Christmas Is Definitely Coming!

Yep it's official! The Christmas tree is up, the advent calendar is being devoured, the Cranberry Chutney candle has made an appearance, the 2008 Lord of the Rings calendar is on its way from Amazon and I've finally managed to get my arse in gear and make some Christmas cards. Admittedly not many - 18 to be precise (at least that's the Sinners sorted), but it's a start. Hopefully more to follow in a few days if I can decide what to do.

Now is the time for the buying of presents and fortunately for me this year Jo's got her act together and got it all sorted. Thanks Jo! I do still have some shopping to do, but nowhere near as much as usual and I think Royal Mail will be rather pleased about that - they can probably lay off a couple of people with this year's purchases compared to the amount I usually have delivered at this time of year *LOL*

Tomorrow Lynne and I are going to Bluewater for our annual Christmas shopping/cinema/meal day. I was hoping Mrs H3 would be coming along too, but it looks like she might have to work, poor thing. So this year's film is 'The Golden Compass' which I've been waiting to see for ages (next year's will be 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' - nothing like planning ahead eh?) Hopefully should be an excellent although tiring day as usual.

However Mrs H3 and I do have tickets to see I am Kloot on 18th December at 93 Feet East and I'm really excited. The more I hear them, the more I love their work - just my sort of thing, depression and love songs - perfect! Check out this fab video for one of their singles which stars the lovely Christopher Ecclestone. How this lot aren't massive I've no idea - their song writing is sublime.



Also have to show the video for my favourite track by them "From Your Favourite Sky". This is without a doubt one of the best love songs EVER written in my opinion. A truly wonderful track that I can listen to again and again.
