[Tasha]

Hiya,

I am Tasha, twenty-eight years old and married to Matt. We have Morgan he is nine, Naomi-Mae is eight tomorrow, Honey was born sleeping at 36+6 in May 2007, Kaysie Blossom is five and Riley Rae was born sleeping at 24+3 in April 2011.

I wasn't about as much in the Grotto last year but am obsessed with Christmas. August 2011 Harvey's Mummy encouraged me to put my tree up, so I did and it stayed until the following August (two weeks off a year) and only then did it come down cos of my hubby

From Monday I can get in proper Christmas mode as all my babies birthdays are done

 

[JessdueJan]

Oh my days Tasha, as if your tree was up tht long my hubby would have gone mad long before then but he isnt overly festive

 

[youngmamttc]

My hubbys catching the bug this year! He's never been festive but im turning him xx

 

[JessdueJan]

I Officially started my shopping today
Coincidentally it the weekend DH is away so can't tell me to wait

Bought a few cheap kids DVDs and a 4 in 1 sports station for Lucas tht was reduced in Tesco! I love Tesco for toy bargains x

[JessdueJan]

As looking for inspiration for these too!

I'm thinking a little hot chocolate sachet and some mini marshmallows for the top, new pjs, a book and christmas DVD. Pack of sweets or popcorn...is that about all you put in?

Obviously for DS2 that list will be revised x

I have never done a Christmas Eve bags before do you think it matters if I start this year or should I not?

Never too late to start

 

[Harveysmum369]

If any of your other halves drink I'm getting Dean a bottle from here

https://www.therealaleshop.co.uk/norfolk/

I don't know if they do individual bottles through the post,but I'm sure they would

 

[Sun_Flower]

I'll put in Christmas pyjamas (she had three pairs last year, ) a new dressing gown, hot chocolate, a Christmas story book, the key for Santa to get in the door, reindeer food, and possibly some cutters to make Christmas cookies, not sure yet. She'll only just be 2 so it's probably overkill, but hey ho, I'm all about creating traditions darn it!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Ooh and I'm not sure if its already been mentioned but where was it that did the Christmas bedding last year, was it Next? I really hope I can find some for a toddler duvet because that would be amazing...

 

[youngmamttc]
