So it's only 117 days until Christmas!!

I've got an Aunty Joan Humbug. But if you've bought the present that's one less for me to worry about. I think about Christmas about the 26th December. LOL. I am firmly of the view that if it was left to men Christmas would not happen. Although we are the first to look all spaniel eyes if we are forgotten!! LOL. How'd the camping go?

As a Muslim by religion and I am leaving with my family here in the Arab Country in which Christmas is not part of their tradition so I am so Sorry friend we are not celebrating Christmas at all.......

Oh my gawd, that is so scary and I see that this discussion is 7 days old so that makes it 110 days to Christmas, what happened? Where did this year go, and more importantly what happened to our Summer? it came and went, in practically a few days! It's like it's jumped to Autumn over night! I am dreading the onset of all those adverts about Christmas and not only that I hate going into places like Woolworths who, know doubt will have shelves and shelves full of damn selection boxes. Christmas is just a big commercial whitewash now, sorry I sound like bah humbug, but Christmas comes too soon as it is. Although having said that I buy presents all the year round and if you shop in the sales in January you can pick up a lot of bargains, and providing you have the capacity in space you can stockpile gifts and presents throughout the year, avoiding the Christmas rush!

well, that's great.. if i have money now, i should have done an early christmas shopping..LOL.. but guess i have to save up for the presents.. so ill have to wait until end of november or early december to do my christmas shopping!! and of course try to work hard in my online sites to be able to get more money for christmas!LOL.. ummhh.. i could smell the christmas breeze!hehe i am excited about christmas! well this is my favorite time of the year you see...ohh christmas i love christmas!

i like your perspective of shopping before time its a good way of doing things it means you buy the gifts at your own time and at reasonable prices but as for me i think am the kind of person who shops the last minute when i see the christmas mood is has caught up with everybody and there is evidence of santa claus and then i rush to do the shopping

Oh goodness. When you say it like that it seems like it is coming up so fast and I hadn't even thought of it. Oh well...I don't even have halloween costumes for my kids yet.

Well good for you. I try to do that as much as is possible, but the problem is I rarely go out shopping for leisure. I usually go to stores because I specifically need something so I don't hang around to browse. But if something does catch my eye and I think it will be an appropriate Christmas gift for whoever, and provided I have the money, I will get it. Trouble is, I sometimes forget about this pre-bought gifts and when the Yules come a rolling and I'm wrapping, I miss out on some of my purchases. Hayay! It's scary because once the BER months roll on, the days just usually fly and before we know it, it's Christmas.

I do not think you are mad at all to start this early. I was hoping to start early too but It's going to have to wait. I am crazy broke. I just bought three of my university books today and I still need one more. I'm hoping that I at least get to buy some of the presents early. Hopefully If I'm not too tired after doing all my work from class I'll work more here on mylot so that I can earn more. I need to buy a lot of things now that school started. When I do my Christmas shopping I usually make a list for each person and then I narrow it down to one or two things. I'll probably start making the list over the weekend so I can at least have that done with already.

you are very good being prepared for christmas. I am always rushing around at the last minute, i try every year to be on top of things but than i think i've got ages yet, and than suddenly its crept up on me and there's only a week to go

No, your not nuts, your just well organized. I always wished I could be that way, get all my Christmas shopping done throughout the year, but it hasn't happened yet. I have a sister in law, that by the time Christmas is over that year, she's already started on her shopping for next year and by the first of the year, she's done already. But no, not me, I run around like a headless chicken at the last minute, it takes me too long to find the right present.

Good day... Yes christmas countdown is in the air. I personally don't bother with christmas gift I just gave it a single thought and buy it. And I don't really expect a gift either. I just wish and pray for them for love and health.

Thanks for the countdown. I will buy Christmas gifts only in the month of December and only if I have extra money. I am not so greedy. I really appreciate you for having such kind of attitude. Based on your discussion, I think money for you is not a problem. In my case it's the opposite. I am still single but I am the one supporting my sister and my parents. My sister is taking up BS Nursing and my parents don't have jobs because they are advised by their doctor to rest because of some ailments. I need to save money. I will give Christmas gifts for sure.
