Every where has half price, three 4 two and loads of offers so maybe doing your Christmas shopping now is a good thing. All that money saved! Think the shops are getting worried we're all so slow! |

I havent got one present or done one card and I have no decorations up either. I will do it all in a mad flurry then I will know it's near Christmas, I think that's part of the whole thing for me, I can't be that organised, wouldn't enjoy it. Pat x |

This is a first for me this year, I had everything in and wrapped by the end of November. I have to say not as enjoyable as my usual method of running around on Christmas eve in a mad rush. Think I'll go back to the old method next year! Christine |

I've got most of mine done. Just a couple more presents to get and cards to send to my work colleagues. All that need posting have been posted. I hate shopping in town this time of year as it is so crowded. I am a wheelchair user and all the shops seem to cram everything in so I can't get round. Last year I complained in a card shop and the answer I was given was "Well we are a card shop and it's Christmas." Not very constructive when I need to buy cards and wrapping paper as much as anyone else does. Mel |

I've still got to do all my shopping, all my dads shopping, my grandad wants me to pick up bits for the great grandkids and I've got to cook christmas dinner for 15 people. Help!! Oh, and I'll probably get a phone call christmas eve from my little brother asking me what he should buy. Kerry |
