It's how many days 'til Christmas???!!!!

So, here we are, in an Autumn season that could sometimes be mistaken for winter.  During the 'summer' months, instead of purchasing mix and match bikinis for my holidays, I was searching for Father Christmas and snowman embellishments to attach to my Christmas style box cards!!

We have not yet reached Halloween or Bonfire Night, but already my diary is filling up with Christmas themed selling events, as well as the work's Christmas lunch. My eldest has begun his present list in earnest and I am secretly fretting because I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet. Am I the only person who feels like time is running away and that Christmas is starting earlier each year?

   Please tell me I'm not alone in this.....please??!!!!!
