Is Anyone Else Already Making Plans for Christmas?

[ninajay]

Nah, it's way too early too think about plans for Christmas

[gennjen]

No ! It's 5 months away. I usually do it 1 month before.

[yaayme]

LOL...No.

Too early to think about X-mass, but I will have some
extra FC money - Hooray --

I have to say I am already thinking about some paintings I want to do for Halloween!!!  I'm not gonna hate on your Christmas spirit!!

Usually, I try to start gathering presents for my kids in January when there are sales. That didn't happen this year. I still haven't started collecting them yet. I hope to get some money put together so that I can soon. I have 6 kids, so even a few presents each takes time.

Christmas for me is easy.  I give gift cards or get their lay-a-ways out.  My family is particular.

you must take it one day at a time

[SherylsShado]

Absolutely not. It's just another day when you on't have family. People who keep reminding us of what we do9 not have are simply cruel.

I'm sorry for whatever the circumstance(s) you are going through at this time in your life.  Christmas doesn't have to be "just another day" though unless you really want it to be.  Certainly you have friends?  Perhaps you can think of some children whose parents are having a hard time and so the kids won't be having much of a Christmas...and help make their Christmas a little brighter?  Instead of focusing on what one doesn't have, be thankful for what one DOES have may brighten your holiday.  Be a "gift" to someone else who doesn't have any family and who might be feeling lonely during the holidays (whether it's someone in a nursing home, sick in the hospital, etc.)  You have the power to make not only your holiday season bright...but brighten it for others as well!!

I think gift cards are a great idea, especially for people who are picky or are hard to buy for. I like the lay-a-way idea, too.
