Katee came back from Tesco last night with two bag fulls of stocking fillers, guess the 'We need to cut back on what we buy this year' Fell on deaf ears when we discussed it

omg a bloke that does shopping!

I generally just keep an eye open all year, and if I spot something that would make a good birthday/christmas present then I buy it if the price is right.

Like to save stuff with Christmas themes until it is December though.

With cheap posting dates so early, some people do need to buy stuff well early, buying advent calendar early November to ensure it makes it before 1st December

my mum is the best...she has been buying things for my 3 little ones' stockings for me in canada, she has stockings with their names on it from the last christmas we spent in canada and she is even wrapping it all for me and sending it over in a few weeks time. She knows how hard it is for me to afford a lot for the winks and does her bit to help me out.

I used to buy presents for my sister and brother-in-law at the Royal Show which used to be held in either June or July. Being countryside/shooting/hunting types, it was about the only place that inspired me into choosing the right gifts! Sadly, the Royal Show has now gone

We had both families over for Xmas dinner last year and spent a small fortune on goodies etc so it's someone else's turn this year, which means our house will resemble Scrooge's if you looked in the cupboards. Not much point buying a load of stuff that won't get eaten. We haven't decided who we're 'invading' yet though.

Christmas shopping should be left till after November the 5th. Things are getting far too commercialised these days.

I dont 'do' christmas. Normally not at all. No cards, no presents, no decorations, no dinner.

I believe its a religious holiday, and since im not religious I dont celebrate it.

Thu since my siblings have started to have their kids, I do buy a small gift for them, and give their parents money to put in their saving account.

So its a big bah humbug from me.

Can understand that - I brought up my kids that Christmas is about family time, we play games, enjoy nice food, include friends and generally have a lovely time etc.. but we do not follow that madness of buying ever greater and more expensive presents. So no cards or biggish pressies but heaps of fun and cozy nights in.
