I know it's early, but the holiday is around the corner. When do you start to shop for the holidays?

This is the time that I usually start shopping for Christmas. I like to shop early because I can layaway some stuff and because I don't like long lines and crowded stores. By getting most of the shopping done now, then when it gets closer to Christmas i can look for bargains for myself.

I've already started.  It helps spread the cost out over several months.

I shop year round.   When the after Christmas sales start I get some things.  I always put mittens and knit caps in the stockings, so I get them any time I see a good price on them.

I've already started. I like to be close to done by Thanksgiving because then I can enjoy going out and doing the last little bit without being stressed. I loved the holidays and don't like to miss out on enjoying all the magic by racing around stressed.

I have started cashing in survey points for Christmas gifts.  I have a really nice University of Kentucky wrist watch coming for my daughter and personalized dog food bowls for my grandpups.
Have a wonderful day!
