I went into Lowe's last week and had to wade thru christmas decorations to get to what i was after. mid october. they used to wait until after halloween at least.

59 days!

And I realise that lots of you get annoyed by Christmas preparations and decorations being about too early, but I have only one word for you...

























...scrooge. :)

I admit I've already bought 2 presents and decided on 3 more...

I haven't bought any presents yet. I'm only thinking about food right now. lol

Actually, I have thought about getting my boys surf skis for Christmas this year. It's a perfect present considering where we live now, and I know they love paddling them.

I don't know what to get Dazza though. I'm hoping there'll be some divine inspiration on that one. lol

I've started bookmarking gift ideas for the kids. But I won't even start thinking about food until we've finished the harrowing travel/schedule negotiations with the rest of the family.

*covers ears and sings loudly* Can't hear you. Can't hear you.

What about Boxing Day?? People forget it and it makes me sad....I love Boxing Day.....

You mean cricket day of course. :)

Why, did the Australian apprentices collect their pennies in a cricket box?

Nope, we all just watch cricket on Boxing day. Unless of course you don't like cricket, in which case you go to the beach or just be generally lazy. ;)

It is way to early to even think about talking about Christmas yet.

But, ahh, boxing day ... feast-bloated belly, stinking hot outside, stretched back on the couch with a few mince pies and maybe some leftover Chrissy dinner / beverages, six hours just kicking back .... nice.

57 days to go!

Almost time to start stocking up on Christmas lights!

Oh and ZenGum...it's never too early to talk about Christmas! Shame on you!!!

Bah, HUMBUG!
