Tarot Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 If you have one of those long plastic garlands, that has snapped in the middle, you can get some wire from a florist/or wire from a picture hanging kit,and entwine it round the garland. This works well, especially on heavy ones, but not on ones with electric lights on. More tips to follow. Any more out there, money saving ones etc.or where to get spare lights now woolworths has closed.

Tarot Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Try and buy one game or mind game for the kids before Christmas, to distract them while you are coping with something else. For little kids jig saw puzzles, or Lego The oldies can be settled, with a bag of marshmallows and an old film. Good tactics for a bit of peace and quiet. For more shrewder kids. bribery, I.O.U.s are good. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14705-christmas-tips/#findComment-390896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Max Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If Christmas spirit = tips on going shopping, basic car maintenance, and immolating the very young then I'm right there, Herod.Anyway, I'm not a fan of Christmas, I think it excludes the Islams and some of them Jewish fellers. PS Can I use frozen lemon juice on my car headlamps? I am following your tips in order and have got confused.

Tarot Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Children should be wrapped up warm in the cold weather. Most heat is lost from the extremities, so they must be covered. As for cleaning car head lamps. lemon juice on a cloth does cut through grime very well I believe Jesus was jewish. If you dont like Christmas ,why read the thread.
