And yes, I admit to having purchased a few more miniature homes for my already quite elaborate Christmas Village scene.
But other than Example Numero Uno above (hyper-ready) and Example Dos (me…the eternally lagging behind daughter-in-law who makes weird sporadic purchases), I know of very few examples of families that are actually ready to start thinking about Christmas…much that have everything wrapped up …
