Who has started Christmas shopping already?

Iain

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 like Christmas but I refuse to give it any thought until December. Obviously I have no issue with people getting started buying presents for loved ones whenever they want, but the advertising, Christmas lights etc all starting at the beginning of November I find very annoying. Some people just think that is being a miserable, Christmas hating Scrooge but I genuinely do like Christmas when it actually arrives. I just don't want to bang on about it for two months beforehand because then, by the time it arrives, you're already a bit sick of it.
