The tattoo did it. Christmas is my least favourite time too. This year, for the first time since my son was little, I am not putting up a tree. Thankfully, he's not much into Christmas either. Everyone I know will get scarves. I avoid any stores that play Christmas music (thankfully my grocery store doesn't play any). The good thing is that the days will soon get longer ... my plants are so looking forward to that, as am I. I love your idea about getting together with others to make a film... great idea!

If I had known that it would make a storm like this, :-) @Zazz: It's nice to suddenly have 2 mothers :-) @Anne: I am not doing it because it is rock 'n roll or hip, I might do it because I want it. So yeah, I might go for it. @Pedro: it is going to be small and I will post a pic if (IF!) I do it. I will watch Dr. Who!! And the Extras Christmas special too. @Anne: I know how to get people's attention now. @Annerie: Go for it! @Miek: Sorry to disappoint you mum :) @Robtheblob: Yes it is! And I will watch When Harry met Sally and You've got Mail in a row. They haven't arrived yet but are on their way. @Marieke: It is hilarious isn't it. Bill has such rock legs, makes me laugh every time. Buy Love Actually, all your favourite British actors are in it, and if you like rom-com's you'll love it. Actually. @Looby - I'll do my best on the film idea. Well maybe they are queueing up, but not in front of my door! One read on this website and they never come back again :) Wow!

If I had the money I'd just fly off to a warm Muslim country and sit around reading for a week until it's all over. The film idea is great though - very resourceful of you. I hope it comes off. I can't believe you're single, btw. You must have them queuing up! I also feel quite depressed about the prospect of Christmas.

I had never seen it before, it's hilarious! I saw the Love Actually DVD filed under the Special Offers at the store this past weekend, and thought: hey, look, it's Ingrids film! But I didn't buy it. Then I came home and read this entry on your blog. Hmmm. Could it be a sign? :-) Anyway. Merry December to you then, and good luck on all of your plans!

A tattoo is not something to put in between 20 other things you're doing in December in such a casual way : ) (I highly recommend to watch When Harry met Sally and You’ve got Mail in a row.)

But since everyone is; putting all my stuff in movingboxes made me come across this drawing I made years and years ago. I wanted it as a tattoo above my right ankle (since that spot doesn't wrinkle a lot and doesn't get fatter or thinner much ;o) but everytime I get scared and I don't go. But I still love the image and I'm sure it'll be there some day. What I really wanted to say is that the BBC is excellent in keeping you glued to the telly with more and less christmassy stuff during the holidays. And I think you won't even make through the whole list and you will have loads of fun this December !!!!! OK, I didn’t even want to comment on the tattoo discussion.
