I start with the online Black Friday deals and then mop up the last little bit of shopping before the 2nd week of December.

I shop throughout the year starting the day after New Years of the previous year.  That way by the time xmas arrives I'm done.  Works for me.

I start cyber Monday, there are great sales online that day.  After almost being trampled on black Friday, I refuse to spend a penny on that day, not even for gas.

I've already started, am about half done.  Also working on making some things.  And actually--beginning your shopping on the 26th of December is not a bad idea at all.  You can always give gift cards, and even if they aren't for a whole lot they probably WILL go a lot farther after Christmas!  Just call it a Happy Boxing Day present.   :bootyshake:

I normally start the second week of Oct...However if you are on a budget you should start early summer most stores have great deals in the summer.

I have already started thinking about what I am going to get. Thankfully, I don't have to shop for too many people, mainly my hubby and mom and dad.

I have already got a couple of presents.  When I see something I think my daughter will like, I go ahead and pick it up.

We usually start late November and into early December. I don't like waiting until mod December. The crowds get too thick at the malls and other places.

When I made more money I used to pick up stuff year round. I buy a lot less nowadays and don't really start shopping until November.

I actually try to shop all year for Christmas.  I do a lot of clearance shopping during the year starting with the day after Christmas.

totally depends on when the money is like that year, the earlier the best. I hate when the stores are over crowded.
