Any short story submissions to the womags should've been posted/emailed off in August as they work up to 3 months in advance. I sent two off yesterday because I edited them to suit the winter period and thought better to send on the off-chance than have them languish for another year on my hard-drive. I got an automated reply for one of them and a short 'Thanks for the sub' for the other so I know they arrived safely.
Talking of Christmas, while I was doing some research for my story, I came across this website Called The Literary Gift Company, they have some lovely little gifts to suit your literary friends or relatives. Love this mug. I may buy it for myself. Though maybe it should read 'Go Away I'm Writing'!

Hi Sue. I actually submitted one of my Christmas stories in June this year! - knowing how long some of the magazines are taking to make decisions. And I haven't heard yet ...
However, I had one accepted by P.Friend in January! I sent it last August, presumed by December that it was too late, but they accepted it on 6 Jan and I assume they're going to use it this Christmas!
Good luck with your stories.
Aaah! Scream! What a horrible thought that Christmas is on its way....
