No, I've started my Christmas shopping. :)

@AbbeyRhode Thus avoiding the rush, wise!

👀 I don't do that because I don't have anyone to buy for. However I want to slap you because Thanksgiving is still two months away. What's the rush? Let them get the Halloween stuff off the shelves. Thanksgiving used to come next in the stores now it doesn't exist

@Gibbon It is sad how retail and the media ignore Thanksgiving, the stores because it's difficult to commercialize gratitude, and the media, because they are evil, and the idea of thanking God for our blessings is repulsive to them.

@Gibbon Good point!

@AbbeyRhode I remember the grocery stores especially at Christmas time all those orange and brown paper fold out turkeys and decorations. The crinkle cut rolls of paper. Various Thanksgiving themed food items. And candy. You don't even see those color expressions anymore in the stores at Thanksgiving. They jump right from Halloween to Christmas.

That could be a good time management hack! But just not too many mince pies, they're not exactly health food.
Nimbus · M
@supersnipe That's a point! 👍

@Nimbus They're already promoting them at the local supermarket. A taster stand with little dinky mince pies by the cafe, and a sign saying 'Go on, it's Christmas'

Last time I looked, it was September 26th. Christmas now lasts three months 😅

@supersnipe lol, a tease with the end result of making a profit!

If we have any monies left after paying the Bills...

It’s a personal thing. If you feel so compelled, get at it!!
Nimbus · M
@Quimliqer Exactly though I will wait a few more weeks yet and not change the habit of a lifetime :)
Quimliqer · 70-79, MVIP
@Nimbus I feel the same.

We have already put our Christmas food order in and paid the deposit. Some items are already out of stock.

Prices have gone through the roof, claiming poor harvests, the price of fuel and the war in Ukraine.

It gives the Food Company a tax free loan for two months. I suppose that is a gift for the accountants.

Erm, personally looks a bit over the top...for September.
But what the hell.
Lilnonames · F
not if you use last years
Nimbus · M
@Lilnonames Good thinking ;)
That's one way of saving money 👍
Lilnonames · F
@Nimbus yes and put a name tag over there name and resign it
Nimbus · M
@Lilnonames You've done this before, haven't you! ;)

@Nimbus Christ era starts at 0 AD and ends at 2025 as per belief. Post that it’s awaiting the end (Revelation).
