Waiting .. for my Chrisco

I'm meant to have someone at home today waiting for a delivery. Now this is one delivery I don't mind waiting for. My Chrisco hampers. Now for those of you who don't live in Australia (or New Zealand) wont have a clue what I am referring to.

Chrisco (short for Christmas Company) specialises in Christmas Hampers. You make weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments depending on when & how much you wish to pay.

I am NOT being paid for this post I just like the fact that I can get all my groceries for Christmas and a few extra bits and pieces (like presents) delivered to my door. Paying fortnightly (just like any ordinary bill) makes it so much easier than paying out a big lump sum at the check out and it beats the last minute rush to buy food for that special day! I'm all for anything that creates less stress.

I have only found one set back in getting my Christmas hampers delivered so early (you don't get a choice on what day they bring it to you, its whenever they are in your area) is that with so many yummy goodies to eat I find it hard to keep everyone, myself included, away from the food. In the past I have managed to leave one of the boxes unopened until about a week before Christmas. That way we wont eat ALL of it beforehand. Of course the frozen goods get put away immediately.

Do you get Chrisco or any hampers at all for Christmas? I would love to hear how you get ready for the holiday season.
