Unlike many people who begin planning for Christmas early November, I always ignore Christmas completely until the month of December begins. It is actually later than I intended to make a start, so I really need to do something about it now.
Christmas cards will be the first item on the agenda. There are very few that I will be giving out this year, so it will be a rather quick job. I have just checked and I have envelopes and pre scored card, which means there is no need to purchase anything else.
I shall print a few cards off tonight and probably give them out tomorrow.Next I shall look at stocking up on groceries and a few extras, which I intended to do a while ago but never got around to.

@Marilynda1225 I like the idea of a banana cake, but where do you buy a cake tin that shape?

I mailed mine out this week so I am feeling pretty proud of myself.

@BelleStarr Strange, I find an ordinary stamp is sufficient for delivery in the UK.

I think good old eCards are fine. Just pick and choose or create your own. This is the green way to go. I think it is a good idea to make it a green Christmas and send out electronic cards.

@fishtiger58 I seriously begrudge paying so much for a small piece of card with a little printing on it.

@Asylum that's a great idea, however as I have said often I am so not computer savvy. So I do it the old way and mail snail mail.

I bought some cards but haven't written them out yet. You would think I wouldn't procrastinate since I only send out about a handful.

I have not bought a card for almost 15 years now. It was such a pain spending time trying to select appropriate ones, which usually had very little inside anyway.
I find designing and printing my own much easier and at least I can personalise them.

I stocked up on groceries when they were having pre-Thanksgiving sales. Of course, I froze most of the perishable stuff, unless I ate it.

@Asylum Our holidays are stretched out, so it makes shopping easier.
