Whenever there's a sale, I'm to the store.  If you wait until the last minute, the store might not have what your looking for anymore.

I don't go out until Christmas eve. Hopefully by then there are a few people like myself who do not like to find a parking spot or to stand in a long line. But I do prefer the online shopping now. It is fast and from the convenient of your own home.

I start making lists throughout the year, when I hear someone likes something I make a note of it, but dont start shopping till November. My Xmas tree goes up day before Thanksgiving, so no need for presents till then

I like to shop all year long.  That way I am not spending a bunch of money at one time.  The problem with that is misplacig the item and making sure that I got everyone.  I need to get way more organized.

Frankly, my hours have been cut back recently at work, and I just found out my rent is going up at the first of the year.  Afraid it will be a skinny Christmas from my end, and whoever wants me around better want me for he pleasure of my company!

I usually start after Thanksgiving. I don't have many people to buy for so my shopping isn't too complicated.

I used to shop throughout the year, but now that we've been doing secret santa every year, I don't have to start as early.

I don't buy a lot of gifts.  I just can't afford it but I look for very inexpensive gifts all year round and try not to lose them in the house
