I understand cards being out, cause the overseas mail closes really early. But decorations must be slow retail week.

Good grief already! But we haven't even had Halloween yet!!! And I haven't even finished the Layby for Sam's Xmas pressies!
I refuse to get caught up in the Xmas madness until at least November....or October. Gah!!!

The international mail doesn't close that early. I always send my cards out around the 15th Dec (cos i'm so slack) and they still get to the UK in plenty of time.
I refuse to think about xmas till after my birthday.

Oh yes, I saw candy canes at farmers last saturday - so exciting!
I  Christmas
I am planning to send my nephews Christmas presents up to them next month and DH and I have been exchanging emails to figure out what to buy Michaela.
Oh and we've also been discussing where to put the Christmas tree this year and I wrote up the first draft of the Christmas menu and allocated dishes to family members. None of them seem to appreciate my organisational skills yet but they'll be thanking me come boxing day... they always do.

i used to work as a Christmas Goodies (wrap, card etc) and Calendar buyer and was always surprised at how many people buy next year calendars in July!!! and Christmas stuff in sept. Basically if you put it out in the shops, someone will always buy it......it's crazy through.

Oh my gosh. We don't even think about Xmas until after dd's birthday.....must be more organised this year. I really want to get the UK pressies off surface mail this year as postage is so rediculous now. Oh, and dd's birthday is late Nov so I really must be more organised....hehe.
