Have
you started your Christmas shopping?
All
the stores now have Christmas decorations and trees as well as cards
for sale, in fact these items go one sale far too early for my
liking.
As
some of you may know I start my Christmas shopping in January and
like to buy stuff all year round and keep it stored in a gift box
under the bed which in January is near empty but by this time of year
the gifts are stored in two boxes. I also have a box of Avon which I
have bought during the year which I also give as gifts.
Last
week I started buying the special Christmas cards for my sisters,
brother and mum & dad. I also order some personalised Christmas
cards from Vistaprint which I send to penpals and other family
members.
Tim
of course says I spend to much on Christmas in general and presents
in particular which annoys me, you would think after 33yrs he would
know how much I love Christmas.
Sometimes I order and buy cards from Vistaprint but haven't this year, can't find anything different.
ReplyDeleteI only get some Christmas cards haven't done so yet but should do so soon
Deletei have one or two presents put aside. i don't send as many cards as i used to.
ReplyDeleteI have a large family so really need to buy stuff all year round
DeleteHave I started? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're a man, I don't know any man who starts early unless they think early on Christmas Eve counts
DeletePretty much...
DeleteI've started shopping. I gather things throughout the year, but I'm starting to go into serious Christmas mode. I love giving gifts.
ReplyDeleteLove,

A woman after my own heart, I love giving too a tad more then I love receiving
DeleteI would have to agree that they begin putting Christmas stuff out waaaay too early! I have not even begun to think about gifts yet. We usually only by for our own kids, anyway. Everyone else gets either family dinner on Christmas eve (which is our gift) and family photos. . . .which reminds me, I better get on the plan for those photos!
ReplyDeleteI give to a lot of people my daughters, grandchildren, parents, siblings and a couple of nieces and nephews around 25 people in total
DeleteI buy all year long too. Most times I am done well before.
ReplyDeleteIt's the only way to avoid the sudden expense
