Are we the first? . . .

I got home from work today to find this on the doormat . . .

. . . Our first Christmas card catalogue.

Well it is August, after all! To some people this may even be a trifle late for them. I know some people like to do their Christmas shopping in the January sales and have everything wrapped, labelled and stored in a cupboard before the end of February. Where's the fun in that?

I refuse to hear the 'C' word in our house before the beginning of Advent. Of course, that means I do have the usual stress of trying to get all the cards written, presents wrapped , food bought and tree decorated in a mad panic at the last minute but then it wouldn't be Christmas without a near nervous breakdown in the third week of December, would it?

my heart used to sink into my boots when the "Back to School" adverts started on the day we broke up. I'm over 30 and I still get a vague sinking feeling when I go into WHSmith's during August.
