What are your plans for Xmas this year?

Personally I love Xmas. It's my fave time of year Santa tone1 Christmas tree I love the music, spending time with family; my little sister still gets soo excited Blush and I love watching the Xmas movies. Everything just feels so amazing this time of year for me. 

The downside for me is how busy the shops get, the pushing and shoving of other people, the overbearing loud music. If I could stay in my house all through December I would! Sweat smile Going out this time of year feels like being in the middle of a riot. Last year I got shoved so hard I fell and sprained my wrist. I wish people wouldn't go so OTT in the shops.

This year I'll be having a quiet Xmas with my family. We'll watch Xmas movies on Xmas Eve, my little sister will wake me super early on the 25th as usual lol and I still need to finish my shopping. Buying gifts is my fave part, I really think hard about what people will want and enjoy. It's like a challenge and I love it!

What are your own plans?

  • A Christmas thread, and I found myself on moderation (if this ever happens to you,  , do not take it personally. The spam filters are like irrational bouncers on a popular nightclub door)

    I love Christmas. It also makes me sad. I love all the tinsel and lights and wish that I liked the noise (but don't)

    We are spending it with my sister-in-law, our niece and our step dog. I have a room to escape to, when things get too much.

  • I was moderated with this thread and my (hi) thread yesterday. I don't think they appeared until a bit later but according to the community manager it should be ok now.

    Have you got any noise cancelling headphones? I own two sets, find them an absolute godsend this time of year. When I'm in the shops I wear my headphones and listen to music or podcasts to help me tune out of the surrounding noises.

    I hope you and your family enjoy your Xmas hope its a peaceful one for you all Christmas tree
