Shopping started, and put a couple of YouTube carols on when I started writing Christmas cards (you left that out so I should get an extra point) with a mug of mulled wine - made with half a bottle of red that needed using up, plus some very out of date mulled wine spice ‘teabags’ .
Still v nice though!

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 22/11/2021 10:00

Reading Nigel's Slater's Christmas Chronicles again so I'm having 2 point for that.

Baking the cake today so that's another 1 point.

Mince pie for breakfast 1 point Grin

Lost count from last time. 40ish.

30 and I was feeling stressed because not done any wrapping or finished buying presents yet! (Normally done all that by end of October at latest)!

MrsPear · 22/11/2021 13:55

4 points - lots of planning and just starting.

CommanderBurnham · 22/11/2021 15:59

12, but most of it is mince pies, and all of it unintentional

Youknownothingsnow · 22/11/2021 16:02

4 Grin

MrsMcCluskeysCat · 22/11/2021 16:05

7, I've bought 2 presents, our turkey is in the freezer and went to the light switch on.

mam0918 · 22/11/2021 17:09

I feel super organised but still only have 1 on this list.

The tree goes up this weekend
Still got little bits to buy like Annuals
Wrapping starts in December once the trees up
Cant buy food a month out it would go off
Santa and days out also in December

I wore my jumper if that counts, I don't have a 'xmas' one just a normal one I can wear on any cold day.

HoseMeDownWithHolyWater · 22/11/2021 17:20

Decorations will never go up before December, though.

@steppemum

5. I have started buying things I watched a Christmas movie on daytime TV in October when I was ill.

Christmas music - I play in a brass band, we got our Christmas folders last week and started practising!

Bonus points for brass band.

@Porthia

17! Not totally mince pie related.

Do you get points for panicking about how much money you’ve already spent on Christmas presents while being simultaneously worried that you’ve not bought enough or evenly spread the gifts. If so I definitely get that one!

Of course, I get this point too.

I forgot...I’m sure I also need extra points for already having brought out my winter/Christmas mugs. — we’ve moved house and our usual mugs no longer go with the aesthetic of our home and they were starting to really annoy me. So instead of buying different mugs just now, I decided to bring out the ones that would’ve come out on Dec 1st anyway.

Chunkymenrock · 22/11/2021 18:50

Se-vennn!

Disfordarkchocolate · 22/11/2021 19:03

Well thank you @Hetyanni.

I declare myself the winner with the prize of a jar of cranberr sauce I ordered today.

Disfordarkchocolate · 22/11/2021 19:04

^ cranberry 🎄

DockOTheBay · 22/11/2021 19:13

12 mince pies 😂

6 for Xmas shopping started and completed (although I'll probably think of a few more things in the next couple of weeks!)
