Why is that? It's because in mylife I always begin Christmas time on the 28 of October.
I will tell you why. In October we have four birthays: first my nephew, then one of my girls, then mine and in the end, on the 27, it's my uncle's.
So, till his birthday, it's not time for Christmas - well, officially, because I don't tell anyone that in September I'm already strolling in all the shopping sites I can looking for signs of that blessed season.
Anyway, now we arrived at Christmas time !! 🎄
So, what am I doing now?
Besides singing Rudolph on top of my lungs, I will make a list of presents - that I have already some bought since September it's a thing that nobody needs to know. 😄
I will go fetch all the wrapping papers left over from last year - oh joy - and the ribbons and tags also.
That way I can begin wrapping the already bought presents, which is an activity that I like so much, while listening on youtube to all the Christmas songs I can find, mainly the more vintage ones.
This one is my favourite for the wrapping activity:
It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas
Then I will beging thinking about the food for Christmas, the Eve and the Day.
I will make a list of the groceries, the cod, the meat, the potatoes, cabbage and pumpkin for the soups, the flour, sugar and all the trimmings for desserts - lots of them! 😀
And I will make a list too for the non perishables and non food related, like nice Christmassy napkins and some more little decorations that I can't resist to buy every year. And I say little ones because I think I have enough decorations.
And another thing that I want to do is a good overall cleaning and I will make a list for it too.

I love this! I used to start shopping in September when my girls were little and ended up driving around with gifts in my trunk until sometime in December. It's just me now and I live in a small apartment so decorating is small scale now. I've got to tell you I love the vintage pics you used here. I love looking at nostalgia on Pinterest.
Thanks so much for sharing with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend. I'm so happy you're here.
I'm sorry to only answer you now, I had some problems with the comments. Thank you for your comment.
