Festive Spirit - I am in South Wales and have had no sign of them yet but have noticed Card Shops already have their Xmas cards in stock now and so I doubt it will be long. Where are you based?

and I just wanted to say I love you avatar - I absolutely love Belle - I have a tattoo of Beauty And The Beast on my shoulder

Morning!
Sorry I am only now seeing this post scrolling through and almost missed it!!
Wales how nice! Always wanted to visit there.
I noticed cards and wrapping paper too. A couple shops also brought out a few items from last year's clearance. Usually it starts to build here once the kids go back to school. I'm in the north west. Manchester :)

Thank you! I really like Beauty and the Beast and Belle too :) I look nothing like Belle in person though LOL ! That must be a nice tattoo!

Got an offer for a "Nightmare Before Christmas" perpetual calendar. A different character sits in the calendar's mast head with the name of the month on its base. Each of the twelve figurines is $60 + $10 processing. While it is a well executed piece, $840 for a calendar is not happening.

It sounds like wonderful piece but wow that is expensive!

Well gang. Got a little reading done, some yard work, prayer time and now I think it is time to shut my eyes for a bit and get ready for yet another day of jobbing at Wally World.
I hope you all have a fantastic remainder of the day and when the time comes...

Your mentioning the children's characters and Christmas scenes on the tin reminds me of an American Christmas treat---in a lot of places (supermarkets, drugstores, even office supply stores) you can find large tins of popcorn containing plain popcorn, caramel popcorn, and cheese popcorn (in separate sections of the tin). The tins are usually printed with Christmas scenes and characters. I guess that's the closest thing we have to your tins of chocolate here!

Do you guys still get Cracker Jacks popcorn with the prizes inside! My brother and I loved those as kids. The prizes were always so good!! I still remember an elephant on a tricycle prize I got once. When pushed, it wobbled forward and backward. Loved it :)

They come with a variety of decorations as well - the shop brought ones are often found to have characters of favourite children's cartoons, some have Christmas scenes or Christmas depictions on them, baubles, trees etc.....I brought my mother in law a candle advent calendar last year which she loved. Some contain beauty products, you can also get ones that have Lego inside.
They are a must have in our house - we all get one, even my 60 year old mother in law has an advent calendar.
You also get pet advent calendars as well for cats and dogs which contain a daily treat for them!!!

This made me smile. It's true everyone has to have one. Young or old :) It's our kittens' first Christmas with us this year so I am looking forward to getting them their own!
 
Merry Friday !!
Hope you guys have made it through the week and ready for the weekend. It's a three day weekend here. I believe it is in the US too? This holiday always feels like an official end to the summer even though the transition will be a bit longer. Usually the kids start school just after the holiday but this year they don't start till the following week. That's when it will really feel like summer is over.

Not much planned today. We may go to the shops, park and grab some lunch with the kids. Game night later. I am also off for the entire weekend : ) Yes!!

Have a great day my festive friends.

A very merry day to you all! I was feeling the Christmas jitters so I decided to check in again. I have some Christmas music playing in the background while I prepare some last minute things for work. It's hard to believe that the summer vacation is almost over. Can't wait for the Christmas time to get here, though!
