Sad. I do sometimes buy cards and wrapping paper though!
I was trying to visualise what my xmas tree would look like in different areas of the room the other day(how sad is that!) we have moved the furniture around since last year.
Already planning december and who to visit when and what we will do.
When we have children to spend time with, my family to be with, my partners extended family which includes the fact he has a 'step' family aswell you can't be that spontanous or you would never fit everyone in.
i don'tthink there is anything wrong with buying Xmas gifts all year round but i don't want to see Xmas cards in the shops in August. Especially when I can't buy things I need for the summer!!
I struggle to get my nan a decent birthday card every year because the shops always cut back on them to fit the Christmas cards in. When is her birthday? October 23rd.
How annoying.
If you know there is a problem, just buy one before?
