How early for Christmas decorations?

Sorry, you must make sure you keep the quote and bracket thingy at the beginning and end of the quote. It's only the text inside that you can delete but just make sure you leave the beginning and the end brackets,quote and name. Does that make sense? When you've finished your post you can always press the 'preview' button under the post just to check if it has been done right.

I don't know why I'm helping here as it's always me that needs help and Malky must be when he sees I'm giving technical advice!

Thank you
Now, bear with me....plz look at my last response to you (in this thread), where's the pretty little box/frame that should be around it? I clicked 'Quote' & when my reply box came up I deleted what I didn't want to quote but as you can see from my resulting post, it didn't do right

Hi LL

Make sure each quote starts with

To quote someone make sure it starts

Aye, I was aware there was ambiguity, SCD, I jumped in forgetting I was sure to talk keech!! But at least a knight in shining armour stepped in to help her!

My eldest kind of knows the truth about Santa, but my youngest still believes.I have always told him that the children who believe that Santa is real ,then Santa is real to them. I remember when I was wee-must've been about 7 or 8, I was positive that I heard sleigh bells outside my window. I totally believed in all the magic
I remember when one of my niece's were in p7 when their TEACHER spoke about Santa not being real. My niece was gutted. She came home all upset because she really still believed in him. My sister phoned the school to complain, as she felt that the teacher took away that wee bit of innocence that my niece still had.
Usually as a rule in our house the decorations go up the same day as the big switch on of the town lights, but if I had my way I would have them up all year round-I totally love Christmas tree's and decorations.

oh, wow!! I have the same story!! Christmas eve, I was about 5 I would guess & only able to doze here & there because I was SO excited & I swear I heard the jingle of bells outside my window!!!!!! I was wide-eyed after that, waiting to see if I could hear Santa sneak in to our house & imagining his sleigh flying over. I don't think I slept at all the rest of the night!!! I remember so vividly how I felt
I never found out (never asked!) if it was my parent's doing or not. I wouldn't be surprised because they were VERY good at creating the fairy tale for us, every year doing something different & awe inspiring


Oh, & SHAME on that teacher WHAT was she THINKING??!!! I would've been all over her for it, too.

Why go to the bother of taking down xmas decorations at all ?

Just leave them up all year, and save yourself some time next August

Don't remember ever hearing Santa - apart from "him" opening a squeaky drinks cabinet we had when I was wee - you know the kind that spun round to reveal the bottles!! He drunk sherry in those days GG!
I DID HOWEVER see the tooth fairy once and every time K loses a tooth I have to tell her about it!! I was only wee and there was absolutely no wine involved

[Govangirl]

I know people won't believe me and will think I'm a bit weird ( as if they hadn't by now) but I can distinctly remember seeing Santa put the things in the stockings at the fireplace. I must have been about 4 or 5 but I absolutely know I saw him and I have never, ever forgotten it. In fact, I think about it regularly and not just at Christmas.

Of course, I suspect that it must have been a dream but I swear I've never had one as vivid.

A bit like me with the tooth fairy only it wasn't a dream as I was at a birthday party at the time - but very clear and vivid memories of where when etc!! Maybe i dreamt about the party not long after being at it??? Who knows!!

Back to Christmas though - I have to have my yearly fix of Miracle on 34th Street!!

When my lads were young,I would draw reindeer hoof marks with charcoal in the back yard Christmas Eve and then show them on Christmas Morning.I will never forget the look of absolute amazement.

[£3.73]

is that amazement at the reindeer hoof marks ...

... or perhaps they'd seen you in the dead night before, down on all fours, drawing them ??? lol

I was just offered 8 legs of venison for £60?? Does anyone agree that's too dear?

I fear that I may have had a dram or seven.
