Almost done. I have very little to worry about really. The wife put up the tree and decorations whilst I was at the Liverpool game. I get the wife 3 decent presents which go under the tree and a stocking containing 10 pieces of tat, socks, shower gel, chocolate and such.

I also organise all the food for the christmas period so we don't have to leave the house, this will be done around 21st and I'll spend most of my time sat at home playing games with whoever turns up

Yes thanks. The sprouts are bubbling away nicely. Hopefully they will be ready for the big day!

Depends. I've obviously had mine on since Bonfire Night, but even that's a bit late for some purists. Remember the old saying:

"If sprouts you want on Christmas Day,
Best to put them on in May"

Just the wrapping to do. All food and presents brought, tree and decs up - Christmas music on low and the mulled wine in a saucepan on the stove.

Ok the last bit isn't true, i cant stand mulled wine.

There are only so many times I can tell the wife to **** off though...

If you're still telling her, you've not reached that limit yet. Hope this helps.

I'm 0% done, no plans for Boxing day. Even had our company Christmas do yesterday evening, and our team xmas lunch / beers tomorrow afternoon.

Work is absolutely manic that I am struggling to even find some days holiday to use up! Busy every weekend until Xmas now... not ideal.

I can see the week running up being very busy. Ideally I'd take the 22nd off, but feel that is a bit to last minute to be getting started.

I'm never sure what it means. Ready?

Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, what is there to be ready?

What do you mean what's to get ready. Somehow I've got find 3 wise men and a virgin, which is going to be a hell of a task in the Medway towns...

You should try it. Obviously film it for the good folk of NSC to see what happens to you - Nothing bad one hopes.. Could be internet gold.

0% ready. Moved house on Tuesday from Lincolnshire to Suffolk . Had major surgery on stomach 3 weeks ago and spend 2 weeks in hospital, so the timing of move wasn't great. Now trying to unpack everything whilst not being able to lift much more than a kettle Haven't even had chance to get any cards yet .

I would say that I'm 60% ready and 40% not willing. So it stays at 60%.
