Ahead or behind?

I know there are some who dont start on anything to do with Christmas, until 1 December.
Or later.

For those of us who start a lot earlier, are you ahead or behind?

I am ahead. Partly to do with circumstances.
When I go out, there seem to be more people than usual, both on the roads, and shopping.

Is that just around here? Spreading cost of living? Weather is still good? People go out for coffee more, and then browse?
Or starting getting ready for Christmas earlier?

Nope , I haven’t given Christmas a thought. And I’ve got 4 family birthdays before Christmas.

Just now noticed an email from Boots about some perfume and aftershave heavily discounted so ordered both.
I have now officially started C......s shopping.

If a couple of bottles of elderflower fizz, a pouch of ready-cooked chestnuts and a jar of cornichons counts as "ahead", then I suppose I'm ahead. Oh, and I got out our shoe-box of Christmas cards today. DH is our official card-writer and he's very slow, so he might just have them finished by early December! tchgrin
