A question about : * Walking in a Winter Wonderland *
'Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland'
Hello and welcome to the 4th Christmas Chatter Thread.
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 2014.
NOTE - For all new people please don't lurk, but come and join in with all the chatter. We are all a little mad (about Christmas!), 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Please let me know if any become out of date or if you would like your birthday added to the list.
A big thank you to OMO for starting the thread last year.
