When do you put your decorations up?

[Cruella DeVilla]

1st December and all that's left to do is post the cards and get hubby his main pressies but I am doing that in Florida, everything else is bought, wrapped, delivered and paid for (Don't like nasty credit card bills in January)! I hate the madness that is shopping in December but come the sales I find the spirit again. I buy all my cards and wrapping ready for the next year. I like good quality or handmade cards and find you get a good deal on them.(I made a few of my own this year but it is time consuming).

Thanks Julie,
Unfortunately, a couple of nasty argumentative "incidents" in the car on the way to school this morning have already resulted in threats to tear it down and throw it down the cellar steps!!!!

I suppose it is Xmas

Wow CDV you are organised, I haven't even bought my cards yet.[msnoo] Have only done about a third of my shopping and definately no wrapping yet. Having said that my youngest son has done his Christmas shopping and wrapped the pressies and my eldest is off late night shopping tonight. Maybe I could get them to buy each others pressies from hubby and I and then wrap them.[msnwink]

Just finished all my shopping - and its a wonderful feeling. Went to the trafford centre yesterday and got the lot done. Will be wrapping them this afternoon.

i cant believe how organized you all are!!! i have so much to buy and so many things to do!! havent written any cards yet, but have bought them! and definately havent wrapped anything yet!!!

[mizzy]

well i'm allmost done and dusted

thank the lord for internet shopping

i just need two more items to be delivered from amazon and once there wrapped thats me finished with the presents

i have placed my food order online with tesco and telephoned the butcher, ordered my door wreath and christmas flowers so i just have to sit back and relax until the doorbell rings then i can ask darling husband to put it all away

i am gonna nip out later and look for christmas garland for my fireplace i want one with little white lights that dont come with ugly green cord so i will probably drive the shop staff demented opening all the boxes
if i cant find a good fake garland my florist friend will have to sort me out with the real mccoy when she comes to do the staircase

Think I will start the decorations tomorrow[msnsmile]
