    Hi. Just a quick question.. FOr Nov. I have already got half the things I need for this swap, and most of them are focused around Christmas.. I then thought, there maybe some people who don't celebrate Christmas, because I took Holiday as Christmas?
    Yes?
    Laura

  • Debra Andruska

    I always take "Holiday" as Christmas! But, I didn't start the swap, so will let MKruby answer the question. Has anyone started Christmas shopping? I haven't. I'm soo behind this year, I'm still digging up bulbs (canna, dahlia, elephant ear) from my yard, and cleaning up. It was so windy today, my yard is filled with leaves, you can't even see the grass.
