adverts saying "order now in time for Christmas". There have been 3 in the last half an hour all for different stores!!!

 

I know it's only 13 weeks and 1 day until Christmas but even so

[Chickvic]

I know what you mean! I love Christmas but even I find it amazing that the shops have their Christmas stuff out now Let alone having to order something just in case

[WarrensWorld]

We are both agreed, we will not acknowledge the 'C' word in any way what so ever. That's until after December 1st.........

[chickencam]

3 months today 3 family birthdays first though.

[poachedegg]

I've started buying some things - because I hate shopping at Christmas and the busyness of the shops...that way I can enjoy all the christmassy things in December.

[Space Chick]

I make it my personal mission to finish all my shopping before Dec 1st. Have bought some things for my sister and the God Children. As Phil and I are away this year, I doubt we'll buy anything for each other, especially as we are having new sofas.

[Cooks]

gift wrap a sofa each.. or put a big soppy ribbon on them... sofas are more practical than half the over priced junk there is around these days. I am not feeling very Christmassey yet... can you tell?

[Space Chick]

Just spoken to Phil and we have agreed that we won't buy each other anything for Christmas, so the ribbon on the sofa is looking a good idea

[Cooks]

you could make him something...

 

I am sure you could come up with something lovely.. or gift wrap some of the girls eggs as their present to him...

 

ok I will sit in the sorner, I dont know where this silly modd has come from.

[missuscluck]

Bah humbug. Went in Tesco yesterday and they havean isle full of Xmas clobber already.

 

However in Aldi they have all the parts needed to make your Xmas cake so I did buy some.

 

Dont want to know about anything else though. Fingers in ears...la la la la.

I hope you've got them on Pam

I refuse to do anything until after dec 1st. 3 months is a quarter of a year. the 1st is ds2s birthday anyway so it seems a good date to wait until

[Lesley]

I dont know where this silly modd has come from.

 

What silly Mods?? - no silly Mods around here

 

 

I did buy Argos vouchers on Saturday for presents, and insisted on having my free £10 voucher for spending £100......it didn't come up on the till and the young man had to go and ask the manager.....they tried to tell me that I couldn't have a voucher but I said that their advert didn't say that it didn't apply to spending on vouchers and that I only needed 3 as birthday presents so they could refund the other 7 and I'd buy them nearer the time........they couldn't find anything in the book they looked through so I got my free voucher

[Leicester_H]

I refuse to do anything until after dec 1st.

Thats my rule too.

[Leicester_H]

Just spoken to Phil and we have agreed that we won't buy each other anything for Christmas, so the ribbon on the sofa is looking a good idea

That seems sad - why not have a £5/£10 limit so you both get something of a surprise on the day ?????????????????????

[Chickvic]

I wouldn't worry about having sofas as a Christmas pressie, I've had a dishwasher, vacuum cleaner and other practical presents I love it! Although we do occassionally buy silly bits and pieces too

[Valkyrie]

OH and I often don't bother but buy a joint thing that is needed in the house or garden. His birthday is soon after so he is a pain at that time of year. I think he will be getting lots of snoring remedies this year. I usually order the turkey in October, but usually not much else gets done this early in the year. Bah humbug and all that!

[Mrs Webmuppet]

I hate Christmas being advertised so early. I feel like screaming 'look, I am fully aware that Christmas is in 3 momths time and I don't need reminding' when I see the Christmas puds etc on display. The more it is rammed down my throat by the shops the more determined I am that they won't get my money!

[freespiritbutterfly]

I am in total agreement with you. I adore chrimbo but when people come into a florist this early and ask when they need to pre-order chrimbo wreaths and chrimbo bits it can take the fun out of it because its just too early! maybe in another 6 weeks lol!!!!!!

[Purplemaniacs]

OH and I often don't bother but buy a joint thing that is needed in the house or garden.

 

 

An excellent idea Koojie, OH would love a walk in run as our joint Christmas present

 

Right that is OH sorted present wise

 

Don't tell him

 

Chrissie

[Valkyrie]

Like your style! My lips are sealed. Sounds a jolly good pressie to me.

[ubereglu]

I hate that too, especially as I kept seeing Christmas stuff before my birthday last week too.

 

On another note I hate it how my friends who have jobs moan...they have money and valuable experience under their belts. I don't.

[Woodcat]

I can't cope with the idea of Christmas yet. I've only just got through the "what do you want for you birthday" which I never have an answer for without the whole process starting again with the added complication of getting other people presents.

 

 

I dread the Christmas period mainly because I dread shopping. I have an inner timer that means if I shop for more than two hours coffee break included I want to turn into a five year old and kick and scream. I have a lot of symphathy for the average child having a tantrum during Christmas shopping. It doesn't help me much as all I want to do is join in but....

 

I am firmly of the opinion that Christmas should be banned until the first of December.

 

.....and thats my Bah Humbug of the day

[Reikiranf]

I have actually bought one Christmas present I'm not usually so organised but it was on offer and too good to miss

 

A few years ago we didn't get paid until just before Christmas so we went out on December 22nd @ 2pm went to Lakeside and Bluewater and returned home at 10pm having got all the Christmas presents & food shopping! I should add that I did make a present list so when I hit the shops I knew what I was buying and for who.

ps re: presents I often get DH a dvd that I really want to see
