In one of those 'cheapy' card shops - a whole aisle of them.
I get that many people spread the cost throughout the year (every year I mean to do this!) but why would this be necessary for CARDS!!
Isn't August 16th too early?

I saw some in a shop the other day and had to do a double take. I love christmas and have got lots of presents already, but even I thought cards in the shops now is mad!

Christmas falls on the same date every year, so I have never understood the last minute panic, as though its suddenly been announced what day it will on.

I have major Birthdays coming up in October, November and December. I have started buying for Christmas and Birthdays.

It means that I can go out and enjoy the decorations and events without having to fit in shopping, on top.

I am determined to go to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park this year ( I live in Liverpool).

The less money you have, the more you need to plan and buy in advance.
