Christmas shopping/list - who's started?...

[TonyEnjoyD]

So, with only 165 shopping days to go who has started either buying or creating a list for their ther half?

Mrs T gets everything for the kids, so luckily I only have her to buy for.

Not actually bought anything yet but the list is started.

Have not finished the summer list yet.

A lot of companies are doing their Christmas brochures at the moment
This was taken ten days ago and the temp was 32degrees ,I past it on a ride

I'll start shopping a bit closer to Christmas.
As I'm a bloke that means Christmas Eve.
At about 4 o'clock.

I know it was dark when I left for work this morning which is depressing enough but Xmas lists in July .....

Can we not close this thread and reopen it on the 24th Dec

None of the above. I dont do Christmas.

None of the above. I dont do Christmas.

Me neither! I fecking hate Christmas, that time of year in general, the weather, the Christmas bollix, the short daylight hours, fecking hate it.

1. Christmas is commercialised bollox, designed purely to empty anything that might somehow still be remaining in our bank accounts.
2. Don't know who my other half will be in 5 months time!

So I guess that rules out Christmas shopping for the other half in July .

Yours etc.,

Christmas shopping starts in January and gets stored around the house- I could never afford to do it all in Nov/ Dec, therefore both the kids are finished and a lot of family is bought for as well as and when sales come up in places. Couldn't afford it other wise.

Christmas shopping starts on 5.55pm on the 24th of December and I refuse to even consider it until then.

I have Hubby to buy for and that's it. If he chooses to buy for his Dad & Sisters that is up to him but I generally get him something about a week before Xmas. He wants new bib shorts so I can get them without leaving the house
Far too early to be thinking about the middle of winter. Are you trying to wish the warm weather away?

Somewhere between

• 12th December - brother's birthday,
• 24th - father's birthday
• 26th - friend's birthday,
• 27th - wedding anniversary,
• 29th - brother in laws & my birthday,
• 1st Jan - friend's birthday

Christmas does not get considered until a suitable day to ignore it - like the 25th! We prefer to be up a mountain somewhere in Scotland.

Someone once asked me in September what my plans for Christmas were. i laughed, and told her to "get the f*ck outta here!" in disbelief. Why why why would you start thinking about it now? OK, if you're planning summat 'big' and have to sort out plans/organisation/finances etc, fair enough, but if it's a choice between a Kindle and a poncho, then "get the f*ck outta here!"

I know, ridiculous, poncho's are lovely aren't they?!
