    I start bothering about christmas in december, dont always have a tree up, am self employed so no night out to go to apart from a couple of meals with a meet up group I belong to.

    I appreciate why there is the hype, for people who have kids, but I spend what I can afford, dont get into debt over it and cant see why theres such a rush to start selling mince pies in August in shops.

    My tree last year was a mini one from poundland.

    We still have four weeks of summer left so let's enjoy it before worrying about winter.:p

    Summer isn't over yet. We still have autumn, Hallowe'en and Guy Fawkes Night to come before Christmas. Not saying don't plan and budget for it but do enjoy the time at hand. Life is too short to be wishing it away. :)

    I hate the hot, sticky weather so can't wait for the nights to start drawing in, we had a much cooler evening the other night and I really enjoyed drawing the curtains and getting cosy :D

    I'm making headway on the Christmas shopping. I have presents for both mums, SIL, DSS'S GF, DS's half sister and also the stepkid's half sister.

    I can't believe summer is nearly over :eek:

    That is still a third of a year. Calm down - it's one day of the year and you do not have to ignore the next 12 weeks at the behest of one day.
