Yanbu.
Way too early.

Way too early, but beware. I took up card making last summer and by the time I figured out what I needed for Christmas, all the good stuff was sold out! I couldn't believe it. It seems that all the experts on YouTube start early and their followers start buying.

This year I am ready. Love card making, and even raised some money for our favorite charity at work by selling bundles of five cards at our silent auction.

OP, you are only unreasonable for using the stupid voting thing on your thread, not re the subject.

Made me laugh though

I think in this context YABU. Crafters need to start really early to get everything done by Christmas without cramming it all into the last month and making themselves miserable, so I think a craft shop is about the only place that can rightfully talk about Christmas just now!

I make kids dresses, if I want anything ready before Christmas when people start buying presents I have to start now. Especially since most people start Christmas shopping late October to end of November! So YABU

YABU. The magazines will be put soon enough because if you're making things you have to start early. And there's some of us who plan/buy things year round to spread the cost and make it manageable 🤶🤶

Nah, I already got a Christmas venues one about 2 weeks ago.

I think YABU. Lots of people make 100s of cards to sell at events so need plenty of time to start preparing.
