Be gentle. This is the Holiday forum after all, LOL. 

 

So we’re in October now. I’ve gotten a good start on my Christmas shopping and have the gifts for our of town recipients bought. 

 

I was actually thinking about sitting down this afternoon and wrapping those gifts and getting the shipping boxes for those done. 

 

I did this last year and stacked the shipping boxes (4) in the corner of our office. When it was time to ship them, the weekend before Thanksgiving, I was ready to go. I’m thinking about getting them ready, but I will say this is early, even for me. 

 

Or, I might address our Christmas cards. I bought them last month. I usually address them one day, stamp them and put the return address label on them another day and then sign them and put any notes in them the day before I mail them. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Too early to wrap Christmas gifts?
