I’m a bit late with this one. So late, I haven’t had time to look for a photo so I’m going with an illustration:
It’s not the only thing I’m behind on. Christmas shopping barely started, when I’ve usually got most of it done by now.
Today it is exactly one month to Christmas.
Not panicking. Not panicking at all.

















I don’t do Christmas shopping…necessary children presents bought online and delivered. but that is all..I hate Christmas shopping!
Me too; I usually do it through the year.
Not worrying much about presents this year… have lots of cards to write.
Great green find.
Hugs and Blessings.
Arggh! I forgot about the cards!
Oh, that’s right, it’s nearly Christmas – breathe, breathe, breathe!
Cute green face!
Here, it was one month til Christmas yesterday (Germans give out Christmas presents on Christmas Eve). One less day for me to get everything sorted. And I’m making Christmas dinner for 9 before that – in two weeks in fact. Aarggh!
A glutton for punishment, I see.
I am slowly getting things together – but I had a wish list from Fraser that now has lots of telephone nos. scribbled on it!
4 parcels were delivered to France at half term. 2 Birthday and 2 Christmas.
Well-organised, I see!
I am one of those who rush into the shops at the very last minute.
Really have no interest this year.
No kids or grandkids here.
Christmas humbug.
I guess I’ll get around to it sooner or later.
I think you must have wandered into the wrong blog. We love Christmas round here
I do when it happens, but having it start 2 months early and all the commercialism and hype in the stores and on TV, really gets to me. It’s not what it was when I was a child.
I just got over Thanksgiving, I’m too tired for Christmas. I need another month. I say we postpone Christmas or we make time go much, much slower. I think the second one should do.
Fortunately, we don’t have that issue in the UK
A whole month: that’s 31 days: you’ll be fine.
Made your cake yet?
(gloat, gloat)
Gloat all you like – I am impressed, yes; but I don’t like fruit cake, none of us do
The Hub and I were the only people not to have any of our wedding cake. My mother refused to let me have a sponge tier.
I am giving silk scarves and neck ties this Christmas. Just wish I had bought more in India.
Lovely gifts!
Just went out yesterday to look for a tree with no luck. If I hadn’t been so tired on Thursday I could have stopped at any number of tree sellers in my daughter’s town.
We have an artificial tree but I would love a real one.
One month and all the flapping will be over for another year! Woo Hoo! Then we can get back to normal.
I like the flapping
Are you suggesting that there are people who actually go shopping before Christmas Eve?
Holy s**t! One month from today?!? Now you tell me.
That’s because you’ve been busy being a good fairy. There’s time…don’t fret.
I refuse to let panic set in. I will continue to breathe deeply and search my brain for ideas for gifts.
Oh gosh! I’m already behind on everything. I used to have our tree up by now and starting my shopping. Siiiighhh!
Yes, you are late. Your tree was up for Thanksgiving last year, wasn’t it?
Don’t worry about shopping – you have a month – a MONTH to shop! Have fun!
Only a month! Gasp!
I have never been in such denial about Christmas being a month from now. It always sneaks up on me, but this year I’m completely off. I actually think my blogging is getting in the way. Maybe in 2013 I’ll need to enter a program for blogging addiction. In the meantime, I am glad you can make me laugh…I need that!
Always a pleasure!
What, no green elf???
Oh! I wish I’d thought of that!
I am this photo! Presents arriving from online so thick and fast I’m sure I must have ordered at least twice for everyone I know and I haven’t even thought about cards yet … panicking? Totally! Nice to meet you – referred by Kate Shrewsday
Nice to meet you, too! I must send Kate her commission
If you have ordered twice, at least next Christmas is already sorted
Trust you to offer up the funny version.
