Thinking about the 'C' word...

Christmas!... There I've said it. I've used that dreaded word.

 Christmas. There, I've said it again.

Now you've gotten over that initial shock (even though it's only 3 months today- panic stations everyone), I'll continue with my post. I know that it's really early, I was talking about the arrival of Autumn only yesterday, and I'm probably going to be strung up by my toenails or something, but I'm so excited for Christmas!
I've already thought about and planned Christmas presents, namely how I want to wrap them, but I have made a few lists- of the 'nice' variety, of course; I've thought about decorations, new Christmassy recipes to try and what I'm going to put with this year's Christmas turkey. I'm just super excited! And let's face it, it'll be upon us in no time.
It's without doubt my favourite time of year and I'm already on the verge of listening to Christmas songs- we even had a cheeky burst of Shaking Stevens at a staff meeting this week, so maybe I'm not the only one? I've been planning people's gift hampers and trying to budget how I'm going to survive until January payday and I just can't help it. I worked my way through various Youtubers' 'Vlogmas' videos from last year just to try to satisfy my need for anything festive.
This year I hope to fill my blog with festive spirit and plenty of Christmas related posts! It's probably not acceptable to start just yet but watch this space...
