Who has started Christmas shopping already?

It is just over 7 weeks until Christmas so it seems a good time for those of us who are disorganised to start planning and avoid the anxiety of last minute purchases.

Who has got their present / card purchases all sorted out?

Who is struggling for ideas?

I though this could be a good prompt to get people thinking ahead and working through some of the struggles for decisions on purchases to make the whole thing a bit easier this year.

I've got my main present sorted out and am working out what to get for the other 4 people on my list. Cards I'll be picking up this week (with a few spares just in case) and will soon be sending my international cards as well as they seem to take forever.

How about you?

  • I start my Christmas shopping in September. I find Christmas stressful so a few years ago I started this practice so that I can spread out the difficulties I have. I try to be finished by December so that I then only have to stress about cards, food and any socialising I have to do - which is less each year!
