All Things Yule/Christmas

Sounds like fun.

Finally got down all of the Christmas gear. Can't wait to put everything up. Even found my dancing Rudolph Darn this family for wanting to put things up late. Kinda afraid i'll eat all of the candy canes though

I gave my boyfriend his christmas presents already. I got him the metratron II pants from cryoflesh and a Zero punctuation beanie. I'm bad at waiting to give people presents

I don't even know where to begin for the holidays!

I'm still not looking forward to Christmas with the family... it'll be another emo disappointment even if I've bought my own gift and am satisfied with that.
All I really want now is a white Christmas.
Unfortunately it's bright and sunny.. looks like about 48 degrees today (was 50-something yesterday) so... it'll be a Christmas miracle if it actually does snow.. . let alone enough to cover the ground.

Nothing in the 10 day forcast except "light showers"
:/

^^ Please take our white Christmas. I don't want it lol. I beg you to take it

Very easy ...start at a store pick out something and pull out some plastic ...simple as pie.

Does anyone know what I could use to substitute candy canes on the tree? Some genuis snuck and ate all of the candy canes I had bought.

Supposedly you can use pickles...
Don't ask, cos I totally don't know, but yeah... pickles...

Never heard of that before lol. I found some popcorn, so i'm just going to pop that and put it on string. That should do I guess. Thanks for trying though

could use food colouring to make the popcorn all blue & red.

heh yeah... I found it weird too but...
to each their own I suppose

That's actually a good idea! And I do have food coloring . Thanks! . Bet that would probably look way better than candy canes too

I suggest putting the food coloring in a spay bottle and then spraying the popcorn with the mixture if you dip the popcorn into the coloring ..it might get soggy and no one likes a soggy popcorn garland.

Now you tell me.... Okay, i'll start from scratch. This is my first time doing this, so i'm pretty clueless lol.

I will pm you what to do ...I really don't want anyone else to get upset with chatter.

I actually started decorating the office today. I have a snowflake theme going on. I was tired of all the red in green in the other offices at work, so I thought blue, silver, white and purple would be a nice alternative. I'm going to buy some more stuff this weekend. I want a winter wonderland look.

That sounds lovely.
My brother's mini tree for his room had blue, white and silver.
I like themed trees.
My bf mum has red and gold.
Mine looks like a clown threw up on it. It's has so many colors hahah

Diva the way you described your office its sounds just like "winter" I bet its beautiful.

Moon there is nothing wrong with a tree that looks like a "clown threw up on it" I think the more colorful the better but that is my own opinion.

Well... Christmas is more or less canceled for me.
I'm sure I may get something tiny from my family (like a new pair of jeans... which I desperately need anyways ) but other than that it sounds more or less like Christmas dinner and that's about it.
Ah well... I may get something after the first of the year but... it's not the same, yknow?
But... if I get a new television (heck even a used one from a pawn shop would be great... as long as it had better graphics than the one I got for free last year that's about 10-15 years old ) I guess I can't complain in the long run...
Just sucks I have to buy my own Christmas as well as get gifts for people who probably wont appreciate them or even say thank you.
And... my Christmas cards will probably arrive after Christmas at this rate (well, my outgoing ones... sorry everyone. )

No worries Lex.
You do what you gotta do.


I'm putting up tree.

My boyfriend gave me my present yesterday night.

a little black story is that when my roommate moved out, he took his amp so I couldn't practice my keyboard. well he just went out a spent 200 dollars on an amp, thats a 300 watt amp.

hes so sweet XD

Some cupcakes I baked.
I made this for my brother's gf.
And these are the mini ones I made for my co-workers.

I need more cellophane wrap so I can make a few more.

Moon those cupcakes ...I loved the way you wrapped them up in cellophane.

Thanks.
Too bad I can't mail some to everyone hahah

Did you get to try one out yourself Moon?
