christmas

So how many peeps go for real tree's that can be re planted in the garden Or do we all go for fake ones ? We bought a potted one about 10 years ago and it just about got through the first year , so once Christmas was over we planted it in the garden and to our horror it had hardly any if any...

My first non meat eating Christmas and I need to buy (or possibly make if quick and simple) something to go with all the trimmings (excluding stuffing and pigs in blankets). Any suggestions? Cost not a particular consideration. I'm not keen on mushrooms if a dominant flavour and lots of things...

Anyone got anything planned? I'm off to Hokkaido, Japan. My fav part of the planet, except Speyside ^_^

Thurs 24th October, FFS.... Shame on you Heathrow T5 B gates.

first mince pie eaten! Best before date of 20th October.

Oh boy. For once my Christmas involved far more food and alcohol than is safe, and far less cycling or any other exercise than I would like. I hopped on the bike for the first 5 mile commute since mid Dec and really felt the difference. Do people come out of the "party season" in worse or...

How’s it going today? Santa’s been....

Just wondering what CC's favourite Christmas carols are. Do you folks like the traditional, well-known or more obscure? Or carols from other countries? Three of my favourites are: Gaudete Jesus Christ the Apple Tree Patrzcie Bracia Jeno

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a lovely time :cheers: Peace and good health to you and your families.

Someone we know went to visit his Mums grave yesterday and lay a "Christmas wreath". They went again today to find that someone has stolen it. Nice eh :sad:

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope the New Year brings all you wish for.

Myself and the mod team would like to thank you all for your continued support through 2018. :highfive: Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we hope you all have a lovely relaxing festive break. Take care, be safe, and may the wind be always at your...

...I am not a fan of Christmas, but thought I'd make an attempt at being festive for a change. I am growing a Santa Claus beard, even got the grey to make it look authentic :snowball: This is the longest I've ever lasted not shaving, usually got fed up by now ^_^ Anyone else struggle to...

Well, I eventually got my festive hat on. Have fun.

Who'll be out riding on Christmas Day? I might not be able to get out this year, due to family commitments, but will try my best to! Last few years have been esyto sneak out for a few miles, so I can't complain.. Boxing Day should be OK though :bicycle:

I am sure you have all been very good boys and girls this year so you will no doubt be rewarded with a visit from the big man and his bulging sack ... What are you hoping that he will deliver ? As I am going to Merbel for a skiing holiday on the 23rd, for me Christmas has come early in the form...

For at least the past 10 years we have always had real trees, and buy them from our local grower, Maurice Mandry. Generally it's a PITA that takes at least an hour to find one that is the right shape, not too spikey, not too tall, but tall enough, and has to be the right shade of green. By the...

Who's got their christmas avatar up then?

Is there an official Tree Day? Do you have strict rules or family traditions about when to loose the spruce? Do you ever stir the fir before December?

2018!!!!! It is December 28th 2017, 3 days after Christmas, and I have just seen my first TV advert for Christmas 2018! I kid you not. Time to start saving for the next one ... :cursing::wacko:

50 or 100+ years ago when most people weren't very well off financially and there was also a lot less selection in what they could buy for most of the year, the traditional Christmas dinner and all the trimmings and presents was probably something to look forward to as a break in the middle of...

I approached Christmas with a determination to smash the Festive 500 and get loads of miles in over Christmas. Guess what, it didn't happen! A combination of bad weather, enjoying the warmth of the house too much and being busy. I've done about 60 km so far and have just been lazing around over...
