And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)
Well all of you who start your Christmas shopping earlier must be extremely organized! If I buy something that I won't need for a while, I have a tendency to misplace or forget about it...at least until after the fact! I guess out of sight, out of mind!
Ca 4 1/2 months then i will start shopping : )
Its the season to be jolly

Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
I'm starting christmas shopping in July/August. Usually I wait till Novemember but with the way money is at the moment i need to spread out costs. I REFUSE to spend less
Walmart had clear glass, star-shaped tealight holders and I bought all they had. I'll keep some and give some to my mother for Christmas. I'll probably buy her a German Christmas ornament, too. She likes anything made in Germany.
You sound like me! When I find something I really like (especially at a good price), I will buy in bulk! Then I have great small gifts that can be used as last minute gifts or to give when I have several people I want to acknowledge, but can't be too extravagant!
Our parents were never extravagant at Christmas, so my husband and I aren't either. Besides, my mother gets angry if she thinks we spent too much for her gift. Today we went to a shop called Himmel Haus and I bought my mother a doily made in Germany. It's machine embroidered with a yellow flower and a red ladybug.
