mjmooney Posted September 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2023 We've got lots of Halloween tat in the shops, too. It will drive our three-year old granddaughter into a frenzy of excitement, as she's obsessed with Halloween - it's her favourite time of the year, even more than Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 To be fair with the cost of living crisis people should really start chipping away at it now Unfortunately what that actually means is that I start buying stollen... My wife's bought a couple of presents already, we've moved in to a new house this year so will probably start looking for new lights at some point this month, we're still in the stage of popping to DIY and big sell everything furniture places monthly, we'll be looking at Christmas lights and garden furniture in the sale at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I got a question to the parents out there - do your kids still believe in father xmas? I mean back in my day we had no internet so we believed for a while. But now with kids having access to smart phones and internet at younger ages i assume they know about him at a earlier age?
