There have been TV ads lately from the Sun. Christmas club or similar. Many folk begin their Christmas shopping at the January Sales. There's nowt as queer as folk.

I don't plan ahead far, but if I see something I know someone would like I buy it and put it away, it makes things a lot easier when December comes.
And if I get ideas for gifts I write them down before I forget !
I often find that people like home-cooked things like mince-pies, seasonal biscuits and cookies and small Christmas cakes as much as anything !

Poor little mites, they must be overwhelmed with gifts, must make them so confused!

Christmas should not reach the shops until November, now is much too early.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
