- Go to Christmas is coming...
Well, after reading this post, I bought a Christmas present while
shopping yesterday. It was an item I'd thought of getting for several years now but hadn't yet. Good idea to start early. If I keep it up, we won't end up with debt in January!

Great tips....
The only thing I would add is to simplify things. My Christmas goes so much better now that I simplify. I get the same gift for relatives living far away - These days a christmas CD. For office/school people, I bake. That works so well as few people take time to homemake cookies and candy - so I pick easy recipes that taste like they took hours to make and spend a weekend baking and baking, delivering my gifts fresh on Monday morning the second or third week of December. For my immediate family, now this the time I shop to get it all done before the rush also.....Thanks for the great post!

Editormum - I know that I should do this. I read every word and...
said to myself, "You Dodo, why don't you do this?" Christmas is always something that I procrastinate on. I don't know why. I just keep putting it off and then December is immeasurably stressful for me.
