christmas!!!!!!!!!

Lettie....that's a damned good excuse to have a glass of wine.....licking envelopes!
I know what it is you want to post man to get drunk off the fumes.
Your shopping trip sounded like a real blast too......I think you are having too much fun
(Joking of course)
 
Well, the Christmas fun has just started. I have made a half assed attempt to put up the tree. I had to find it first as it was under the stairs in the room that Lettie's hoover forgot. If Kim and Aggie ever peeped under my stairs I would die of shame.:o After almost an hour trying to de-tangle the fairy lights...I swear I put them away tidily last year, they are finally on the tree and by some christmas miracle, they work!!! I've dug out all my tree ornaments and tinsel and chucked them on. I think it looks great..:D I don't have any kind of theme for my tree. Some of my ornaments are years old and made of wood, some are glass and some are modern tat. I think my tree reflects my chaotic lifestyle.

What do your Christmas trees say about you????:D
 
My christmas tree says that size does matter....bought a new one and its 7ft and as you know leccie i'm not so when i stand next to it, it looks like it belongs to Hagrid......
 
When we put ours up I'll take a pic and put it in here.

It's 5ft tall as when we got it we had a much smaller house and it had to go in a space under the stairs.

We have never really got round to changing it, but it stores away very nicely in a wardrobe that we found in our loft when we bought the house!!!
 
My Christmas tree says I can't be bothered with all that business of untangling lights etc. It's a fibre optic colour changing thing with stars and no other decorations whatsoever.

For vorlon - from someone who worked in a glue making factory I was told:

The glue manufacturing process is basically as follows:

gather up bones and hides of dead cows, wash to remove dirt and scrape off any left over meat.
soak in lime water for 60-90 days
wash againto remove hair and lime
neutralize with acid, drain, wash & drain
add water, heat at 110F for 2-4 hours
drain off the dilute glue solution, evaporate to thicken
repeat last 2 steps 3-4 times to extract all of the glue increasing the temperature by 20-25 deg. F each time.
 
well ive finished the pressies part, got the turkey, done the cards got the kids to stick their tounges out while i wiped the envelope across their tounge to solve that one, i just need wrapping paper and lots of it then got to wrap(blagh)
i hate that part need to buy battries then im finished.

I hope you all have a jolly, holly, xmas and a merry new year.
 
Well, after a super human effort I have got some pressies......wrapped and tagged them.......still need to get some for the men of the family and for my daughter...so not all finished but a whole lot nearer......I have located the base of the Christmas tree......that had gone missing since I used it last year......may put up the tree sometime this weekend. I think I might just make it!
 
My shopping is done, tree is up, I have only 4 pressies left to wrap (out of about 25) The cards are written and some of them sent. In fact, I think I've sent my mate two. I posted some last week and couldn't remember who I'd sent them out to. I really should start making lists, my memory is shocking.:D
 
the tree is up , some pressies wrapped, most shopping done, but alas (hanging my head in shame ) no cards sent, i must do it but im not in the mood .
 
Tree is up...some cards are written and the ones that need posting have gone except my best mate Tracie but thats her fault I'm still waiting for her new address....got most pressies none are wrapped so I might just buy a bag for everyone and be done with it
