ff that sounds so cool, im a bit hrmm as i dont know whats happening i guess christmas will be my pregnancy safe zone for us so i think it could be a double celerbration. I am so dreading putting my tree up for christmas as its SOO HUGE. Looks good in end but to big sometimes when ur doing most of the work. Might cut the decorations down by half this year as we have hundreds as ill be around 25 weeks preggers.
im so excited about chrissy.
being due on the 25th is fun.
we are doing it at our house and we are doing bring a plate and i will sort out the main roast or ham and salads. :D
DD will be 28 months so will have a better understanding
and i love our tree
we have a black tree lol which we decorate with green pink and white the kids chose a colour each so next year a new colour will be added for our new baby :D
kawa what an awesome chrissy present hehe!
Everytime i read this thread i get so excited hehe, cant wait!! We'll have to add to our light collection for the house! :dance:
Funkeefrog your DD will love getting to celebrate two Christmases - my family is Russian so we always had Christmas on 7 January as well (you get to leave the tree up for AGES!)
I am planning my Christmas quite extensively (yes I am a Chrissy tragic LOL) I am planning my menu, have organised place mats, bought new glasses, worked out what decorations will go where and I have been "prepping" my 3 year old all year so he won't be scared to sit on Santa's knee (dunno bout the 20 month old though - I do expect there will be tears!)
Less than 4 months to go girls!!
actually 115 days :D
how exciting. i am hoping DD will sit on santas knee this year was a bit of a struggles last year
I was talking to my mum today and she said that she is going to make DD a christmas dress! She used to make me and my sister a christmas dress every year and they were so cute. DD is going to look gorgeous in frills and bows and christmas themed material :D
DD has three Christmas cloth nappies. two of them have matching singlets. i'm thinking of getting something spesh for some Christmas photos - but given how pukey she is, i'm not thinking of anything too fancy - maybe i need some purddy Christmas bibs lol
ordered the stuff i want Candle wise - well, holder wise - still lots of candles to get - can't go past chocolate mint candles - kinda like candy cane fudge i imagine - smell DIVINE.
i today went to priceline and got 3x 5meter roll of christmas paper warp for 2 dollars:) i picked gold so i could use it for birthdays too and ive started making decorations:) all cheap type things.
we will be putting tree up next fortnight i believe
I was bad today :) I bought two Christmas tree ornaments for my mantlepiece (they were 50% off, but still I paid a bit for them!) and a gorgeous satin bauble garland for my kitchen.
Then I was good and bought a candle holder and set of reindeer antlers for Flynn from the op shop!
I have bought all my kids christmas presents (and quite a few birthday pressies as well) though I still need to get a book for one girl in my mothers' group.
Squidipa like yo I found some bargain Christmas wrap too!!
I've picked out what I am buying my parents and bought my BIL/SIL's present. And I found mum's mothers' day present.
I'm doing the Houseworks Holiday Plan (google it if interested) so I am feeling really up to date - I am about to start writing and adressing my Chirstmas cards!!
ds had 4 dollars pocket money and they had a reduced sale on shower gel and bath fizzers for 1 dollar so he spent his money on 4 gufts :) felt so proud!!!:
dd is saving pocket money to but ds the electric guitar pendant in the shop :)
i think i'm officially nuts
i've been sitting here for most of today (and all of yesterday while BB was offline) trying to work out what decorations to put where this year....
too hard! someone come do it for me! lol
can someone put my tree up plz its only 6.5 foot hehe takes ALL day with decorating too:
our tree is about 8 foot (touches the ceiling) and feels like it's just as wide. the last two years it's been a two day job - first year i was going through a stim cycle, last year i was pg. this year i have DD - i don't think it will be over in a day this time either!:
some of my decorations have to have the fairy lights plugged into them so it takes longer to do as well.
i think i've decided on table centrepieces for Christmas Day - just not sure - so hard to decide!
i have a steam train that will go on table there is not that much room on our table with about 13 choices of food lol. Last year i didn't out all the deco's up to lazy this year will be worse ill be preggers HOT tired and buggered lol. We will be making more felt decorations tho and i have some glow in the dark cherubs i recently got :):
so whats ya centerpiece gonna be?
i have a candle holder that spins when the candles are lit - the heat from the candles makes the angels fly through the trees. i'm going to have two or three of them, with pillar candles (that smell like peppermint chocolate) in between them. we have our food on another table so that eating isn't too crowded ! lol
our train is a big one that goes around the base of the tree
I am swithering what to do this year as thought of puting tree up when so big and worse still taking down is not at all appealing!!!
I am due around time trees need to be taken down.
I cant wait till DS a bit older and then I can get a train set for under tree as DH has stopped me buying once and I really really want one!!!!!
Oh that sounds lovely BG no candles here with the kids lol that's why we have the food on table or else i have to get up and down and up and down lol
we have candlews every year even with bro's kids
never a drama
feeb, make dh do it. your ds will be into christmas this year
