Re: Christmas decorations
Well my plan is to go round with the duster today and then put all the cards up.I feel honoured that people send us cards and I like to decorate for Christmas but the rest of the decorations won't go up till next week.Chrismas dinner is roast pork with all the trimmings. We aren't that keen on turkey. The cracking has to be really crisp so that's my biggest challenge of the day. I usually end up cutting it off and putting it on the grid from the grill pan over an empty tray and turn the oven up to its highest temperature.

In the words of Pygmalion, "not bloody likely"!!! I'm not one to waste power on trifling little lights that do not provide enough light to see where I need to go!!!

Re: Christmas decorations
I always used to have a real tree - really love the smell of the real stuff
- but my last house was a bit small in the only available area to have a real one, so I bought fake. 
When I moved here, it was December so I thought what the hell and bought a small real one, but it didn't smell
So I bought a fake one the following year.
The year after that I didn't want to get it out of the damp, spider riddled garage so bought another fake one.
The following year I didn't want to get THAT one out of the damp, spider riddled garabge, so bought a small table top type one, that I can store in the w/robe
When I do eventually move to my next place, I'll make damn sure I have a space for a real one of decent size
I plan to put my decs up tomorrow in the hall and lounge, and cards on the window ledge.
Christmas is a bah humbug, but I do like to see the decs up, brightens the place up for a couple of weeks.
Even if I never saw anyone, I'd still make the effort and brighten the place up for Chrissy.

I always check mine with a meat thermometer and as soon as the meat's temperature is 75deg(c) or near as damn it, it's done. If you haven't got a thermometer, stick a small sharp knife in and if the juices run clear, it's done.
Take it out of the oven and let it rest for a good 15mins before carving..

Re: Christmas decorations
Well I've made a start and put my new Christmassy wreath on my front door! It has little model animals on it and looks cute.As for putting my cards up they are dotted about my living room. When I've tidied up all my papers and paperwork, I might find them all and decide where to put them. Most probably sellotaped to my door.
Will I be putting up the fibre optic tree or lights? Dunno. I'm away for Christmas so will look forward to what Bournemouth has to offer.
