Anybody Thinking About Christmas Yet?

Just thought I'd cheer you all up by asking if you are thinking about Christmas yet? I bought my general cards in the sale at the beginning of the year and I put money away each week for High Street Vouchers so will wait for them to come before buying the presents. Do you love it or hate it?

already sewing like mad on Christmas orders, my busy time ( wont complain about that) so I don't get to do anything about my Christmas until the last minute. Don't really do much about Christmas, I will raise a glass at Longest night though. Then the days start getting longer

Must say it isn't the same now the kids aren't at home, once they take the pressies on christmas eve under the tree looks a little sad with only pressies for two but I do enjoy the run up to it buying and wrapping and imagining the faces when the gifts are opened:Banane01:

I collect presents all year round. I have a 'treasure' drawer and anything I buy goes into this......I dip into my treasure drawer when birthdays catch me by surprise....they do sometimes creep up you....but whatever is left gets parceled up as Christmas gifts.
I bought cards and wrapping paper in the January sales......my only problem is sometimes I can't locate them....I squirrel them away and forget just where I have put them.

I made that mistake once, now everything is put where I know I will find them:Banane01:

I DO find them eventually....though sometimes it happens to be in January.....C'est la vie!
