…but Christmas is coming. I know, I know. Actually, I must stop faking it. I am so excited I’m going cross-eyed. I start my Christmas present spreadsheet on Boxing Day as I gather ideas for people by what we’ve talked about on Christmas Day. I’ve been planning our festivities since May. Presents were bought in July. Christmas on the Fizzy (Fizzmas) has been planned since August. Lady Cargers is crocheting snowflakes, Nana Jen is designing both our trees, the Boxing Day menu is planned and our Team Fizzy Christmas pyjamas have arrived. I love Christmas.
For the sake of decency, I’ve kept Christmas off the Fizzy until now. I’ve already been scoping out the online Christmas shops. I have my decorations and wrapping themes planned but you don’t need to know that. You can carry on until the last minute if you wish. Whatever makes you fizzy.
Just in case you have the beginnings of a tinsely glow here are two pre-order ideas that say a lot about life in Camp Fizzy.
First up is an advent calendar of tea by the Bird House Tea Company. 25 blends of tea to take you through to Christmas day. We had one last year and it was brilliant. The monkeys still talk about.
Next, and probably more importantly, Sipsmith are doing gin filled Christmas Tree Decorations. I’ll say it again. Gin filled decorations. That may save your life during a family game of Trivial Pursuit.
That’s it for the fizzy public service announcements. I shall endeavour to keep it Christmas free until November but I really can’t promise.
