Who's Santa this year?

You and Mrs Stan got matching jumpers?

Do you go Carol singing and attend Christmas Mass?

Santa is Santa, fam. He exists.

Let no one tell you otherwise. At least until the time the kids have become (even more) cynical anyway.

December in five minutes, the festive season is right here.

<ok>
 
We keep it quite stylish...if that's possible. White lights only, no garish multi coloured Santa lights.

I'm a big kid when it comes to Christmas as I get a proper kick out of seeing the Mini Stans excited about it.

I spend ages doing their Portable North Pole messages from Santa!

My missus is the same ... white lights and 'white' / opaque decorations only ... does look fookin awesome ... been a family tradition that each year the girls are allowed to choose a new bauble ... we have quite a few garden centres around us and so we go around them all on the annual bauble hunt this time of year ,,, the build up is arguably way better than the day itself .... the total foody pig-out aside...
 
Bit early yet for the tree for us. Did consider this Sunday but are going for next weekend instead.

Two weeks with it prior to Christmas then take it down on the 2nd probably, three weeks plenty to have it in the house.

Wow...you let them choose one bauble?
