Christmas Countdown & Everything Thread-2019

It is disgustingly sweet. Just the way I like it!

Yeeees.

Maybe I’ll skip the marshmallows this time and just go with the pecans.
I hate that nuts and seeds are so expensive! I want to do a nut roast as well. Trader Joe’s has the best prices but I waited too long and it’s going to be so crowded.

I totally agree. Have you looked at Aldi's prices for nuts. Over here, it's Lidl that has the best prices for nuts. I usually stock up on these items when they are on SO. I have tons of bags of them.

Oh yes, a nut roast. It really is the best dish for festive occasions and a winner with omnis.

This looks good. However, I would tweak the Wellington and use less couscous and sub. with chopped mushrooms and seitan.

My tree is up! There is one section of lights that seems to be out, so I think I will buy a small string of battery-powered LED lights and wrap them into that section. Other than that, let the adjustments begin, haha. I pretty much used every ornament. And Theo photobombed, haha.

Beautiful tree! I think I’m going to skip the tree this year. I bought two wreaths to hang in the living room. And I have my little trees and my gnome up all year round lol. Plus my Christmas walk plaque that I never took down.

Thank you, KLS! I don't blame you for skipping the tree. You'll have enough packing to do.

@PTree15 Gorgeous, gorgeous tree (is it real ?) and decorations. I've put mine up. Si tiny, weeny and it's looks like one of your tree's branches in comparison.

Residents in Kegworth have been finding wrapped presents, left by a secret Santa, dotted randomly throughout the village.
So far 12 presents have been found.

Is Santa doing a practise run before the 25 th ?

Thank you, shyvas! I am sure your tree is lovely! My tree is artificial. I used to get real trees until the apartment complex I lived in banned them because of fire concerns. It ended up being more beneficial because Theo pretty much leaves it alone, unlike a real tree. He always broke ornaments trying to climb the real trees.
