Christmas 2008

[Perdita]

I have seen the first Christmas goodies in a shop today :eek: , there are still 112 shopping days left until Christmas Eve. Have any of you got presents already? I must admit, I have got a couple, sad or forward thinking, what do you think?

[Abbie]

:eek:
I havent even thought about it

[Siobhan]

no way... already :eek::eek:

[Hollie-x]

Ooo I like this thread! Christmas is awesome (:
I havent even started saving yet :S But 112 days till xmas eve means 120 days till i'm 16 yay :thumbsup:

Anyone know what they're getting?
Me is getting a laptop (: no more sharing the family computer which will be good!

[sindydoll]

i have bought 1 present! christmas soon come around! what is it now 17 weeks?

[Bryan]

as much as i love Christmas it's FAR too early to be thinking about it just yet!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Not really thinking about xmas yet, but i do have a few bits that i got in the jan sales this year to save for xmas for mates and stuff but i dont have anything for family or anything

[Hollie-x]

I can't believe that it's gone so quick this year. I thought last year was fast! It doesn't seem that long ago since last christmas!

[Kim]

:eek: I don't usually think about it until 2 weeks before now.

My Aunt starts christmas shopping in August which I think is crazy. She ends up losing everything because there are so many boxes in her flat that it looks like she's juat moved in. In the end she has to start over again because she can only find a couple of the presents.

[Chris_2k11]

not thought about it yet and have no plans to either :D

[StarsOfCCTV]

I saw mince pies in Sainsbury's last week. In AUGUST. :eek: :lol:

[Bryan]

can we just forget this thread existed and not read it until November? :lol:

[Abbie]

Its crazy.
When I was on hoilday in Disney, well Downtown disney they have a xmas shop thats open all year round, but thats different, cos the decorations are all really nice so its only fair its open all the time so those that go in the summer can buy some :p

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Omg what a coincidence!
I didn't even think about Christmas till today..
We went Hamley's so Mum said she would get something for my brother for Christmas as I said I don't want to come again during Christmas :lol:
And then we went GAP and bought my cousin 2 tops there for.. Yup, Christmas!

But until today I didn't even think about it.. It's way to early! x

[DaVeyWaVey]

Too early to be thinking about Christmas lol as much as I love it. On the One Show, they showed a group of people going Christmas shopping for this year in January though..:lol: suppose it beats the mad rush 11 months on!

[Abigail]

Ithere are still 112 shopping days left until Christmas Eve.

Not that you're counting.

I've already sorted my present from my parents. My mum doesn't even have to go shopping for it as Amazon will deliver it.

I usually start shopping the last week in November and try to buy as much as I can online. I really hate shopping around christmas time.

[Tori]

Working in retail means people are already preparing. So, so distressing, because well, it's another year gone! If somene starts discussing it with me, I say come back when it's closer!!

[pinkles14]

I have not started yet but i have been thinking about what to buy the family.....

My sister has started she got the 2 kids there bikes went to 1 shop and the spiderman bike was £70 and the fifi bike was £60 went to another shop and she got spiderman bike for £40 and fifi bike for £25 bargain...
she has got them both about 10 presents so far.
She started early as there birthdays are 27 of November and 23rd of December and her new baby is due 9th of feb.....

[sindydoll]

i think its good that shops have got their xmas things in people on very little income with children can buy gradually instead of getting xmas thrusted on them 8 weeks before

[Kim]

Good point. It would probably be those people who would be organised enough not to lose all the presents that they had bought in the run up to Christmas.

i havent really thought about xmas yet. i normally do my xmas shopping about beginning of november cos my sis bday is at the end of november so i get it all at the same time. i havent thought about what i want yet either, my mum has been getting annoyed with me the last few years cos i dont know what i want and she has to buy for my bday too (which is a week before xmas)! although when i was younger i used to start making my xmas list in about september lol!

[Chloe O'brien]

I'll start my Christmas shopping at the end of the month. I like to get Marley's birthday out of the way before I start thinking aout Christmas, but with being paid monthly I only have 3 pays to do it all.

Aww. That's sweet. At least she gives you lots of notice!

Picked up the Avon book today and they have like a full section of christmas stuff! :O
I love it though - it makes me feel all christmas-y - even if it is still September (:
It's my fave time of year though - I love winter when you can get all cosy in front of the fire with hot chocolate watching Christmas films :wub: The original Charlie and the Chocolate factory - although not exactly a christmas film used to be my fave one 'cause it's always on a christmas.

[Abbie]

I havent thought about, I have no idea what I want.
But Ive lloked at my current funds at the moment, so maybe I should start thinking about what to get people :S

[Bryan]

I start looking forward to Christmas once the clocks go back. As the dark nights draw in, that's when I feel more festive :D

[Chris_2k11]
