Kind of looking forward to the havoc the MC's will cause when wrapping gets underway though; finally, OH will have an excuse for all his gifts to look like they were alive when they were wrapped!

Christmas tree promises to be interesting though...

Yes, I'm seriously wondering whether to bother with the Christmas tree this year, as all those baubles and shiny things are not going to stay on the tree for long...as Karen says, it could be interesting!

We have just wrapped eighty items for Merlyns xmas mystery tombola that he does every year for CPL funds,no ribbon involved & they got a bit bored with just getting sellotape wrapped round their paws,we have done all our shopping but I have decided that will have to wait,had enough of wrapping at the moment,did wonder if Racheal offers a wrapping service,elves or not hers looks far better than mine,with or without help....!

hehe, thanks! Finished Christmas shopping last week which is uber organised for me, but the wrapping is the fun part! Last year they were all decorated with cinnamon sticks, dried orange slices and holly berries - this year it's curling ribbon and silver bells

Decorating the Christmas tree is sure going to be interesting - will definitely have to have the camera on hand

The pics are lovely but im more amazed that people 1) have bought their xmas prezzies already, and 2) Wrap them so early!!!

Ooooops, that'd be me then!!!

How tragic would it be if I admitted that I did most of my Christmas shopping in the January sales - then put it in the loft for the year!!! Don't like fighting my way around the shops at the best of times, and certainly do anything to avoid it at this time of the year

I'll be all wrapped and finished in a few days so will be available for hire
