This afternoon one of my neighbors dropped in for a little visit. I put on a pot of coffee, made up a plate of cookies, and we went out to the screen room to sit and have a chat.
We talked about a the things that popped into our heads. It was a nice visit until...
I mentioned that I really needed to get myself together and out to the stores. I have a lot of Christmas shopping to do.
She looked at me and said "I can help you if you like. I have all of my shopping done."
Now I know she was offering to help out of the goodness of her heart but I just couldn't believe it. Then I found out that the gifts are already wrapped and tagged. What???
Who does that this early?
Actually I am a bit envious that she is totally prepared for Christmas this early.
Do you know anyone that is this organized? Are you ready for Christmas?

I did in the past, because we traveled often, when I had time during the year I bought presents and by the end of November I had everything ready. Many times we have been abroad the first two weeks of December. When you come back there is so much to do and no time to wrap presents.

I think it could be done little by little, it's also difficult to cram when it's very near. Usually we start to buy ingredients for the holiday foods first to avoid the grocery rush, prices also go up as it nears.
I think your friend is a little bit too early but I see nothing wrong with that, I think it's almost impossible to be 100 percent done, things always pop up on an important holiday.

@HazySue I know people who are like that, so neat and organized, sometimes too much for comfort, I wonder if it diminishes the excitement of a holiday, the Christmas rush in a way makes it exciting for me lol!

@louievill I love looking at the decorations in the mall. Sometimes I think you can be too organized.

@HazySue we just love Christmas too much to wait to do anything

I had to fight crowds and settle for something less than I wanted so I try to make sure I am ready at least two days before Christmas. I simply can't get organized anymore.

My best friend is like that. Always ready and so organized. She has already wrapped Christmas gifts already too while I have not even started doing the shopping.
