Well for me the same here no toys as my youngest will be 18, however even before that, I never ever thought of christmas till the day after thanksgiving, we as a country rush rush too much, Christmas stuff was out in target a month ago, give us a break and enjoy the holidays before like Halloween and especially Thanksgiving which to me is a wonderful holiday its all about the food and family and what we are thankful for. Again I do know people who start shopping and wrapping in August, I just cannot believe it, to me I need the cold weather and the right time, which is the day after Thanksgiving, sure it can get crazy , but that is half the fun and also I am always waiting for the better sales as we get closer and closer. Peace. Catherine
