Lol Dawn... You are ahead of yourself !
Will they keep them wrapped if you send?

We brought presents home one October when we were visiting from abroad. Come Christmas we just sent cards out and mother-in-law thought it strange that we hadn't sent a gift, but said nothing. About 7th January she suddenly woke in the middle of the night and remembered that she'd put the hand delivered gifts in the bottom of her wardrobe........

The post office have a list of last posting dates for all over the world, check the list and send them nearer the time.
I couldn't wait for Christmas if I got a pressie this early ! xx
You are organised. I've got two things sat on a shelf for someone, don't know who yet!

Can't bear to think about it at the mo, too much else going on for that! Will start cards in November/early December and start getting gifts if I see something suitable after October.
I wonder how much people will cut back this year?
