Title: Almost finish
Post by: tnshpalmer85 on November 29, 2017, 06:41:46 pm
I am almost finished with my Christmas shopping. I wanted to be done before December 1 and I am very close to being done. I love and hate Christmas shopping at the same time. Next year I may just do all gift cards.

Generally I would like to be done before Halloween.  I have gotten that done a few times but not this year.  I am done now though, before December 1st.

I am almost at thirty one posts! I was done Christmas shopping by October thirty first and am now just cruising towards a chaotic last thirty one days of the year. I have close out tomorrow for my day time job so I will be working at least sixteen hours (I am at forty two hours for the week right now with the day time job). I have close out for my second job at midnight on Saturday and should be at forty five hours by then. I'll be working for another three hours this evening and will easily slip into my four and a half hours of sleep...but there will be no nightmares about shopping disturbing my shuteye! I may order a few things online but will not lose sleep if they do not arrive on time. Seems like I run into a few things , here and there, right before the Holiday.

I have a couple more gifts to get. I have started wrapping.However, I have a lot of baking to do this month so I really don't feel like I am almost done yet. :rainbow: :peace: :santa: :wave:

I am just about through with my shopping but that is because I don't plan to buy many gifts.

That's great that you're already done with your Christmas shopping! That must be a load off your mind! I'm still trying to figure out what to get for my family's secret Santa presents for our extended family. I'm sure I'll be using Amazon, but I've got to get a line on what people like and want.

My mother used to be done with her Christmas shopping before December 1st, while I was still shopping on Christmas Eve (before marriage and children)! :present:

All I still have to get is white gloves for one of grand babies.  I will finish mine today.

Last year I was just about done at this point. My earnings have been down this year (new baby keeps me from having nearly as much time to earn), so I only have a couple of things purchased. Honestly, my teenager is the only difficult one to shop for.

I am going to start wrapping the gifts next week while the kids are away. I used to wait until right before Christmas to wrap the gifts but that was exhausting.

We have the childrens toys on layaway which need to be out in 10 days. I get my check in a week from work.

However I don't have a present for my boyfriend and not really sure ill have the money.

I am hoping that what he wants will still be there when I get my money from fusion cash.

I'm not done... but I'm having fun shopping & decorating & enjoying Christmas, so I don't feel pressure. 

I just got all my garland & decorations up the bannister & now on to the tree.  Supposed to have help, but I usually am the one that ends up doing it.  I'm going to weed out a bunch of ornaments this year & pass them on to others.... I'm excited about doing that :)

Not done shopping yet but almost.  House is decorated and baking supplies are bought.  What I have purchased is wrapped under the tree.  Hope to finish up this week and relax earlier than usual

I'm very close and I know most of what I need to still get. But, the last few things are always the hardest!

Me too, but I am having a lot of difficulty finding a present for my father.

I started my Christmas shopping a little earlier (around the end of October). I actually bought physical gifts this time. It wasn't that bad, considering I only had to buy for two people. But I think I may go back to hard cash or gift cards next year.
