Who's getting all Oooh Crimbo is coming :whoop: ?

and who's all Bah Humbug ! ?

I can be sat on the fence and say Yay for Christmas Bah Humbug?

althought the advent crown, wow that's a blast from the past! Please someone say they still do that, it wouldn't be Xmas without that...

What 2 things say to you that Xmas is here? for me it's the Coke (other soft drinks are available ) advert with the lorry and hearing Slade screaming out from every shop doorway... Ok, the 2nd one has you reaching for a gun by the 4th shop, but still......

At the moment i'm on count down til the bloody pikeys opposite turn on all their christmas decorations but for me the main thing that tells me christmas is here is the reminder from the control room for the boys and girls to 'remember to submit your breath test results before book off please' that and christopher starting on his christmas list!

never got round to doing the blue peter advent candle coat hanger thingy
but i did make thunderbirds tracy island
which finished up looking like it had been nuked
