I've started planning for Christmas. Over the last couple of weeks I've been doing a lot of de cluttering so that hopefully by December the house is perfect

Going to start Christmas shopping for dcs next week just the sticking bits and bobs. Yesterday I ordered :
4x Christmas duvets for dcs
4x Christmas fleeces
4x Christmas cushions
Seasonal duvet set for us
Room decorations for dd1 (she wants a red and silver theme this year)
LED pillar candles

Also planning some DIY/decorating in oct/Nov, hoping to re paint the kitchen and ds1/2 bedroom needs a complete overhaul
I know it's 'only one day' but I love Christmas !

Of things in my "basket" on Amazon, oh and I've got some hand soap and matching hand creme!

I'm not quite as rigorous as you but I am starting a declutter of the house this week and am going to look for some Christmassy bedding and pjs. Also working on my Christmas list of presents for everyone :)

I did buy a tub of celebrations but ate them !

The local garden centre has all their decorations up so will be going this weekend to have a look/buy a few bits! I get so excited about Christmas and this year I'm even excited about all the planning !

Every year I say I'll be different but I just can't help myself! Going to test out a veggie bit roast next week! How sad do I sound!

I sorted out the Christmas bedding in the linen cupboard yesterday and have made my list of people for gift buying. Already have two of my nieces and my sister done.
October is awash with expensive birthdays though so will really begin at the beginning of November.

The living room is currently being redecorated, new floor and new suite should all be here by November. I can't wait!

Some presents are bought, I have young children so have to start early. The big ticket items will be bought in November.

I am hosting this year for the first time so want to have as much as possible done so that I can concentrate on food.
