I thought it started later too. Normally Xmas stuff is out when halloween is on. I'm like FFS my bday is the 2nd Nov can't you wait until AFTER then lol.

I did get a surprise when I walked through the mall the other day and saw decorations but that was because I hadn't actually been to the mall for awhile lol]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 12:41:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1200319&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1200319 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : I was shocked when our local shopping...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199903&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199903 Author: AandCsmum

I was shocked when our local shopping centre started putting up their decorations. I thought that was early but then maybe I'm out of touch lol]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2010 20:11:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199903&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199903 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : I don&#039;t think the advertising...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199871&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199871 Author: hannibal

I don't think the advertising has been as bad this year.

A few favorites this year are two barbies and a car, and the plastic play food and a learning computer. ]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2010 19:24:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199871&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199871 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : Yeah I didn&#039;t think it was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199642&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199642 Author: EmDee

Yeah I didn't think it was so bad this year. It seemed to start up after Halloween, which is 'only' 2 months out from Xmas.

Ooh the Mr Potatohead is a great idea, my kids love theirs. Also Thomas trains or any kind of 've-ki-kool' (vehicle ). My MIL bought Ollie a truck that he can take apart and he gets hours of entertainment from it (though he may have been closer to 3 when he got that).]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2010 11:55:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199642&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199642 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : seems about the same to me Later...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199627&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199627 Author: Shezamumof3

I actually thought it had started a bit later this year too! Though I don't mind at all, I'm hanging out for 1st December to put the tree and decorations up. Christmas shopping is done but I'm looking forward to wrapping all the presents! ]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2010 10:39:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199613&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199613 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : I think it&#039;s later too....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199569&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199569 Author: lizzle

Its actually not that far away now and I certainly wou;dn't class now as "starting early"!!!]]> Sat, 13 Nov 2010 23:08:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199498&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199498 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : Susiec wrote:As you are from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199469&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199469 Author: _SMS_

Just wanted to say Susiec that my DD plays with her blackboard so much. I gave up on paint it was too messy but she writes on the blackboard everyday. Its great for teaching stuff too, we teach her her shapes etc.]]> Sat, 13 Nov 2010 22:11:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199469&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199469 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : As you are from UK Fi, i am surprised...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199397&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199397 Author: catisla

Bahahahaha i agree. And just minutes ago i was thinking of putting our tree up now. I love Christmas. It makes me happy

A few things im getting my 2 year old...

Outdoor table & chair set with umbrella
Lawnmower - so she can help daddy mow the lawns
Wheelbarrow with watering can, pot, garden tools
Mr Potato Head

We love being outside most days so have brought her things to use outdoors.

She would love a magna doodle too, but im leaving that for Birthday ]]> Sat, 13 Nov 2010 19:16:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199374&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199374 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : The malls seem crazier this year...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199351&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199351 Author: Lisha

i thought this year has been quite reasonable compared to the usual september and october 'OMG XMAS IS ONLY 3 MONTHS AWAY'

but yeah is ridiculous how early they start with the radio and ads n all that]]> Sat, 13 Nov 2010 18:04:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199340&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199340 <![CDATA[Is it me or is Christmas starting earlier : So I was watching TV the other...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36662&PID=1199305&title=is-it-me-or-is-christmas-starting-earlier#1199305 Author: FionaO

So I was watching TV the other night and realised all the ads were Christmas ads and it just seems earlier than usual.

Anyway so this got me to thinking about xmas presents and I am stuck for ideas, so what is your 2 year olds favorite gift??
