The merchants are hoping you do I’m sure

I. Did ask the boy when he would get his winter breaks. Want to go with him to the Thai restaurants for the lunch specials on the weekdays with him.

@cherokeepatti I'm sure too! :)

Very Christmassy, not! :)

Tough one in the UK.

High streets are pretty dead as shops go out of business and local councils are rinsing business for every taxable penny.

Which means much of anything you are going to look for is online which in turn often sees companies advertising products they expect to have available but don't yet because their expected suppliers aren't even sure they'll get it in time.

Since leaving the EU this is a common feature for day to day consumables let alone Christmas one-offs.

I made the decision to give money this year.
Only question is whether I risk postal delivery or try and ping it via my phone.

But I fully expect SW to blow up as silly season draws near.
So if it's important to you, post away.

@Picklebobble2 So many shops are closing at an alarming rate and with little money about I can only see it increasing.
Happy Christmas!

I am nearly finished with my Christmas shopping - only a couple trinkets left to buy and then it's done. Menus are already planned for each family gathering. Christmas cards will be mailed the day after Thanksgiving and decorations will go up that weekend. Then I'll sit back and enjoy the season without the rush and hassle. Yeah. Over acheiver this time of year. 🤷🏼‍♀
Nimbus · M
@LadyBronte Yea, planning ahead will save the rush later! :)
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Nimbus Exactly. But sometimes, I do miss the last minute hubub. 😂
Yes. Next weekend you may mention it. Well actually I’m not sure it’s worth a two month hype for a two day event/celebration and holiday. I love Christmas too and I plan for everything to be perfect but it’s so short lived.
Nimbus · M
@Gingerbreadspice Then may I be the first to wish you a happy Christmas :)
@Nimbus Thank you 😌

I'm being lazy this year. I know what I'm getting everyone, and will have it all shipped/delivered early December.
Nimbus · M
@WillieT Wise man! 👍
BillyMack · 46-50, M
I’m gonna say yes. At least let’s get to Halloween. 😬
Nimbus · M
@BillyMack That's a fair point.
AbbeyRhode · F
Nope, ive started my shopping. 😊
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode There's still plenty of time.
AbbeyRhode · F
@Nimbus True, but I really want to get done early this year, instead of stressing myself so much.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode Yes, better start ASAP :)

Since the only thing I will be doing for Christmas is cooking for a friend, and hanging a wreath on my door, and taking out my tiny Christmas decorations, I am not worried about mercantile hype.
Nimbus · M
@4meAndyou Good to hear!
Happy Christmas anyway! 😛
4meAndyou · F
@Nimbus You, too, my friend! I hope yours is joyous!

@jackieash Don't really like deer meat . Just like the season . Got to get through Thanksgiving first . Checking radio stations for Christmas music 👻

NOOOO, but wait till after Friday ok but never too early
Nimbus · M
@Lilymoon Sawwrryy ;)
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
Never. 8-) Seriously, Businesses plan for all these various 'holiday seasons' 12 to 24 months in advance.

China can only pump out so much junk so fast. lol

For the rest of us, once a festive event is over the focus immediately shifts to the next one. Probably due to how commercialised such things have become.

Nimbus · M
@SlippingAway Fully understandable 👍
Nimbus · M
@AthrillatheHunt I tend to agree.
Maybe another couple of weeks or so.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
