That's why I be warning everyone .....  

I actually think it's obscene that businesses etc start selling christmas stuff halfway through the year ...  

Mind you, I've already sent my hand made quilted gifts to friends overseas and put strict notes in the parcels that they are not to be opened until THE day (or the night before if observing the European traditional way).

Having said that, I have started making two special stockings now because there is so much I want to embellish them with, that I might not get them finished until 2018 because my schedule is so tight ...  

      *Christmas has been cancelled!*
