If I happen to see something in the shops now that I think would make a nice pressie for someone, I might buy it but I'm definitely not doing any 'deliberate' Christmas shopping for many weeks yet!

Apart from in the shops I haven't seen anything Christmassy yet. There is a house near me that is normally covered in decs. Actually I think that may be where the craze started. Around 20 - 30 years ago the owner put a Blue Marlin on his roof and loads of other decs and people came from miles to see it. And it wasn't even Christmas.
I do more home accessories than christmas decs. Last year I started collecting cushions and bought a red and white throw and I like to put battery operated fairy lights everywhere. I don't do a big tree any more, just a little one on a table. While I don't rush out looking, I buy nice things as I see them because otherwise they sell out. Haven't started making my own cards yet but I don't send many. I have really enjoyed making cards to give to two small good causes.
I've seen lots of decorations that have snow falling out of them - like this http://www.therange.co.uk/snowing-snowman-tree/christmas-trees/the-range/fcp-product/49446
Not saying I want one or even actually like them, just slightly obsessed with them (thing 1 would particularly love one).

I had my first 2 cards delivered today and as I had already sat yesterday and wrote out the ones I had post, I thought I had better send them off so I have, so second class post but plenty time, almost done on the pressies too but don't buy for many so that's a good thing. seen some lights outside folks houses and towns seem to have their lights on but I am not far ahead with that idea yet.
