THERE ARE 55 days left until Christmas.
Although Halloween is only upon us today, most supermarkets have already begun decking the halls.
While some people like to get their Christmas shopping out of the way months in advance, there are others who like that last minute panic on Christmas Eve.
So, today we want to know… Have you started your Christmas shopping?

The amount of money people spend on their kids, even their grown up ones at Christmas is obscene. And only the best will do, no Pennys for them! all high end designer and brand name stuff. I have to listen to this sh*te at work now for the next six weeks, and even the week after. There is one woman who bragged about spending over three thousand euro on her three teenage children. We work in an office, non of us are well of here. Its sickening and wasteful. Indulged brats.
Would skip it altogether rather put what little money have towards a holiday then buy stuff none needs. Have kids so dont but I dont go mad like most do. How much food really do need buy . Greedy time .
Winter in summer. Summer in Winter.
have your say
