I went into Lowe's last week and had to wade thru christmas decorations to get to what i was after. mid october. they used to wait until after halloween at least.

59 days!

And I realise that lots of you get annoyed by Christmas preparations and decorations being about too early, but I have only one word for you...

...scrooge.

Sundae · 10-27-2008, 06:14 PM

I admit I've already bought 2 presents and decided on 3 more...

Aliantha · 10-27-2008, 06:19 PM

I haven't bought any presents yet. I'm only thinking about food right now. lol

Actually, I have thought about getting my boys surf skis for Christmas this year. It's a perfect present considering where we live now, and I know they love paddling them.

I don't know what to get Dazza though. I'm hoping there'll be some divine inspiration on that one. lol

I've started bookmarking gift ideas for the kids. But I won't even start thinking about food until we've finished the harrowing travel/schedule negotiations with the rest of the family.

Aliantha · 10-28-2008, 11:47 PM

You mean cricket day of course.

DanaC · 10-28-2008, 11:58 PM

Why, did the Australian apprentices collect their pennies in a cricket box?

Aliantha · 10-28-2008, 11:59 PM

Nope, we all just watch cricket on Boxing day. Unless of course you don't like cricket, in which case you go to the beach or just be generally lazy.

ZenGum · 10-29-2008, 01:04 AM

It is way to early to even think about talking about Christmas yet.

But, ahh, boxing day ... feast-bloated belly, stinking hot outside, stretched back on the couch with a few mince pies and maybe some leftover Chrissy dinner / beverages, six hours just kicking back .... nice.

Aliantha · 10-29-2008, 05:36 PM

57 days to go!

Almost time to start stocking up on Christmas lights!

Aliantha · 10-29-2008, 05:37 PM

Oh and ZenGum...it's never too early to talk about Christmas! Shame on you!!!
