Title: Has Anyone Started Christmas Shopping Yet?
Post by: robin1128 on October 21, 2010, 06:40:33 pm
I haven't started shopping yet, but I have been looking and asking everyone what they want. And the grandkids has really gave a list.

No.  Probably won't right away.  Will wait a few weeks yet. 

Our parents will get a CD of pictures of the kids.  Then all I need to shop for is the girls and my husband. 

I just need to start the cards for the people at church (since we are the pastor and family it would be a good idea for us to get them out).

I started THINKING about Christmas shopping - does that count?   ;D

I'll probably get some stuff now, and some stuff later.  I usually have a cookie baking party mid-December where I do a gift exchange with friends, so I usually do some shopping early so I can be ready for it.  My family schedules our gathering for either December or January depending on all our schedules.  On years when it's after Christmas, sometimes I wait so I can take advantage of the after-Christmas sales.

Nah I don't celebrate so no need.  They only person I will buy for is my mother.  We both have so much stuff we don't need any more junk.  I might take her on a trip since I have off a week in November been talking about going on a cruise, that might be her Xmas present.

No I have not started Christmas shopping yet.  I generaly tend to wait until after Thanksgiving at least if not until the two weeks right before the holiday.   I don't know it just feels that tends to put me in the holiday spirit to shop.

I haven't started yet.  I tend to wait more towards Thanksgiving because the sales are better. I do have a niece and nephew, does anyone know what the hottest toys are going to be this year??

Oh boy, Christmas shopping, I love it. I am one of those people that wait until the last minute to start Christmas shopping. I usually say that I am going to start early every year, but it never works out like that. This year I may start my shopping in November after Thanksgiving, but there are no promises. It is going to be a lean Christmas this year as money is in short supply, so I may make some gifts as apposed to buying them.

I just don't go broke any more buying stuff I can't afford to give to people who don't need anything.  I will get something for my grandchildren.  I usually shop on line.

We started about a month ago and once I get the $$$ from Fusion Cash, then I can buy more gifts.

We usually start Christmas shopping about his time of year. However, we're getting off to a late start; haven't bought the fist gift yet :). But we will remedy that real soon.

 :D I started shopping about two months ago. I do that so when Christmas comes around I won't have sticker shock and be completely broke. I have a lot of step siblings so it can get expensive really fast. I have no idea what to get my son. His grandparents have spoiled him so bad that we don't have need or room for anything else. Ha ha I guess that's what grandparents are for.
