I keep my Xmas tree up all year & start the shopping in January – this week I've picked up food items for the big dinner
IT'S the most wonderful time of the year, but for one woman, Christmas is a year-round celebration.
From keeping her tree up all year to steadily stocking her festive food cupboard, this Christmas fan spends every week preparing for the big day.

Sharing a video on her TikTok page, ' christmasdisneycrazylady,' she revealed to her 175.8k followers the latest additions to her Christmas food stash.
Explaining her approach, she said she shops throughout the year, buying a few items each week to spread the cost and ensure she's ready by December.
One of the items added to her cupboard this week was apple sauce, which she admits might be a bit unusual.
She explained that although it's traditionally paired with pork, she loves having it with turkey on her Christmas dinner.
In fact, apple sauce is just one of her favourite condiments for the big meal, alongside cranberry and mint sauce.
She added that Christmas is the only time of year she buys it, making it a must-have for her festive preparations.
Next on her list was a large jar of chunky Branston pickle, another item she only purchases during the holiday season.
She said it's perfect for Boxing Day or Christmas Eve when enjoying picky bits and leftovers, making it a staple for her Christmas cupboard.
Finally, she shared her love for foil roasting tins, which she described as a lifesaver on Christmas Day.
In less than 24hours, the TikToker's video received 66.3 views with 209 people rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: 'I buy gifts or it's all the time to put away.
'My daughter's 30th birthday was sorted about six years ago and it's not till next year, she's still 28, I just remember.'
Another asked: 'Do you have a budget or do you end up spending more doing this way I just always see something else.'
To which the Christmas fan replied with: 'I don't have a budget but I don't over spend either.'

In another video, the Christmas fan also revealed how she still has her Christmas tree up from last year.
One of her followers jokingly said: 'You never took it down.'
To which she replied with a video of her cheersing with a Disney Christmas themed mug, and her tree behind her.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.

Twins who played Ross and Rachel's baby daughter on Friends dish behind-the-scenes secrets
They had their first taste of Hollywood at only six months old - but over 22 years later Alexandra and Athena Conley have taken off in a different direction. The twin sisters, 23, were both cast to play Emma Geller-Greene in the ninth season of Friends, appearing in six episodes of the famous sitcom. The duo went viral last month after Alexandra posted a TikTok video, revealing their secret sitcom past as Ross Geller and Rachel Greene's daughter. The clip, which has now been viewed over 2.2 million times, began with a recent picture of Alexandra striking a pose, with overlaid text that read: 'Told him I was on TV as a baby.' The next slide was a picture of one of the girls in a coat with a pink bow in her hair, being held by David Schwimmer, with Jennifer Aniston standing nearby. A selfie followed which read, 'Oh so you did like Gerber commercials?' The post then ended with the photo of them from Friends which has the hashtag, '#holyairball.' While the girls, who grew up in Long Beach, California, were having fun looking back at their showbiz days, they admitted their video received 'a lot of mixed reviews.' 'Well, a lot of people thought that we weren't the actual twins, because we were only on it for a little bit,' Alexandra told The girls, who made their debut in the episode The One Where Rachel Goes Back To Work, explained they only appeared in a handful of episodes before their time on screen was cut short. 'Alexandra actually got us kicked off,' Athena exclaimed. 'We got it, and then she cried too much, and they couldn't use me the whole time because of child labor laws.' The girls were replaced by Noelle and Cali Sheldon who took over playing Emma from 2002 to 2003 - whom the girls are now quasi friends with. 'We follow each other on Instagram,' Alexandra quipped. 'We've followed each other for a really long time since you were younger.' Despite a short time on set, they still walked away from their experience with some good stories - or at least that's what their mom has told them. 'She just said that all the cast members were super friendly, and all of the guys were hilarious like they'd be cracking jokes the whole time,' Athena recalled. 'She's like, "Oh, yeah, they would just say lines on the spot, and half of it would get put in the show" which that was something to me where I was like, wow, that's awesome,' she continued, adding the cast was all 'super sweet and welcoming.' They also revealed their on-screen mom - Jennifer Anniston - had a hand in selecting them for the role. '[Our mom said] they had actually shown photos of us to Jennifer Aniston — that's how she ended up choosing us,' Alexandra shared. While they haven't met anyone from the cast yet as adults, they have been back to the set to see where it all began. 'We did do a Friends tour at Warner Brothers a while ago. We were hoping there'd be a cast member there, but it was really cool,' Athena explained. 'We got to see the set and everything, but we have not gotten to meet anybody.' Despite their early start in the TV show, neither one of the girls have pursued a career in showbiz. Alexandra now works as a marketing and social media coordinator for a beauty company. Athena became a cheerleader for the Denver Broncos last year and also works as an investment control reconciler for a financial services company. While neither one of the Conleys pursued a career in the limelight after their stint as baby actresses, they loved what the show has given them and are huge fans. 'I have been a fan ever since I watched it for the first time and, to this day, it is still my all time favorite show,' Athena gushed, with Alexandra agreeing. She added: 'Each character brings something so unique and hilarious to the group — I see a bit of myself in all of them, which is what makes this show so special. No matter how many times I've rewatched the series, it still makes me laugh like it's my first time seeing it. It always lifts my mood and will forever be my favorite show.'

Hilarious lottery winner ‘dries her tears with £20 notes' after body-shaming troll mocks her Victoria's Secret haul
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LOTTO winner hilariously hit back at a troll who body-shamed her by wiping fake tears with £20 notes. Olivia Love, of Glasgow, scooped £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin last month. 4 Olivia Love and her husband Kevin scooped £10,000-a-month for a year in the lottery Credit: ALAN PEEBLES PHOTOGRAPHY 4 Olivia wiped fake tears with £20 notes in response to hateful messages Credit: Olivia Young 4 Poeple have applauded Olivia's hilarious response Credit: Olivia Young After the first installment dropped in her bank account, Olivia went on a huge shopping spree and enjoyed her "Pretty Woman moment" spending £750 in Victoria's Secret. The 36-year-old's also been able to quit her job at a local supermarket, and hire a cleaner and gardener. And thanks to her massive tax-free win, she hopes to build her dream career in wedding content creation. Since going public with her win, Olivia has been speaking out about the life-changing cash in more detail on TikTok. Many social media users have flooded her with supportive messages, but the mum-of-four has still faced cruel comments from trolls. In a video, she said: "You see things like 'looks like she needs a PT', I'm assuming personal trainer. Or when they say things like, 'my bro's only with her for the money'. "And when they comment on the things that I've spent the money on. It's pretty soul destroying to have this kind of bullying. "Now I realise that I went public, so I'm kind of bringing this on myself. But I didn't realise that in announcing a lottery win [and] trying to change our lives by using the money for good, would end up with this. "It's 2025, why are we still commenting on a woman's body? "This is a happy time for my family. We're overjoyed, we're so unbelievably happy. And it has changed our lives for the better. National Lottery Winners' advisors tell The Sun what it's like to give away £7bn "But these people, with their jealousy and nastiness, are determined to bring me down. I've got a relatively thick skin, I've been through a lot of s***. And I've done my best to come out the other side of it." Olivia made an example of one hateful message by responding with a hilarious video. She wiped fake tears from her eyes with £20 notes she pulled from a Kleenex box and joked that she "cried all the way to the bank" while looking at a comment which read: "£750 in Victoria's Secret? For her? She'll look like a smoked ham in a thong." Her clip quickly racked up 30,000 views with people left in stitches over her good humour. One gushed: "Omg that has made me howl, perfect response." "You deserve every penny", a second insisted. A third echoed: "I hope you win even more money!!!" A fourth wrote: "This is such a good reaction to this comment. AHAHHAHAHA." A fifth said: "Love this reply!! Sod the haters. Enjoy your winning." Meanwhile, a sixth added: "Best response!" We told earlier how a simple email from the National Lottery team at 12.33am on May 16 changed everything for Olivia. Before this, the mum-of-four was earning just £800-a-month working in a supermarket's customer service kiosk. 4 Olivia says the lotto win has been life-changing Credit: ALAN PEEBLES PHOTOGRAPHY She was on Universal Credits to subsidise her eye-watering £1,800-a-month childcare costs and "dreaded" her council tax bill coming through. She said: "My husband and I claimed Universal Credit because we needed help with the cost of childcare. "Now, obviously, because I've won £10,000 a month for a year, I'm no longer entitled to that which, you know, quite right." Olivia and Kevin won the second-tier prize on The National Lottery's Set For Life on May 15 after matching five main numbers. The winning numbers in the draw were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, plus Life Ball 06. 'Set For Life' offers a top prize of £10K a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched. Players can also win £10K a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers.

Our children of courage who are the heart of the Pride of Britain awards
As we launch the search for more remarkable young people, we look back at the past winners who find silver linings in their tough lives and bring a touch of magic to the awards Young Florrie Bark and Jacob Newson faced challenges that would overwhelm most adults. But despite all the difficulties they face in daily life, last year's Pride of Britain winners and their supportive families have devoted themselves to helping others. TikTok sensation Florrie has raised £200,000 with her Bemorefab Children's Cancer Charity, while Jacob The Pilot has raised £168,000 for the hospice that cared for his mum Andrea and the RAF Benevolent Fund, but has set himself a top target of £210,000. Both Florrie and Jacob, 11, also want to care for other cancer survivors., The young flying-mad schoolboy from Leeds has always said he wants to be a fighter pilot when he grows up, but now Jacob says, 'I also want to be a doctor so I can find a cure for cancer. While Florrie, who was diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia aged just six and had a very poor prognosis, is delighted to be celebrating another birthday. She says proudly, 'I am nine next month.' And she has lots of plans for the future. 'I want to be like Barbie and have lots of jobs – I'll be a cancer nurse like my nurses, and maybe a vet, and a singer.' There's never a dry eye in the house when the stories of bravery and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds are told about the Pride of Britain children. Every child who is nominated for a Pride of Britain award is a winner, but some are truly remarkable – and unforgettable. When last year's winners came back to launch Pride of Britain's nominations last Friday aboard P&O Cruises Brittania, Child of Courage Florrie Bark and Young Fundraiser of the Year Jacob brought the fun with them. Despite having just got over shingles, Florrie made the most of the special day with all the TV cameras, and her infectious giggle could be heard all round the ship. All of the winners were sent on holidays of a lifetime by Pride of Britain partner P&O Cruises, but unfortunately Florrie's gruelling treatment for cancer caused irreparable damage to her lungs, and has meant her trip is delayed. 'They're holding the holiday for us to the Caribbean until after we get the call for Florrie's lung transplant at Great Ormond Street Hospital,' explains dad Andrew Bark, from Corby, Northants. Florrie can't wait to be able to have a normal life again, 'I want to just be doing everything that I want, like everything I used to be able to do. I just want to do everything!' Having already lost her hair a few times after several rounds of chemo, now her hair is coming back curly, although she's brought a long wig for the day which looks just like her old locks. Mum Stacey says, 'After the first round of chemo, Florrie's hair came back white and really straight, and then it came back dark, and this time it's come back curly and I think it's going to stay this time!' While she was in hospital Florrie started posting funny and inspiring content on TikTok, which has won her 330k followers, and many well wishers have helped the family with their sterling fundraising efforts, including Henry Moore who is walking from Manchester to Ibiza in his flip flops. Florrie's dad Andrew says, 'He's on day 65 and passed through Barcelona and has so far raised just over £40,000 with Gift Aid.' Explaining where Be More Fab came from, Florrie says, 'Fab – That's my initials, Florence Ava Bark.' Her older brother Freddie, 11, sits patiently and doesn't seem to mind his sister getting all the attention. Mum Stacey reveals with a laugh, 'Freddie wants to change his middle name to Andrew so that he's a Fab as well. At the moment he's a Fnub!' READ MORE: Pride of Britain launches with huge nationwide hunt for amazing unsung heroes After the awards last year, there was some controversy over where Florrie was planning to display her precious trophy. 'It's in the living room,' she says. 'But I want it in my bedroom! However her dad points out there's no space left. 'I don't know where it would even go!' Young Jacob also has a special shelf in his house for his award. 'I've got a stack of trophies,' says the lively youngster. Jacob's fundraising adventures have taken him and his dad Andy up and down mountains including Ben Nevis and the Yorkshire Three Peaks, and also the highest peak in North Africa and they've walked across the Pyrenees from France to Spain. This year he and his dad Andy plan to ride across Germany. 'I love seeing the sights and traveling,' says Jacob. His dad coughs. Jacob adds quickly, 'And spending time with my dad.' Andy reveals, 'We've raised £110,000 for St Gemma's Hospice who supported us – and still support Jacob. And we're currently at £58,000 for the RAF Benevolent Fund, but the plan is to get that to £100,000.' 'And then I'm retiring,' pipes up Jacob. His exhausted dad unsurprisingly looks slightly relieved. Jacob has sage advice for this year's children who find themselves winning Pride of Britain when it comes to celeb-spotting. 'If you get any opportunities to see anyone, just take it – grab life by the horns.' It's a mantra the 11-year-old lives by as reveals his secret to achieving his challenges. 'My mum,' he says. 'I just think about her every step of the way.' Past winners of Child of Courage Ravi Adelekan, 2023 After life-saving surgery to reduce the size of a non-cancerous tumour on his brain stem in September 2021, the then-eight-year-old Ravi Adelekan from Brighton had to learn to walk and feed himself again. Yet despite this Ravi was determined to help others and set out to raise £250,000 with Ravi's Dream in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity and Brainstrust. Mum Bethan said: 'We listened to The Greatest Showman throughout Ravi's treatment, and he came up with the idea to make a charity single.' Stars including Paloma Faith, Damon Albarn and Jimmy Somerville recorded a charity music video of the song A Million Dreams, which raised £82,000. Ravi continues to have scans to monitor the tumour, and has undergone a number of procedures, but he doesn't let his challenges hold him back. Bethan says: 'Ravi loves encouraging people to believe that no matter what life throws your way, your dreams can still come true.' Emmie Narayn-Nicholas, 2020 Manchester schoolgirl patient Emmie and her family were inspired to provide meals, support and comfort to the families of other seriously ill children. Emmie was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia at 11 years old in 2017, spent 100 days and nights at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital and had two and a half years of treatment before it finished in 2019. While in hospital, Emmie saw how patients' families struggled with being away from home and had to live off snacks and fizzy drinks. That was when she came up with the idea of making wholesome, home-cooked meals for the families. In June 2018, she started Emmie's Kitchen next to Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, which is open to all parents with a child staying at the hospital. Since starting, it has served more than 3,500 people freshly prepared dishes. 'Emmie serves at tables, slices bread and chats with the families,' says mum Eve. 'Many people ask to meet her, the girl behind this brilliant idea, and she takes it all in her stride.' Joe Rowlands, 2018 It was a bright winter's morning when Joe, then 13, and his dad Paul, 51, took their kayak out for a paddle off Anglesey in North Wales. They were about a mile and a half from shore when the kayak started to fill with water and capsize. Paul tried tipping it back over but it wouldn't stay upright. So he told Joe to sit on the upturned vessel as he tried to 'kick it like a float' toward a tiny island, Ynys Dulas. After struggling for 30 minutes, Paul realised their best chance of survival was to swim for managed to reach a cluster of rocks and Joe clambered to safety, but Paul developed hypothermia and passed out. Risking his life, Joe dived into the sea and dragged his unconscious father onto the rocks. He performed CPR until Paul came round. As they huddled together, brave Joe kept his father awake until two and a half hours later, until they were rescued by the RNLI. Paul says, 'He was just a boy but he acted with a maturity, calmness and courage beyond his years.' Bailey Matthews, 2015 Eight-year-old cerebral palsy sufferer Bailey Matthews reminded the world of the true meaning of sport when he pushed away his walking frame and took his first stuttering steps towards a triathlon finishing line Captured on video by a spectator, it was an inspirational moment that went viral and was seen by millions around the world, from his native Nottinghamshire to New Zealand. With dogged determination, and despite falling over twice, Bailey, who was born nine weeks premature, scampered over the line and into the arms of his proud dad. Bailey was last to finish the 100m swim, 4km bike ride and 1.3km run in the Castle Howard Triathlon in North Yorkshire in July, but was roared home by a huge crowd of spectators. Mum Julie has been stunned by the global reaction to Bailey's triathlon feat. She says: 'We never thought the video would go as big as it did. But we have never told Bailey he can't do anything.' Terri Calvesbert, 2004 Terri Calvesbert was just two years old when she was horrifically burned during a fire at her home, started accidentally by her mother's cigarette. Ninety per cent of Terri's body was covered in agonising burns with only the area covered by her wet nappy being spared. She was left with no hair, lips, nose or fingers and just one foot. She will need surgery for the rest of her life. Dad Paul says: 'The doctors told us she nearly died so many times.' But since then, the brave little girl from Ipswich has shown courage beyond her years in coping with the terrible injuries. Paul says: 'She inspires me every day.' Sadly Terri's mum Julie was racked with guilt, and left home a few weeks after the accident. They have not heard from her since. Bubbly Terri has endured many major operations since then but her biggest challenge was starting school. 'I worried how other children would react, but she loved it,' says Paul.
