I agree! I won`t be putting any Christmas things up until the first week. I think it takes the feel of Christmas away if everything is already up so early.
Off to see your friends things :)

I can't - I just can't think about it yet...it's like I have a Christmas mental block...except where themed swaps are concerned. I listen to Frank and Bing at Christmas too...along with Celtic Christmas music.
I ordered cards from dear Gretel myself...looking forward to receiving them! All good recommendations...I have the soaps as well, they are AMAZING!!!
XOXO
With a little over five weeks to go, it will be here before we know it. I agree ~ hold off with the decorations, but shopping sometimes has to be done early..besides it's great fun. I will go check those sites..
teehee, Christmas fever hits you with all the subtly of a flying fruitcake upside the head..
Give into the Dark side young Robyn.. you are powerless to resist the tinsel and shineys!!
Peace, Kai.
Thanks for the links, Robyn. I just purchased some soaps from Ms Diva. My daughter likes special soaps and she has sensitive skin so I hope these are good.
I think I will join you in this online purchasing excursion.
As soon as I return from Girl guide camp on Sunday.
Have a great weekend Robs!

Yay - Christmas! I'm so excited. I'm having a tree trimming party next Sunday, just a little before December, and then the festive season madness starts for us - all our weekends are already booked - I'm so darn popular! Haha! Just kidding - it is crazy this year though, so much is on!
Cannot believe the year has flew past so quickly I lost track way back in June and now we are facing Dec...Chritmas rush...where has this year gone!Off I rush to view the sites you listed.Have a great weekend!hugs NG
Hi miss*R
This is such a tempting post. I stopped doing Christmas more than ten years ago. I was so overwhelmed by the financial side of it and by the confusing boundaries of who receives a gift from me and who is too far. I also have issues with *stuff* and *things*. For years now Christmas has been so relaxing and inexpensive and wintery.
But you and your host of faery friends here make me think that it might be possible to enjoy Christmas without making a total capitalist nightmare out of it. Hmmmm. You have given me pause to think.
I especially like Colette's items. Wonderful dolls!
My family celebrates Christmas in a variety of ways (its a half-pagan/half-Christian combo) and we usually have a loose theme. Last year four of our family, including me, spent some time camping on safari in Africa, so we cooked up a big African dinner instead of the traditional turkey. Another year we had a Spanish theme for a similar reason.
This year the loose theme is "SecondHand Christmas"--all gifts must be recycled in some way---I'm loving the flea markets and old bookshops this season.
We've talked about a "Homemade Gift" theme though. It would be quite challenging for some of us, but I could get into it if I had enough time to plan. :)
