What did you do today that was Christmassy?

[shambaby]

Sorry if someone has already started this and I have missed it, but I remember a thread from last year with this title, and I really enjoyed reading about what everyone had been up to, so thought I'd start one this year.

So, today I looked through the boots gift guide with my little munchkins (gift guide may not have survived that one intact!), I have worked a little on my crochet wreath, and I have booked tickets for me and my 4 year old to a 'pyjamas and blankets' screening of the Polar Express at a local cinema, including a visit with Santa! Trying not to get too excited, as it is entirely possible I will have to work and Daddy will have to take him instead, but it will be his first cinema trip, and I'm sure he will love it, and I so want to go!

So what did you do today?

I browsed through the Avon book looking for presents. And as soon as ds4 is asleep I'm going to update my lists.

I've just ordered our new christmas tree! Will be taking a look at some decorations and ordering baubles for the kids to decorate in december too. Love the 'bers when its not frowned upon by less organised people to get ready for a brill christmas!

Not a lot today so far having work done on the house so it is taking my spirit away, although it will look good for Christmas

Oh I loved this thread last year!

So far today I've browsed online for Christmassy goodies, continued crocheting a little wooly cardigan for OH's mum-to-be friend (which isn't for Christmas but it's wintery!), and booked tickets for a Christmas singalong concert the week before Christmas excited!!

I had a mooch around the Yankee candle store looking at all the Christmas candles

I went into the Yankee candle shop and smelt all the Christmas candles. I left disappointed, none of them smelt like christmas to me

I made a couple of Xmas shaped crayons for the boys Christmas Eve bags only a few though as I was short on crayons and am currently making a crayon selection box for DS2's birthday next month.
We also decorated our first batch of clay tree decorations I cut out a few days ago. I'm on the ball this year as DH's family have moved abroad to America and Canada so we are having to send things in advance. xx

I know, it's fab! When I was growing up it was the only cinema in town, an independent one, until an odeon opened and basically put them out of business. Part of the cinema was turned into a Weatherspoons, but the rest was just left as it was. Then, a few years ago, a group of people started renovating it. It's still not quite finished, but for a while now they have been putting on special events and showings to raise money for the renovations. They don't have the latest films, but they have lots of cool things - recently there was a Rocky Horror show event, and next year they have a Dirty Dancing sing / dance along one! This will be my first time back there since my mid teens, can't wait! I will admit to being a bit unsure about going out in mmy pyjamas at 10 am, though! They don't have their own car park so there will be a little bit of a walk to get there!

I was going to book this for my DD but it sold out. I think I might live in the same area as you
