Same here. I won't mail them until December though, but my photographer gets backlogged quickly.

Plus, the novelty wears off before Dec even begins.

But then again, I've been listening to Xmas music on my headphones at work since the day after Halloween and I'm already haunting the candy aisle at the drugstore for Xmas-specific candy. So I might be beyond help.
