Plannning for Christmas

Marianne72

I like planning everything to keep from boredom or excessive negative thinking, as I live alone.  Last year I bought a half-price Tesco Christmas tree with roots (newly in - so I don't know why they half-priced them, at £12). I'm happy to say the tree has put on 25mm (1" in old money). I water it regularly, feed occasionally with bonsai food. It looks great with ferns and primula in a damp part of the garden. I planted it out in a new air pruner pot (www.futuregarden.co.uk/air-pot-air-pruning-plant-pots ) . I'inside a grey container. I'll bring it indoors a couple of days before Christmas. It will need a slightly larger pot than the red plastic it came in. I would love to hear any tips for enjoying Christmas. I like to keep mine going until Candlemas (2 Feb) because you get treats for longer that way :-)

    Yes, post it online! Sounds like a wonderful way of celebrating in the heat!

    Great idea and I am sure you will love listening to them! I usually buy plainsong [monks' chants] and Christmas carols by famous choirs. Music is great for lifting your mood.

    If you value your money Dont fall down the Tay Tay rabbit hold like me

    There’s the super expensive beautiful eyes ep the also super expensive officual cassettes snd also lots of bootleg stuff including the eras tour on dvd which for people wo Dont wish to support Disney is good but shame it’s also not supporting Taylor but my take on that is o will support her where o can but I’ll also support people making stuff Taylor related too

    ive always Been into bootlegs but I ferse the line at out right piracy which tk me Would be saving a few small quid when the product is cheap enough and ready avlibe 

    physical media archiving needs to be a thing like if a concept was filmed just do a dvd please this goes for comedians tok stop just calling it a day wirh a Netflix listing 

    many back tk my point there’s also Taylor books T-shirt hoodies keyrings charms and friendship brwcletss hhahs

    jokes and tangents aside I hope you enjoy the Christmas collection ep

    I enjoy sitting in a hammock in the shade (low 30C outside) with a fan providing some breeze, reading a good book with a bucket of ice and beers on the side.

    One of the many advantages on being in Brazil where Dec 25 is mid summer.

    Restaurants are mostly open on Christmas day too so no problem if you don't want to cook - roast turkey or beef is available everywhere.

    I normally make a Christmas tree from scraps of wood from my construction projects and any other materials that feel right - I'll take a picture of this years one when it is ready.
