Personally I refer to it as Winter Festival.

 

I've bought a present for my gf, but nothing else just yet. I hope to get it all sorted out online very soon.

 

For me I can't decide if I'll ask my folks to chip in and help me get a 360 or if I'll get Animal Crossing on the DS and a couple of bits and bobs.

We usually "trim up" around the 5th december....I dont know if we'll be getting a real tree (they smell the best when you come down stairs in the morning)

 

Santa will be bringing me

 

A drum Kit (which we have orded and arrived)

Mario kart + usb dongle (" ")

Some magic tricks :) (" ")

I was thinking about GUN but i dont know if its any good....but there you go.

I'm living away from my parents, so there's no christmas spirit or decoration in this house. I'll see if I can get some money to buy something for my parents and I'm going to ask for Mario & Luigi, maybe Santa can hear me :)

Not done any shopping yet, need to find time to. Trying to organise it with friends but its going nowhere fast. And as far as a list it consists of the following so far;

 

Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing

Rufus Wainwright - Want

The Movies

The £33 PS2 I got a month ago and is sat in my room

 

If santa is feeling really generous I'd like my PC back too.

I dont get into the spirit until the 15th. .

 

I'm with you on this one, Foxy. No Christmas tree until the weekend closest to the 15th. Christmas music is acceptable at the start of December though.

 

Putting a tree up now is way too early, even if it is the first Sunday of advent, wait until December, at least.

 

I've now decided I want a new phone. There's no way I'll be getting an Xbox 360 or iPod Video, they're just too expensive. :(

I've started my christmas shopping, got a couple of things yesterday. We haven't put the decorations up yet, probably will in the first week of December. I can't wait for christmas this year and a trip home to my family.

I haven't got anyone anything yet and don't have a clue what I'm getting them.

 

So I've decided to be simple (and cheap) and only spend thought on my girlfriends present and buy everyone else chocolates.

Ahh Christmas has come at the worst time. I now have to buy a ton of presents (well cheap things for my family :heh: ) and have no money. I thought about giving my mum a CD I downloaded from the computer but then I might look cheap. Especially if she gets me something expensive and I've ended up spending 50p on a blank CD to burn it onto

Damn, what is it with you people putting up Christmas decorations so early? There are 12 days of Christmas, not 30.

i got all my presents bought a month ago, spent a damn fortune - about £70 per person. i didn't really want much tho, just a few cds or sumthin would do me rightly.

Sure, there's getting into the Christmas spirit, but then there's also getting sucked into what Christmas is steadily becoming - a masquerade for commercialism. If it wasn't for high-street stores starting their Christmas advertising so early every year, Christmas wouldn't even be on anyone's minds until at least December.

We usually put the tree up on Christmas Eve, or the 23rd. And it's always a real tree; none of that fake plastic nonsense. ;)
