The C word

ATB, 7 June, 2012 at 14:43 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 13

Yesterday I finished wrapping the 24 little individual pressies to go in my cousin's refillable advent calendar, as I'm seeing her this weekend. I'll see her before Christmas, but I may be manic by then, so it's one job out of the way.

Today is a slow day at work, and I find myself browsing for gifts for my (as yet unborn) niece or nephew's first Christmas.

Some nice men may be coming to take me away quite soon!......

    If it makes you feel any better I have started my Christmas present lists for ideas for what I could buy people. Also started planning Christmas and New Year this week.

    It's ok ATB, my birthday has passed therefore Christmas is allowed to be discussed (the rule I always apply!)

    199 days to go! I haven't even began to think about this yet, but there are a lot of things still to happen beforehand.

    But we're now half way through the years, and the Halloween stuff will be gracing our shops shortly!

    Christmas doesn't exist until the end of November/ start of December for me. It annoys me when a third or more of the year is taken up by Christmassy stuff. I don't want to hear Christmas carols in September!

    I've already brought a few Christmas presents....

    Im far too organised!! But I like to get things when they are on good offers and spread the cost over the year!

    I love Christmas but I start thinking about it approximately halfway through December.

    We don't have kids and we don't go overboard on presents so I tend to be able to get everything in a couple of weeks. It's the wrapping that takes the longest with me - I like them to look nice.

    But then I'm very strict with the fact that the tree does not go up until 12 days before Christmas.

    I love Christmas and all things Christmassy but last year the tinselly tat really annoyed me and I am scared I am now an anti-Christmas grouch like my mum. We are going to be away this Christmas so will hopefully avoid all the mania and be enjoying the sunshine relaxing with cocktails instead!

    I was going to prepare for Christmas later this year, but now I'm due to give birth on Christmas Day I'm going to have to start earlier. ?
