Christmas is already approaching...It's almost time to receive and give gifts...*smile* I'm just curious here, have you already started your Christmas shopping? If not, when do you plan to start it in order to avoid the holiday rush? What do you think is the gift that you are going to give to your family? What are your plans for that day? Are you & your family plan to go on vacation?
For us, my husband & I will celebrate our Christmas together with his family. We already drawn by lot the names of the family members that we are going to give gifts. The venue is not fixed though. It's either we'll have it at my sister-in-law or my mom-in-law's house. We'll the plan is each family will prepare their favorite foods and bring it their, play games, go out to watch fireworks display and return to the venue to exchange our gifts.
As to the gift shopping, I don't start it yet but I am planning to start buying gifts on November.

Well friend, I am also looking forward to it. I cant wait to reach there, it is a very cool and private place where even supermodel Naomi Campbell like to visit atleast twice a year. It is one of my dream holiday destinations. Our honeymoon destination will be a surprise as fiancee puts it so he gave me a chance to choose my favorite then he will choose his. Thanks alot friend for your post. I will tell him everything you said. Say hi to your hubby.

I like to give myself some time to do my Christmas shopping so I start a bit early. I like to have most things done by late October or early November. That way I've missed the crazy rush in the stores and if I've had to order anything it has time to get to be before the holiday.

I always plan to do my christmas shopping early but i generally don't start it until the beginning of December!I haven't really decided what to buy for my loved ones this year but i have been thinking about it, sure i'll decide soon!
I've always had my christmas dinner at my mums house but i moved out 4months ago so i'm thinking that this year i may have it at my place and invite my family round, so that all the pressure isn't on my mum for a change!
