Xmas Decorations Up Yet ?
I usually wait until the week before Xmas, to put my tree and decorations up.
But this year I plan to put them up a week today...ie the 1st of December, and am now looking forward to that like an excited school boy !
I live alone and I am now of the opinion that you have to make an extra effort at this time of year, otherwise what is special about Yuletide ?

I've got four very good reasons why there's no point in putting up decorations in my house. (They're called Tablo, Moonbeam, Biscuit and Chequers). This gives you an idea of the type of thing I'm thinking of ;-)

I know exactly what you mean, mikey......fond memories of Christmas's past, with our kids and with my Mum and Dad and family also....opening our presents really early in the morning and being so happy with Ker Plunk, Action Man, Crossfire, Arnold Palmer's Pro Shot Golf, and Barbie, Sindy or a dollshouse for our sisters.
Now it's all designer clothes or shoes, PS4 or XBox one gear, or iPhones, Laptops, Tablets, TV's etc.....
Roll back the years, mikey and get a time tunnel device, and I'll comeback with you and do it all over again :-)

Now your talking, mikey....loved my Scalextric set so much and I got mine at about that age too.
I remember also getting Meccano set and Tracy Island, small western figures from The High Chaparral, Spindrift spaceship from The Land Of The Giants, the Seaview sub, which was massive, from Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea! Great memories.

no effin' way. Today is Thanksgiving, tomorrow is the day of Feminine Capitalism - allow for the w/end and set-up, the stores then can go into Christmas mode - but let's allow for the traditional cycle of Advent/Christmas/Epiphany - too many people pull the Christmas trigger and, correspondingly, take the decs down too early - 12 nights = Jan 6th.
No Bertrum, and thanks for asking. I go to my brothers on Xmas Day where I get the full works...Roast Turkey, with roast parsnips ( even though I am the only one who likes them ! )
Proper Xmas Pud and custard, and a huge Stilton !
Looking forward to it as I type !
Yogi....you mentioned the "Spindrift" from "Land of the Giants" earlier this evening.
Did you know that the complete series are being shown on Horror Channel at the moment, although they are nearly at the end of the transmissions now ?
Pure nostalgia !

Mikey,
First of all, I am really happy you are not alone at Christmas, and sounds brilliant to enjoy yourself at your brothers on Christmas Day. :-)
Land Of The Giants:--No way!....on Horror Channel too.....checked TV guide and on at Midday and again at 8:00pm....it is pure nostalgia and used to love it as a child.
I'm a big fan of Irwin Allen stuff and have ALL his TV series on DVD including the two series of LOTG, all four series of Voyage to the bottom of the sea , All 30 episodes of The Time Tunnel and all three series of Lost in Space. Pride of place in my DVD collection which also includes The Prisoner, Minder, Only Fools, and Thunderbirds.
