Default I know its early but.............

I am really looking forward to Christmas. I know we are just at the end of August and its some time away, but I just cant wait.

This will be the first Christmas in such a long time, that I am actually looking forward to the day.

I think I have my Mojo back

I think christmas will be really fun this year as my son turned 3 a couple of weeks ago, and now knows the fun stuff is in the wrapping paper, rather than just playing with the paper!

I do enjoy christmas, its just the build up and the cost, i need to be more proactive and get organised sooner. One of my friends has already brought and wrapped a christmas present

Is that your house? It looks fabulous! I'm looking forward to Christmas too ... I'm going to tire myself out this year so I don't wake Mum up at 6.00am!

I just lurve Christmas! The kids just make it for me, and after we go to my brothers for Xmas dinner, we spend a couple of days relaxing in our PJs just watching tv, and eating all the junk we like! I am not very organised this year as yet, I only have 2 presents in as yet, and nothing for my kids but once I get them back to school I will be shopping big time,although I do have an idea in my mind what I'll be buying!

I love Christmas too. I'm just a big kid who will never grow up!
Wow that house looks amazing, is it yours?
I love this time of year when the autumn comes, the leaves give the most glorious display, the sun is more gentle and we can all look forward to the festive season!

I love Christmas, I love going to shopping centres and seeing the decorations up, snuggling up warm when it's cold outside and watching Oliver on TV

The picture isn't of my house...but it is beautiful

I am glad to see that I am not the only one who is excited, I used to love Christmas sooOOooOOoo much, the prospect of it would have me excited for months, but after we lost my brother it has never been the same.

This year I am determined to make it special for everyone and I am really excited about it, the whole friends and family part, its a special time.

I always shop early for Christmas, it spreads the cost out a little better than doing it all at one time and I have so many to buy for.

I am a bit panicky as I'm so far behind this year, I normally have about half in by now
