Ooooh I can't wait to put our train up too, we got it on sale last year but it looked so dodgy as we had a very, very small tee.....just looked weird. We've always had a small optic fibre tree, but this year we are getting a BIG one with lots of decs & putting the train under it. Charlie loves it, he pulls the box out from under the spare bed any chance he gets!

My DF refuses to discuss christmas plans as he says it is too early. Id love to have christmas lunch at our place this year as I know I have it off (Im a nurse so often have to work christmas). My family normally make plans early and whave not had christams lunch with df parents yet(its been 5 years) and they live a 3min walk from us. If his parents want to do lunch this year I think I will have to agree, although his mums not much of a cook they have a sign in the kitchen that says 'dinners ready when the smoke alarm sounds' lol.
I have started a list of pressie ideas because family ask for ideas and I have no idea, Im also hoping having a list will stop me going overboard!
For those with bubs under 1 I found buying toys that might not be age appropriate at christamas was good becuase every few months I'd get a new toy out the cupboard. I also love to get kids books, I am now buying kids a $5 book instead of a card for birthdays.
My poor dd's ia not going to be getting too much in the way of toys this year as we have way to many as it is, and mum keeps telling me to save the money for when they are older and ask for something. We will see if I can restrain myself.

We did the inlaws last year and they were all hung over from the night before...NEVER again. We ended up having maccas for christmas dinner because no one was organised! I was so annoyed.

I could have written same post!!!!! ILS have never seen chrissy as a big deal just a meal with family and never buy presents. Where as my family is the oppositte!!!!! christmas is a big affair with OTT of preessies and food.
