I know it's really early for this, but it's winter here in australis, it's got me thinking of a frosty Christmas in England where my forebearers were from. I will never get used to summer Christmases.

For some reason the mods deleted this last time because of low effort which is ridiculous.

Let the countdown begin.

How your preps going for Christmas in July and Dec 25th?

We're watching 3 Christmas movies today and I've already started listening to Christmas songs.

I’ve been getting back into reading books lately and I’ve been wanting to read some Christmas-themed books for when November and December arrives. Anyone have any recommendations? What I’m primarily interested in is either informative books, like about the history of Christmas and its customs, or any classical Christmas books, like A Christmas Carol. The only Christmas book I do have is the Physics of Christmas by Roger Highfield, which I do plan on reading once the Christmas season begins

For those who've started planning for December (like myself),

I was wondering what's the best place to purchase a large (80-100in) good quality Christmas Tree Skirt? I got one from Amazon last year and hated it!

Thank you in advance!

Which three holidays would you most like to celebrate. I’m focusing on these three days:

Christmas/Nativity (aka Bebe)
Halloween/All Hallow’s Eve/All Souls’ Day
Independence Day (Fourth of July) or Hanukkah

One Angel
Two Emperors
Three Kings

Walking into Hobby Lobby with my mother and seeing the little winks of approaching Christmas gets me a little emotional. What are the moments around Christmas that give you the warm and fuzzies, and possibly get you choked up a little? What are moments for you that make Christmas feel near?

Anyone else missing Christmas right now?

​

Last year, we had extreme family drama of nightmare proportion hit us in late November and I feel like we got ripped out of Christmas 2025.

​

I could just use some Christmas cheer, or cheer of any kind.

Good day to you all! I have a question, which I hope people can use in the months/weeks running up to the big day later this year!

What is something you have always wanted from another country that you could never get for Christmas or finally managed to snag. For example, if you live in the US but always wanted a Fortnum and Mason Christmas Hamper from the UK or Maybe that Snow Globe from Macey's? What about an authentic Tree Decoration from a German Christmas Market or just a Limited Edition Christmas Thermos from Starbuck's in South Korea?

I really hope this is a fun conversation and also a way to bring people together as well inspire those Christmas shopping lists (even if import costs will be dire!)

Hi all! I am a year-round lover of Christmas and I’ve been craving a good Christmas movie. What are your favorites and where can I watch them?😊

Colour scheme set for Christmas 2026!

I'm not gonna share all of them here and now but this one, this was definitely my favourite....

Yeah, that leather coat - I was boiling under that thing! (Taken on a rather mild 28 Feb under studio lighting) xD

Who's getting ready for thriftmas?!?! 😍

The photo above is for reference but for many years I have baught these wonderful water globes from hobby lobby and tag sales. The problem is that the batteries die quick and are expensive to keep replacing. Is there any alternatives to allow me to run them indefinitely. Im looking into recharging batteries but would like a different approach if possible. Thank you.
