    Definitely not ;) I'm so excited for Christmas, I'll be visiting my boyfriend for the holidays and we're doing long distance at the moment so it'll be extra special. Already been talking about what we what to do and listing Christmas movies we want to watch (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Home Alone :pac:). I need to learn how to make a turkey soon!

    The hypocrite I'm engaged to stands tutting and rolling his eyes as I also fawn over the Christmas aisle in Tesco and then gives out stink if I buy anything cos it's "too early". I usually mutter "Ebeneezer" at him, knowing that come Christmas he'll be content to stuff himself with the very goodies I'm buying.:p
    Oh for a dose of the three Ghosts for him........

    The hallmark shops do lovely, good quality wrapping papers. :)
    Penneys also have some great ones at a good price.

    Haha we do! I'm too poor to do much besides bake cookies and decorate my 12" tree, though :) Every year we drive around admiring people's lights and decorations. Most are pretty tacky (like inflatable snowmen!) but some are nice and classy. There are a couple things out in stores here now for Christmas, but mostly it's Halloween and then Thanksgiving stuff.

    My sister told me yesterday what she wants for Christmas so I get to buy my first present this week. It's great to be able to spread out the cost.

    Was looking at these yesterday and wondering if it was too early to buy them... that said I left it a bit too late last year and ended up with one that wasn't that good, chocolate was revolting so might but one in the next couple of weeks.
