If you don't yet know what you are doing at Christmas, why not?

[Nextphonewontbesamsung]

If you haven't planned everyone's presents (never mind buying them).
The menu.
Who goes where and when.
What you are wearing.
What you are going to be doing on Christmas Eve.
And everything else ...

Why not? what is the reason for this?

I haven't given Christmas even a passing thought. It's only Mumsnet and the giant stacks of chocolate tubs blocking my way at the entrance to the supermarket that makes the word Christmas come into my head at this time of year.

I might pay attention to it in the last week of November when I buy my kids an advent calendar. Then first 3 weeks of December is fair game to get Christmassy.

Things is, to me this is normal. It isn't being disorganised or stressed or leaving it to the last minute. 3 weeks seems to be about the right amount of time to devote to doing Christmas. And I speak as the one who has mainly been the host for the past 20 years.

But am I unusual? Where are you my fellow people who are a bit more relaxed about Christmas?

I'll have to work at least one of Christmas Day, Boxing day and NY day, plus at least one of the weekends either side. Our rota won't come out until mid November at the earliest so can't really plan much until I've seen that. My folks live over 3 hours away though and I'll be gutted if I can't spend some time with them.
Presents wise the dc and dns only want cold hard cash these days so that's easy.
