How many of you have already bought items for next Christmas?

DD and I went to the sales and came back with Christmas cards, Christmas crackers and a couple of presents.

Bought 2 stocking fillers for GC and my friend spotted something she liked in an art gallery today, so I've bought that for her Christmas present. It will be very low key with no family parties or pantomime to look forward to.

The mince pies are on sale at Sainsbury's!

We’ve went into lockdown last night.Today I just feel so down about Christmas, I cant see it being lifted. I’ve no heart in Christmas shopping , I will get round to it as I have grandchildren to buy for and a few adults, but then it may be a case of dropping them off on the doorstep like we did with their birthday presents. As there’s just the two of us I won’t bother putting the tree up either.

I've bought stocking fillers as I have four stockings to fill. I've made a christmas cross stitch for a wall decoration. I'll be at my dd's for Christmas day as I'm in their extended household,unless there's another complete lock down.

ohh i no sad, i always do it at the last moment. at first I think and it seems there is still a lot of time. then the last week comes, I still do not have specific solutions, I have approximate options for each loved one, but half of these ideas are no longer possible to do (usually everything is bought up or have big queues for notis) .

Hopefully, this year I'll do everything in advance, I really hope.
Are there the same as me?
