I bought all mine the week after Christmas, as that's when they're remaindered at about a quarter of the price. The Christmas spirit runs deep in me.

[mrs_overall]

I don't have the Christmas spirit deep in me - I am from Yorkshire

[Bobbisox]

me too jno, whether or not bought in the sale or otherwise, it is one of the times when we , as a Christian country, enjoy our time and that is no slur at another culture but Christmas is one of the last things we have and can celebrate

[boxtops]

The Christmas spirit is only as deep as my purse - sometimes the stamps cost more than the cards ;-)

[LoftyLottie]

Bah Humbug. I don't buy cards any more (except for a couple to elderly aunties) and only buy presents for very close family. I don't even say they 'C' word until after 1st December. We have a really nice meal and share the day with family and that's it. No mince pies, christmas cake or christmas pud. we don't like them. No Turkey! Just I nice big rib of beef and all the trimmings (no Christmas crackers either). And I now enjoy Christmas. Before I made the decision to almost ignore it, I used to get stressed out!!

[mrs_overall]

Butch, I did them using the cling film method for brekkie yesterday. They fell apart, so I'll stick to my swirly water method.
White or granary toast for you?

[Bobbisox]

I love everything about it, even the stress bit..lol
But I going away on the 23rd anyway
