I have handmade all the cards I need to.

Bought most of the pressies I need to.

I was always one of those people who left everything till the last minute, no more.

I am feeling very smug right now.wink

 I don't do anything special for Halloween, it's a none event for me. I do get some toffee and chocolate in to give out to trick or treaters...that's about it.

We are away late Nov for a couple of weeks, so I like to get Christmas shopping and other preparations done before I go.

 I guess it’s about how many you buy gifts for, your input and enthusiasm,  how much you wanna make it special for those people, how much you love Christmas…. I absolutely love it…. I go daft, i decorate and bake, I love having everyone round, love cooking etc,…  I just love everything about it…. I’ve 12 at mine this year so far for dinner, + plating 2 up for neighbours with mini bottles of beer/baileys and a small gift!… I just love it!

 That's really thoughtful of you to think of your neighbours.

Everyone should have Poca living in their street. cheer1

 

This year, for only the 2nd time since we married, I am not cooking Christmas dinner for family....I am having it done for me, happy I am doing Boxing day instead.

Christmas presents wrapped. happy

 

Not to brag, but I am pretty artistic and creative, so how come I cannot wrap presents nicely?

I even struggle with square boxes. just not capable of getting neat finishes.xr

(sorry, that's the only Christmas smiley I could find)
