Idiomatically, we often "Christmas is coming." (At least in the U.S.) There is nothing at all grammatically wrong with "Christmas is about to arrive," but since we still aren't even at the first Sunday of advent, it's not really "about to arrive," which sound imminent.

(I'd say where you are going shopping. If you were going to the local Wal Mart, I'd pass, but if you were going to a mall

I changed "is coming" instead of arrive. They should know where since we went there every year and no it's not WM, lol. Any more adjustment?

Thanks
