How is your Christmas shopping going? The more you can do before 1 December, the better. Why?

• it avoids the need to go to the shops during those crazy, busy December days (and nights)
• it spreads out the expense of Christmas
• you can save money if you buy things on special rather than the day before you need them
• you have more time to realise you forgot something and grab it before you actually need it!

Other than perishable foods, do you try to get everything bought before December?
