HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKITTY!

One time I got banned from decorating our tree (I was like 7) I'd covered it with tinsel and beads and miniature TY Beanies!

PTSD, that's funny! I kind of have the opposite. I chucked so much stuff on this year that the top half nearly toppled over (Yes, fake tree, sorry!!) so I had to counter-weight it with huge metal bells!

Merry Christmas to you, too, Mnemosyne. That's the good thing with having this name; getting random greetings that aren't always directed entirely at me (More to my alias!!)

I so wish that I could get you all Christmas presents. But that would be slightly impossible. I'll think of something - maybe I'll get some stuff and then sacrifice it in my back garden... or maybe not...

I've just (over)decorated my tree! All I need now is presents to put underneath. But If I start wrapping cardboardboxes as fake presents my parents might get a bit worried!!
I also have an advent calendar (just boring cadbury's). When it get nearer to the BIG day our family generally have a carol singing/playing session with minced pies and mulled wine (but no spaghetti hats )
The ONE (and only) downside of Christmas would probably be the outrageously HUGE number of Christmas concerts I have coming up!!!

@HR99 I missed you lot too! Yeah, hopefully I'll get on here way more often! Love your avatar!!!

@Davina I am feeling better, thank-you, Davina. I am very pleased and I think my Mum is too!!

@Irene I missed you loads as-well! Thank-you so much, that means so much to me! I hope that this Christmas will be a very happy one!
I couldn't help noticing that you're location says London. Have I missed something while I've been away??

Thanks again, you're such lovely people!

#1 Either coffee-chocolate or ferero rocher
#2 Probably plain chocolate and bread (bit boring but I like it!)

My contribution... (Hope it's OK)
Après que John ait raconté la nuit �  la piscine, Sherlock commente : "Tu viens juste de décrire l'une des meilleures nuits de ta vie et tu le sais." Ce �  quoi John répond : "Oui."

Yeah, my Mum's teaching a little girl with learning difficulties so she's learning Makaton. Sometimes we'll try and have conversations together but mainly we just finger-spell which I can do pretty well.

Ooh, Italian? Ciao, Come stai?
My Friend's Mum's Italian so I've picked up a tiny bit.
I going to start learning BSL (British Sign Language) soon, I'm really excited!!

Oh, thanks, you guys! You're much more supportive than my family!
Yeah, he does look a bit like he's been to the beach!
Haha, I'm sorry about the state of my nails, I really need to cut them! I've actually never had a manicure ever, I just can't stand the obligatory small talk!

You're so lucky! She's just adorable, congratulations!
