It's winter over here. So, of course, we've already been baking christmas stollen (because it's best when you leave it in a cold and dry place for at least two weeks before you eat it):
Besides, I already know what the kids will (or should) get for Christmas - this is for reasons of 'self-defense', actually: I know that their grannies usually buy Christmas presents in November, so I have to be early if I want to at least
try to have some influence on what they buy

. So, no, DGma, you're not early at all! It was high time for this thread.
