Are you all ready?!

I have almost finished shopping - gonna walk into Goldthorpe shortly and get the rest of my presents apart from 2 things which I need to go to Donny for.

Not really excited, to be honest. Some aspects feel like a burden. But like you, we do begin to keep the peepers open with January sales and through the whole year. So that by middle or late October, we have most of the shopping done for our daughter, her children, and certain people that we find special. All things have been sent by mail that needed to travel aa distance (1,300 miles or across to other countries). All that is really left now is to buy a little somethings or others for each other. For which we have time yet.

As a proper man, I do not shop for her until atleast December 22nd. smiley - winkeye

I'm not really here

My son's birthday is in December, so we don't do any christmas preparations until that's over. smiley - smiley I might have a tree up early, but it will have to be down again before christmas day so it seems a bit pointless.

I'm sure that I must have missed something somewhere, Mina. But why does the tree need to be gone before the day it generally is intended for?

Ah, my job. I look after smiley - dogsmiley - dog in the house, and I won't have a tree up when strange dogs are here as I can't put it out of the way anywhere.
