Throughout the year, I may pick up a few big gifts if I see something on sale during sales, prime day etc

However, and I may be alone, but there's something oddly satisfying with buying things last minute during the Christmas rush

That time before Christmas when you realise that adrenaline is brown.

Easy for me no family! Hopefully my best friend will still be here though for this Christmas, He was told a year last October as the cancer is terminal. I would love to have another Christmas even if it would be our last.

Whenever really. My kids birthdays are near Christmas so I just buy whatever they need and divide it up between the two dates

Now all you've got to do is go out, throttle, pluck, gut and stuff a turkey

That's on par with saying that when the ice cream van plays it's music it means they've run out!

Me too. I pick up birthday cards when I see them, rather than try and find one when I need one.

If mine were younger, I might have tried the old "Santa's GPS is broken" line.
