I totally get in the spirit of x-mas. The whole month of December, I run around saying gimmee, gimmee, gimmee to everyone I see. I don't have kids so I still get to act like one.

How about Surprise Holiday Fairy?


And Sian, what is next to my name? I have a pair of leopard print heels with a red sole next to your name.

I think santa's more pc than fairy these days

Yeah, push come to shove I could see myself as a secret santa... but not so much the secret holiday fairy.

Damn, why did I get a Winnie-the-Pooh address book from you for Secret Santa? I mean, I love it but...

Just little things for teachers and the new babysitter.


Prezzies for everyone!

I've started Christmas shopping already AND! The local shops already have mince pies on sale! :eek:

I have a list of things to purchase via the power of the internet and even have a list compiled of who's getting what this year. I know where i'll be and with who... I've NEVER been this organised about Christmas, EVER :eek:

I know it annoys the majority of people as it isn't even October yet but has anyone else started?

not this year, but really nowadays i have sooo few gifts to buy.


for years and years it was my *rule* to be completely done with my shopping BEFORE thanksgiving - the last thursday in november for you non-yanks. i always wanted to FULLY enjoy the holiday season, and rushing with crowds not my idea of fun. so i'd have my shopping done, usually all my cards written out....and december would be pure blissful fun!

this year, i will probably 'shop' the first week of december b/c hubby and i plan a week's vacation then. i have all of 4 people to buy for. used to be much more, but it seems as i get older, more and more scale back. wule i loved buying and giving gifts...still do really...it just makes sense. even now, i really only 'buy' for 3....as my mother does not want *stuff* so we usually make a donation in her honor, GCs for her fave restaurants, salon, etc....and a small usuable gift at most. so my one sis and her hubby, and my hubby....but for my guy this year we just got a whole new flat screen TV, upgraded surround sound system....so probably very small gifts, if any. i think i may skip cards this year. i always say i will, and never do...but i think it just might happen. just focus on the season....and the TREE! i love, love, love christmas trees.


and yea...blathered on....mea culpa ....but on point, no...you're not odd at all. i think it's GREAT to take the time and thought, not feel rushed...and when the holidays come around, just enjoy it ALL!

If only I had fewer people to buy for
This year I have more than usual! lol Being with Dave has increased my gift giving 2 fold! I don't mind though, I really love giving presents and it's my first years as 'part' of his family so i'm all excited

I pretty much (after two days solid of trawling the net) know what i'm buying and when. It's gonna be a tight squeeze but i'll be ok I just hope everyone likes what they're getting...

You know, after all the presnt talk I'd forgot about the tree and the decorations, the food and the parties... damn I love Christmas

haha, but please don't tell me you make your cats wear wigs... If so, I will probably have to embark on a hostage rescue mission to free them from your evil clutches.

My cats won't even wear a collar, no way.

I still have to figure out what to get you, but I know it won't be cat clothes.

years ago we bought for ALL family members. we don't have 'big' immediate families, but add in the kids, etc....it was a lot. i also used to buy for friends. over time, it just seems so *much*....and it naturally got simpler, smaller.....i like it. i still LOVE to buy gifts, but i usually go crazier for birthdays....or gifts for no reason are a real fave.


however, for you especially this year...i can imagine the excitement. i know i felt the same way, way, waaayyyy back when me and mr.dream first coupled up.


i LOVE christmas decorations. BIG TIME. and sure...the food, the drink.......the weather.....NYC dressed for the season....beautiful! i am not a religious person by any stretch, but yea...i love christmas.


HAVE FUN!


oh, and i have really NO idea what i want to buy anyone....but i know i will.

I second that. Cats shouldn't be in kitty clothes! :eek:

eyedclaar, i'll help in the rescue mission, should one have to come to fruition.

No offense Trix

actually, Trix is getting me shoes in exchange for Ed, what are you getting me?!

Your gift to Trix will make all the rest of us look like chumps. I mean how are we supposed to compete with that? I might as well not get her anything. She would just smile politely and then go play with her new Ed.

And now I have to get you something too? Oh man, I guess I'm glad I have so many shopping days left... Time to get all those children out of my acid mine and get them back to work in my sweat shop.

Oh if your putting kids to work in sweatshops I'll have me some more shoes please! For your troubles I might kidnap you a shiny new Stone... but no promises

(DISCLAIMER FOR LE MODS - I will not be kidnapping ANY member of Pearl Jam for Christmas or any other occasion... I won't be kidnapping anyone infact... i'm just trying to get new shoes... please don't ban me OR call the authorities. I prove no threat and would like to continue spouting my shite on here daily. Thank you for your time.)

I will take a new Stone. In fact, I'll even let him play lead guitar in my band... and possibly sing once in a while.
