    I've got the odd bits mate .
    Nearly got a new tree but already put 3 up each year so thought I'd leave it til next .
    I bought a nice Xmas shop that lights up and some nice candle displays .
    Spent more in all of the cafes to be fair I might as well just bought a tree:emoticon-0110-tongu:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I like it. Sounds as though you had a thoroughly decent time. I'm planning on visiting a couple of garden centres this weekend. I'll let you know how I get on with regard to purchases, cafes etc.

    Great stuff :emoticon-0148-yes:.
    I'm gonna get my main tree out in a couple of weeks and decide wether to upgrade .
    I've seen some really nice snow and frost covered Pine and Spruce ones .
    One of the garden centres had that many we couldn't decide so retreated to the coffee shop for a Nice pot of Yorkshire Gold tea and Raspberry Almond cake !
    Luckily there's still some more to visit in the coming weeks :emoticon-0110-tongu

    An upgrade is always a special happening, and I'm sure we all want to know what you decide on, so please provide updates as you move forward. An insight into colour schemes and baubles would be most welcome.

    The raspberry and almond cake sounds delicious. :rolleyes:

    I can't stand it when people call Santa Claus Kris Kringle. Yuck!

    Father Christmas and St Nicholas are more than fine.

    How are you excellent guys doing today?

    I've just been to Sainsbury's for some bits. All rather boring, to be honest.
