As others have said, I just tend to buy things when I see them no matter what time of the year it is and keep them for Christmas. I don't wrap them until much closer to Christmas though, I just enjoy sitting in the lounge next to the tree with the fire blazing and wrapping presents, it really gives me the Christmas feeling!
Also, I get a lot of my Christmas shopping off Amazon as DVD's etc. are usually much cheaper on there. I order these things about a month before Christmas after I have had the chance to sneakily find out what everyone wants lol.
I always get my Christmas cards in January though in the sales, it saves so much money because you can get some really good quality ones that would usually cost a fair bit for less than a pound :)

I try to find unquie gifts so I start making a list about six months out and started shopping online last week. eBay and such.

I am try not to give too many autographs this year but I did get my GF a Comic that was signed by Nick Simmons, Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed. She loves their show Family Jewels and It's KISS related.

Can I ask, do you celebrate any other tradition (i.e. are you Jewish, Hindu, Muslim etc) or are you not religious at all?

Myself, I'm raised in a Christian culture, and I'm very traditional, but I don't believe. I celebrate Christmas because I feel the magic and love of the season, if that makes sense :) I like to buy gifts for my family, things I know they'll like. So I guess, I treat it kind of how Americans treat Thanksgiving.

I haven't started my shopping yet, but I usually do start around now so my eyes are peeled. This year I'll hopefully be in my own (first) home by Christmas, which means I get to put up my Christmas tree. I bought it years ago to use when I lived at my Dads. My room was bigger there, so I had my own tree. I havent used it for years because my room at Mums is too small. But every so often I'll buy decorations for it, just a few here and there. Crystal snowflakes from Stratford, when I went to the theatre for the first time. Just little things that will always be a reminder of significant events in my life. I cant wait to decorate it!

I love the dark nights as I like to walk my dog and check out everyone's outdoor decorations! Some of my neighbour's houses look like little Santa grotto's :lol: (Not so keen on the dark mornings myself as it means going to work in the dark :cry: )
