under sufferance. Shes a very good cook but she will crack under pressure. Cooking for 11.
I'm pretty certain it will.be my turn next year??

Negative thinking, mate, negative thinking. Gotta pass on the knowledge to the younger generation
My youngest son pestered me to teach him how to make roast potatoes. His are now better than mine.
(Mind you, he hasn't got a clue how to make sprouts or carrots!)

It's this which annoys me
Lisa; harry do you want new potatoes, harry do you want pumpkin, harry do you want roast carrots and on and on and on with the 3 youngest.
Food will be cold.
Shes a teacher so takes over.

I have had acouple of ropey christmas dinners over the years, but you just have to suck it up and be grateful. They volunteered to do the biggest meal of the year and no doubt put everything they could into it, so you smile and say thank you.

Nice display, but the years pass by so fast that I feel that it should still be June. I did buy my first Xmas gift for a friend this past Saturday - a couple pairs of chicken-themed potholders since we both raise chickens.

Last year, DH & I made up two 'Secret Santa' gift bags for elders in our community and we plan on doing this again, maybe even three if I get my way
I saw this idea on FB and Pinterest and thought ...

How stinkin' adorable is this?
It's all from Dollar Tree and some of the components have several multiples, so I could make alot more in the future...

I really want the New Year! That little reindeer is just too cute!

Another idea I saw on social media ...

A salvaged tin can, 3 boxes of Dollar Tree Candy Canes, and the rest from my craft-stash.
Cost me all of $3.75USD
This is for my Mom's apartment as a center piece on her table.
Not perfect like I would have liked but still, how dang cute is that, I mean, COME ON MAN!!!

Oh, forgot one more craft I did today for Christmas

Cost me nothing! All components from my craft-stash.
This little guy will go over to Mom's too.
