Christmas Shopping

I've yet to start, it's pathetic but every year I leave it to the last possible minute. Are you finished, have you started yet, or have you decided that nobody is getting gifts this year?

I have gotten about half the gifts i need to buy. My friend is also using my place to store her boyfriend's gifts.

I haven't even started yet. I swear I'm starting in January for next Christmas. I hate this always doing this at the last minute. I'm all stressed out! YIKES!! 8O

I find that getting Christmas Gifts at the last minute is stressful but seems to cut out all the other "distractions" when shopping. If I start shopping early then I tend to wander around aimlessly but if I leave it till the last minute I seem to shop with purpose. It never seems to take more than 4 hours either.

As I posted on another thread.....we do it differently each year. Usually, I'll wait pretty much till last minute or else I'll end up giving the kids too many hints or even their stuff early. I get all excited.....I LOVE buying gifts for people.

Plus, I only have so much money to spend....it usually doesn't take very long to begin with.

My son is almost done. I took my mother on vacation to disney last weekend so that's her presnet. (plus I got a free sitter out of it :wink: )
I still need to buy for my boss, my b/f :evil: , my brother, Noah's teachers, Greg's faimly and I still don't have a clue what I am getting any of them.

Pretty much the same boat I'm in.

I don't give Christmas presents to anyone but kids in the family, my parents and one friend.

Duke · 12-13-2004, 10:30 PM

You only have the one friend. I don't call that cheap, that's a lack of available options.

Just curious, Duke, have you started Christmas shopping yet, Duke? What stage of shopping is everyone else in?

TKDLady · 12-15-2007, 01:00 PM

Pretty much done.
