    Oh yippie Christmas! Only 19 days away! Ahhhh omg I'm so excited!!! :D

    OK sorry about that, i'm done my squealing. :rolleyes:

    I love Jingle Bells! Honestly I'm surprised I haven't grown tired of it. Speaking of Chistmas songs, has anyone ever heard the song, Christmas Shoes?

    Christmas sucks.

    I only tolerate it nowadays because I just cannot wait for the stuffing which is a rare treat! :D And yorkshire puddings. And apple sauce. Oh, parnips too. Oh brussel sprouts..erm..yup. :p


    Anyone hate the christmas pudding? I HATE IT! It stinks so bad that it makes me want to choke. :rolleyes: Mince Pies...never saw the big hype about them!

    I've heard it on the radio quite a few times & whenever I do I cry a little bit. The ending of it always gets to me. Another sad Christmas song is River, but only the Joni Mitchell version.

    The Christmas Shoes has been out for a couple of years now and ever time it plays it still makes me realize how lucky my family and I are. It also brings a thought for those that aren't so fortunate.

    Boxing Day for us is a day of rest and cleaning up from Christmas day dinner. We usually have dinner with my in-laws on Boxing Day.

    Btw I love minced tarts. I only eat them at Christmas though. :)

    Oh, I am getting a little more in the Christmas spirit now, I need to, as I need to be at work in 2 hours for the start of our Christmas party and secret santa, so I even get to open my first present today!! :p

    The best thing about Christmas is the food. I wish I could have Christmas pudding all year round, my husbands grandmother makes them, and they are the best! I also love mince pies (I imagine it is the same as your mince tarts Jacquie ). But I can't bear Christmas cake with nasty icing on it...urghh.

    My favourite Christmas song is Fairytale in New York, by the Pogues. Although I haven't even heard it yet this year. :confused:

    Here in England most sales do start on Boxing Day, but the most popular sale has to be the Next sale, which starts on the 27th or 28th at 5am. People queue all night just to go in a grab ridiculous amounts of clothes. Madness! I hate sales, I never find anything I want and it is always really busy. :rolleyes:

    My mom used to make a great Christmas cake with no icing. She hasn't made it years. The recipe would make 3 different size cakes and they would take most of a Sunday to mix and bake. They were worth it though. The mince tarts I cheat on and I buy them. My father-in-law and I are the only ones that like them so there is no point in making alot that will go to my waist. I do make shortbread and I usually so that the week before Christmas so there is some left for Christmas. Another weakness of my.

    So, Finland is the same as Denmark? I thought it might be. My sister-in-law is married to a Dane and even though they live here in the UK, they have Christmas dinner and presents on Christmas Eve. What's the significance of the 24th being the most important day in Nordic (not Scandinavian :p) countries Ducky? Just curious, as I've never thought to ask before. :)
