    Hi. I am having Christmas withdrawal symptoms and desperately want to go Christmas window shopping!
    Penneys have let me down so far - there is no sign of any Christmas decorations yet. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there always some decorations in September?

    Argos gave me a little taster with the last 2 pages of the catalogue with Christmassy stuff and online there's more stuff but I would love to drool over a proper catalogue. I asked in store yesterday and they won't have a catalogue til October.

    SO please has anyone come across any shops/catalogues with some Christmas stuff already? Thanks

    I saw two types of Christmas trees in Woodies at the weekend.

    Also Penneys had a small section with some Christmas things - stickers and tea towels/facecloths with pics of Santa!

    Penneys have a good bit of Christmas stuff in now. Christmas cards, wrapping paper, gift bags, Christmas globes, Santa trains, a cute soft Snowman, some lights and towels and tea towels.

    Also I was in Easons and I saw a magazine dedicated to making Christmas stuff. In their card making section they had lots of Christmas stuff.

    OK it's not a catalogue but I got a magazine today called Christmas, or The Christmas mag (sorry not sure, it's downstairs!) and it has loads of christmas decorations and recipes and gift suggestions. It also has lots of Christmas craft ideas.

    My local Euro shop has a massive section with Christmas decorations, cards, wrapping etc.

    Lidl have loads of German style Christmas puddings, biscuits, etc and chocolate Santas and reindeer
    There was a little girl asking her Dad when Santa was coming and he was ignoring her!

    It's getting so much closer now! :D

    PS Had a horrible dream last night that CHristmas day was only a few hours away and I had no tree or presents got and it was lashing rain out :(

    Saw an ad on TV yesterday for the Argos Christmas catalogue!!!
    Actually it's quite funny. It looks like the set up for a Bing Crosby Christmas Special but then he starts beatboxing!

    This forum has kicked off a lot earlier than I though it would too. I thought I'd have some peace until at least November :P

    PS Bought a tree a few days ago - 6ft, decent enough, reduced from €20 to €10! And lots of little really cheap decorations. God I want to put up my tree so badly! :D
