Wow. When I hear it that way, it's a crazy thought. I love Christmas but I'm so not ready yet. However, I AM ready for Halloween!  :)

I am not ready for it. I'm just trying to get through my college classes this semester. Christmas will creep up on me again.

When it is put out there that there are only 17 Saturdays until Christmas, it does not sound like a lot of time is left. I don't believe in going into debt for Christmas so I am ready. I will buy, but I will not go over board. I mostly look forward to the time off work and school to spend with my family.

Thanks for the eye opener! This means less than seven for me because I intend to have my Christmas shopping done by October thirty first! I just found an offer for a twenty dollar Amazon card reward for signing up for Amazon prime on one of my rebate sites which is all the incentive I need (Plus the first month free)! My goal was to completely avoid the malls this year and do all of my shopping on line. I have made up a partial list of things that I want to purchase for loved ones and will concentrate on that over the next two to three weeks. I had ordered a few things from over seas last year and did not receive them until two weeks after Christmas. By having my shopping done by Halloween , I feel confident that everything should be in my hands before the Holiday.

When I was a kid, it felt like Christmas took forever to arrive. Now that I'm an adult with my own kids, it seems like Christmas comes around every few months or so! I guess that's the difference between being the receiver (kids) and the giver (adults) of Christmas presents. :snowman:
