Lemon10 Nov 2016 10:16am, 28 Nov 2016 2,286 posts	0 Lemon10 Since LG has already brought the subject up, I'm going to talk Christmas! Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas where I work. There is talk of trees being erected on Thursday morning but already lights and snow flake decorations have started going up. The thing with open plan offices (although I am lucky to have my own frosted glass cubicle on the edge of the big area) is that once someone makes a start everyone else follows suit. By the end of this week it'll be like a Christmas grotto in here! Anyone else work places started yet? As for home, I'll probably do the decorating on 2nd weekend of December. Christmas presents will be bought this weekend, we are sneaking ninja style into Norwich early Saturday morning with a list and a detailed plan of attack then hope to make a tactical withdrawal before it gets too crazy. I don't usually get too carried away with Christmas, its pretty laid back at the Lemons but there are 6 of us this year so I will try and pay a bit more attention to the details.

I like your plan re home its probably what we will do too, I have started Christmas shopping mostly online and some things might have fallen in for me too! Oooh sounds like a full house of fun
Fragile Do Not Bend Nov 2016 4:23pm, 28 Nov 2016 1,235 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend I don't work in an office so it's not up to me if/when any decorations go up. I wasn't working here last Christmas so I don't know what usually happens here - we will see...
Lip Gloss Nov 2016 6:23pm, 28 Nov 2016 18,484 posts	0 Lip Gloss NHS buildings do not allow lights and stuff so its a minute table topper of a tree that sits on my desk, I will do that next Tuesday when I do back after my long weekend off. I went into the spare room last night and sorted what I had so I am fairly organised and really just need to get the wee man ( birthday & xmas ), his mummy & daddy and OH everyone else on my list is sorted but OH has all his family to get so that will be mostly what I do on Friday. No running tonight as I have been on all day but should get out tomorrow after my eye test
