Yes Yvette 1979, its visiting several towns on it's tour. It is coming to my town too so I expect the great grandchildren will be going to see it with great joy. Think it's the Asda store on the outskirts of town next month.

Enjoy when you get the chance, we are all big kids at heart. I've just wrapped the last Christmas present for the kiddies and in a week or so I am off on a turkey and tinsel holiday to start the Christmas season off. This week end I am going to the theatre to see a Christmas musical. Miracle on 34th street.

Now you can see the Coca Cola road train and sing "the holidays are coming" too

Whoop it's in the Bullring shopping centre Birmingham on the 11th dec, that's the closest to Tamworth for me. In the last few days it has started to feel like Xmas, my kids are nagging to put the tree up, I always do it on the 1st dec so not long now, bought my first Xmas prezzie yesterday think I need to get cracking lol. X Sonia x

[yvette1979 in reply to Hidden]

me too normally done and dusted by now ... but due to domestic issues i'm way behind this year but yes will also be turning the whole house upside down on the 1st .... bonus kids will be at school hehe

Not with you on this. In fact if I had the puff I'd firebomb it when it comes here (Bristol). Rotgut sweet acid drink, environmentally a disaster, treats its workers like s***, mega multinational and a major FIFA sponsor. Urgh...Think of it as an alternative view.

[elja in reply to notlocal]

I'm with you on this, notlocal!

[RibvanRey in reply to notlocal]

I hate the drink too. I just love the huge truck and the fact that They were the first people to design Mr S Claus as we know him and colour him red. Then the music too. It announces Xmas to millions of kids.

I live in the States and had no idea what you were talking about (I've never heard of a Christmas Coca Cola truck...), so I looked it up and sure 'nuff....:

I guess the closest thing I'd have to compare it to would be when the Budweiser horses came around on a tour when I was a kid years ago....

[RibvanRey in reply to Dmactds]

We have loads of horse drawn brewery wagons but huge Mack truck don't drive up and down our streets. So it is magic.

I love putting the tree up I brought one from America it was 7 feet tall smelt of pine and was fantastic until my daughter brought 2 kittens home they ran up it around it and down it after two weeks it looked like a loo brush, I had this tree for 10 years we took it down and my daughter took it to the tip.

[yvette1979 in reply to onamission]

i love doing my tree to (well jell of your 7 FOOT tree by the way) want to do it now - feeling better than i have in a long time but might get committed ...... when is an ok to do it without looking totally mad ?

[yvette1979 in reply to yvette1979]

and can i say AGAIN its thanks to the fact i spoke up on here and all the wonderful replies and supportive comments and suggestions on this site - i've spent 2 years feeling so alone and now i don't feel alone i feel well and motivated and its been less than a week on here and i've done things i haven't done in ages ........ so pleased i found you all you've given me hope and more than you will EVER know

[onamission in reply to yvette1979]

I think its 12 days before and you should take it down 12 days after Christmas I don't have the 7 foot tree anymore after the cats wrecked it but I did buy a nice 6 foot pre lit one from the garden centre in the sale it was a £100.00 but very nice I have a lot of tree decorations I brought from America I will try and put a picture on hear when I have my tree up, I used to have a train around the tree but the cats had that as well my daughter was in fits of laughter

[yvette1979 in reply to onamission]

last years xmas tree is now my profile photo

[onamission in reply to yvette1979]

Wow what a beautiful tree our cats would have a field day on that

Now now children, calm yourselves down or you will all be sent to your rooms. My silly wife was dancing round the room when the advert came on for the first time this year. "It's Christmas" she cried. "Bah, humbug" says I.
