I went to buy groceries today and what did I spy? Christmas wrapping paper.
Sure I buy into the crass commercialism of the holiday season and I'm all for making a buck but it's only the middle of August for crying out loud!

I hate when I see xmas stuff in the stores also.
On the other hand, it's all I can do to not put "Only X more shopping days 'til xmas," in my auctions starting in September.

We do all our gift shopping on the internet.
Our Xmas shopping is almost done.
We have a 2 young collectors, that internet sellers, ( eBay sellers )in the field they collect, that have not found the quality in the collectible we want. When they do, they will send it to us, along with the bill. It will then be over.

I just did a major Christmas layaway for my Daisy Girl Scouts - and I haven't even met them yet! I got adorable Barbies for $3. No sense in passing that deal up!
eBay has made Christmas so very interesting. I pride myself on creative gifts - eBay just makes it soo much easier.

I quit christmas entirely many years ago...It's gotten WAY out of hand and the point has been lost completely. It used to be just about a month that drove me crazy, now it's 2-3 months of hell! What has gotten into people anyway? But I'll gladly sell stuff to them.

I didn't finish my instructions above...
After you spend all of Mr. Potato's money, then give him a new wallet.

Well, it won't be long now until the wrapping paper is followed by those stupid hip-gyrating Santas. Bleah.

Helen:
Ever since I opened this thread, I keep hearing Grandma got run over by a reindeer in my head.
You could be right...time to check with the audiologist.
MrsS:
I'm sorry, I peek at your man gyrating every November. Everytime I walk by he calls to me. I stop. I stare. I admire his cowboy hat. For weeks I can't get him out of my mind. I simply can't resist.
Please forgive me.
FWIW, he never looks twice at me.
He only has eyes for you.

Zoomin, you are hilarious! Enjoy him - see, you got my father-in-law. He's single, Mom left him for the head elf a few years ago. I'm married to the son that doesn't want to go into the Christmas business
