Thinking about them lately, curious if I'm late or early

Evolved over time, but now I shop earlier to allow online shopping for most of it. Yea, I already bought my first gifts and there would be more if I have ideas …. Although I’m sure I’ll still be scrambling at the last minute.

Anyway, I’m also offended that commercial Christmas starts earlier and earlier every year - why does my grocery have more Christmas cookies than Thanksgiving? So I’m not actively shopping until then. I usually don’t get caught up in Black Friday, but that’s a good date to keep Christmas shopping from taking over

My sentiments exactly.

I'd love to be struck with creative ideas sooner, but I also resent commercial Christmas creeping into October.
