23 days to Christmas!



We made it then, we're finally into Christmas month!!

It's now official, you can now put up your decorations with pride - that's if you haven't already, as it's now December 1st, only a few more weeks to go til the fat man comes hurtling down the chimney!

Over the last couple of months, I've been featuring 50 of the best Christmas songs, and from tomorrow, I'm going to feature 20 Greatest Christmas movies, with plenty of trailers thrown in along the way!

Next, I'm going to try to finish off a sentence without using an exclamation mark!

D'oh!

Right, anyway, welcome to December, and it certainly felt like winter had arrived in the UK today, as it was into the minus temperatures this morning, and it's set to drop to minus 5 degrees celsius overnight tonight, so time to get that De-Icer back out again - it was certainly needed this morning!

So, what has everyone got planned for the next few weeks then, apart from the shopping, where you end up getting covered in cuts & bruises, thanks to all the mad shoppers out there. Will you be relaxing with a glass of mulled wine, or a nice cool beer whilst you bring the festive season in?

It's time to get Christmassy, and open door number one on the advent calendar!

97 days to Christmas!

Another day is chalked off the countdown, so what is behind door number 97 on the specially extended advent calendar today?

Well, in true tradition, it's a yummy piece of chocolate!

I used to love getting advent calendars when I was little, but I think they may have become a little too commercialised now, with virtually every tom, dick, and harry getting their out in the supermarkets come September - yes, over here they appeared on the shelves last week, that's what inspired me to get this blog on the go!

The best advent calendar I remember though, is a recent one, and features a Homer Simpson voice box in it, which is pretty cool, although I do have to admit that Homer is a legend as far as I'm concerned, and I just love watching The Simpsons for his classic lines!

So, for 96 days to go, I would like to champion the Advent Calendar!
