SARATOGA SPRINGS, UT — Local wife Brittany Spencer was reportedly seen starting her Christmas planning for next year on December 26th.

"Never too early to start planning! I've already figured out what I'm getting for my mom, my sister, I've made lists for neighbor gift ideas, and looked at sales for stocking stuffers for the kids," Spencer told friends. "With all the hustle and bustle, it's good to get going early."

Spencer started her yearly spreadsheet the day after Christmas, making sure to create columns for all her relatives, neighbors, school teachers, church leaders, the postman, and acquaintances she met years ago.

"You never know from year to year who is going to need what. Sometimes things change over the months, and people's preferences shift around…and last year, three of the people I was shopping for died after I bought their gifts, which is a bummer, and a few people moved away. But buying everything early has its advantage!"

At publishing time, Brittany Spencer had already bought everything for next Christmas and was working on planning out the next year's Christmas.
