To feel rather smug I’ve just finished and wrapped all my Christmas presents

[LardLizard]

🎃

It's is definitely everyone's choice, but wrapping is definitely part of the build up to Christmas for me. I would hate to have it all done in October. Christmas music or a film on, mince pies etc. one of the best bits!

Before Halloween? 🎃
Why?
OTT

Present buying and wrapping is part of Christmas for me. Nothing done until after 1st Dec.

I am totally jealous that you have had the time and the cash to do this.

Do you do a monthly savings or something? I'm worrying about being able to afford presents in December, nevermind two months ahead.

Well done, OP!

I still have stuff to send abroad before I get to think about my UK prezzies. Must get skates on!!!!!

Another one with shagged. Can anyone tell my WHY these Christmas threads are not confined to the Christmas topic?

Op you say you feel "smug" and that everyone must be jealous.

It's clear that's not the case.

Many of us don't want to be wrapping in october.
A lot of us ENJOY wrapping near christmas.

Not enough info for peak smugness.

Eg many adults and DC were you buying for; and are any of the gifts exchangeable until after Christmas?

I like to get it all bought before December, if possible. I don't always make it though. Nice to have the odd thing to wrap later on, but I find I enjoy Christmas more if I eliminate as much as I can in advance and presents are the easiest thing to sort early doors. I can't do the Christmas dinner early, hahaha.

Where’s the OP gone?
I bet she’s off buying Easter Eggs for 2019😂

Yabu. Live in the moment.

what speakout said ^^

Feel smug if you want but I enjoy Christmas shopping and wrapping, and find them a fun part of Christmas prep. I'd hate to do it all now.

Reasons I wouldn't do this:

1. Are the receipts valid for exchange this far in advance?

1. No idea what DC would like, and I'm not asking in October.

1. Nowhere to put it - in December it can go under the tree.

1. No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I love christmas, but I love it in december. couldn't be arsed with it right now.

Only kidding !! Course I haven’t !!

I haven't even bought anything.

If I had I would not wrap them in October. I like wrapping near Xmas to help me get into the Xmas spirit. I would hate to do it now.

No, I feel sad for you.

I am pretty organised. I have done one small Christmas blast buying a few presents online and making a couple of cakes. I'll do a shopping day in Nov and one in Dec for last minute.

Christmas fun for me starts 01 Dec with trees up, baking and cracking open one of my many bottles of Bailey's. Wrapping as and when. The whole of Dec is to be enjoyed. You have peaked too soon my friend.

The OP can feel smug but most of us can feel smug for trying to enjoy Autumn instead.

Not sure what the point of this thread is.

I enjoy all of December. I do something lovely and Christmassy every day, but shopping (which I don't like at the best of times) is not included in that.

Weirdo.

Not sure what the point of this thread is

Clearly there isn't one as the OP now claims that she's 'only joking'.
Fuck me but there's some seriously brainless posting on MN tonight.

I’ve done some shopping but like other PPs I love to play Christmas music, pour myself a Baileys and wrap gifts. A lovely, atmospheric evening!
