So I shouldn't mention that I have started my Xmas shopping then?!

[paulaplumpbottom]

It'll be here ore you know itbef

[paulaplumpbottom]

Good girl, I have started as well

[SomethingSpecialWorks]

Got most of the stuff for their stockings , here. It is not my fault - it's genetic. My Mum shops in the January sales for paper, cards and those dreadful toys that make noises - she, her BIL and my two love them.

I just can't be bothered with the Christmas rush I usually have all my shopping done before the end of October

[paulaplumpbottom]

I have to admit I do hate the stores putting decorations and all up early

[paulaplumpbottom]

It means that the decorations aren't as special. I used to get very excited as a child when all the decorations went up becaues it meant Christmas was soon. Maybe we should boycott stores that put them up early

[paulaplumpbottom]

Wouldn't leave us many places to shop, but hey you never know

[paulaplumpbottom]

LOl at least we don't get early decorations online. I suppose that would work. Retailers aren't keen on people buying too much online ( not as many impulse purchases)

[SomethingSpecialWorks]

I know exactly what you mean littlelapin - Christmas is not the same when it arrives in Tesco in September.

I'm really lucky. We live in a place that is still very seasonal. The shops don't push Christmas until December. Then everything disappears until next year. It is the same with Easter.

[paulaplumpbottom]

Its that way in the States to. You don't see mcuh until after Thanksgiving

[JudgeyMcJudgeson]

It's not even August yet!

HOw organised are some of you? I don't usually start xmas shopping till term has ended. It's all part of feeling christmassy. I can't do that in October, let alone July!

Horses for courses

I used to like to feel Christmasy while shopping but that was before dd was born. I just don't have the time to wait till the last minute now
