I have patiently waited for today to start this thread. Mainly in the hope that someone is going to reveal a magical gadget that they’re asking Santa for and then I can do the same!
Who has all their presents purchased? Presents wrapped? Money in a pot that’s been totting up all year ready for a splurge when shops open again?
I already have my Christmas Tree up, which is a festive feat in itself given I normally manage it by the 20th. I’ve got my Christmas baking on the go - trying to perfect my Mince pie filling before going mental on the baking. Not even started. Going to be a very “what can fit through the letter box” type christmas I think. But! On the plus side, I have got an excellent winter full of Movies to get watching.
Last night I watched the traditional “transitionary” film between Autumn and Winter - The Nightmare before Christmas, of course - and today marks the start of daily festive films in the lead up to Arthur Christmas on the 24th, and of course Die Hard on the 25th.
Only got a couple of pressies left to get when the shops open again on the 11th. Planning to wrap everything I’ve already bought and put the tree up at the weekend
Started a monthly deposit into a pot earlier this year so got my funds ready, but nothing bought yet. So happy about this as usually I don’t plan and have a very tight January.
My partner’s bday is yesterday (30 November) so I never really have capacity to think about Christmas presents until I’ve got hers sorted and out the way
Have started on a list so will try buy presents for family this week as last year I was running round shops on the 20th and hated every second of it
