I was wondering the exact same thing.

Marking my place and waiting for the poncetastic one to enlighten us all!

Last year we had a build up thread started like this one, where we all got excited and counted down the days to the actual thread. I don't know if I shall try so hard this year after the flu wiped out all my hard earned plans. It literally took all my effort to get out of bed and dd ended up eating pot noodle for Christmas dinner Blush Sad

I had grand poncey plans last year, but I ended up being a non-ponce.
I hardly ponced at all.

I bought the Sarah Raven book, and that appeared to be the peak of my 2012 poncery.

This should be a bumper year due to all the berries and fruity stuff around. Maybe I'll go blackberrying this weekend, and get ready for berry vodka?

Oh yes the Sarah Raven book. That book would have made me lose the will to pounce if I had opened it more than once. Who knew people made plans for floral arrangements at Christmas, more tan picking up a posh bouquet at Asda Grin

Last majorly ponced in 2010, when we last hosted. It is our turn again this year so preparing myself for serious poncery!

Yes, it won't be long before we all embrace our inner domestic goddess, and try to out-do ourselves from the last time!

In short, cooking and entertaining like our favourite chefs, decorating our homes as in those posh interiors magazines, handcrafting beautiful things, and making all our family/friends/neighbours green with envy. Sadly none of the above are compatible with illness.

I shall observe from a distance. DH does all the Christmas cooking due to a desire for it to be edible.

Cannot wait to ponce.

I moved house on 22nd December last year (yes, i'm that mental) so didn't have a chance to reach my full poncing potential. This year is my year...

I'm looking forward to ponceing and have begun already by gathering a big bag of pinecones this week [smug]

Oh good, I'm watching Arthur Christmas right now and was starting to worry I'd gone slightly mad thinking about Christmas already...

to be fair it was DS's idea to watch it.

I was thinking of Poncey puds yesterday (not for Christmas Day, it never gets eaten) but tiny individual ones and have 3 on a plate each (oooh very Come Dine With Me)

Banoffi Pie
Trifle
Apple Crumble with Sainsburys Taste the Difference custard
Ice-cream Sundae
Sticky Toffee Puddings

They'd have to be done in the lead up to Christmas and served in mini dishes.......mmmm Smile
