A question about : *The Holly and the Ivy* and the You Know What 2013 Chatter Thread.
Well I am starting this a few days earlier than planned but I have a lot of links to add.
This thread is not just about Christmas, but our whole year. We have had many ups and downs, deaths and births but we have all made it through to the end of the last thread and Christmas 2012.
NOTE- For all new people please please don't lurk, join in. We are all a little mad, but not dangerous. 
The following posts will be made up of all the links saved from last year with new ones added as we go.
This will hopefully make it easier in October when we are all looking for them.
Please let me know if any become out of date 
Before I begin a Very Special Thank You must go to Gleek who started last years thread. Where would we be without you. 
Best answers:
- My goodness, 2013 thread already!
Just needing to check...is that a deliberate spelling mistake in the title? *ETA - you changed it already while I was posting *
Anyway, I came late to the thread this year but hope I can join in all year long this time! Thanks for starting it! - Thanks for the new thread OMO

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....php?t=2852028 - Can I show my ignorance
What exactly is this thread about? I can see a list of posters birthdays, but I'm not really following the idea behind the thread. Is it to start on next Year's Christmas presents early? If so, why the list of birthdays?
Sorry if this is a stupid question - Yaye. I made it across. .
Joining much earlier than I did the 2012 thread.
look forward to hanging out here.

Homemade Gift Baskets-
https://www.homemade-gift-basket-ideas.com/ - Thanks to Gleek for starting the 2012 "Let it snow" thread, and big thanks to OMO for carrying us across into 2013.
I lurked for a long time before I had enough nerve to join in, but I'm so glad I did! Lots of tips and advice, and always support for anyone having a hard time. Plenty of laughs, and wonderful makes and bakes - what more could we ask for?
Looking forward to hearing from old ( and new ) friends in 2013.
