When do I prepare for Xmas?

[whyiscakesodelicious]

Baby due early January 2022, have a DD who's 3. When should I get everything ready for Christmas just in case baby No2 comes early?! I have a feeling baby will come early....

Now. Not just because baby may be early but because everything just gets harder towards the end. More effort, less desire for stress.
Then you can put your feet up and watch Christmas films in Dec rather than Christmas shopping and wrapping.
I would include food shopping for non perishables and anything you can freeze if you have space (And can resist the temptation to eat).

Sorry, missed you have done this before. This is a great year for her. My DD was 3.5 the first time she got properly excited for Christmas, so much more than at 2.5! Enjoy her excitement.

I’m in similar position to you OP- baby due very end of Dec/start of Jan and a 3.5yo DC. I’ve bought all stocking fillers already and have started buying a few other bits. I’ve shared her Xmas list with family and will try and get rest of present buying for other family done by end of November. Like PP said I’m more concerned about being able
To just relax and put my feet up once we get closer to Xmas.
Online shopping certainly takes pressure off a bit though!

I’m due 12/12 - I’ve already bought and wrapped my kids presents and most family presents as well. I could not think of anything worse than trying to get in sorted in December, we also have 8 December birthdays as well 🙄🙈

I dont even have the excuse of pregnancy and I've already got the main gift for DS and DSS in the attic. Over half term DSS wrote his letter to Santa and helped write his brothers letter so will be aiming to pick up the majority of their presents in the next couple of weeks.
dS was due before Christmas and I was convinced he would be early. He went over and I ended up going into hospital on boxing day but having everything sorted and wrapped for DSS and the house done ect just took some of the pressure off if baba arrived unexpected.
