Christmas shopping.
« on: September 21, 2020, 08:09:53 pm »
I know that there are a few of you out there that have already started  your Christmas shopping.  How many of you have gotten started, how many of you are finished and how many of you won't do any shopping at all?

I have been thinking about it, and since we cannot get out a lot I had better get with it now for the little people.  The adults understand late but not the kids.

Me too, I have been looking at things for my grandkids, but no shopping yet.  Also, my grandson's birthday is a few days after Christmas so more shopping to do

I wonder where you live that you are not allowed to be outside of your home. My state never had any kind of lock down or restrictions on being out.  As for the kids not understanding that is all in how you teach them.  If you teach kids Christmas is all about getting a ton of presents then yeah that is what they expect.  I don't expect the shopping to be any slower than any other year for most people.

Yes you do! It is only 92 days until Christmas! :D

I want to order some stuff.  I need to get on that.  I figure things may be slower in shipping with so many more people ordering online now than before.

I have 7 grandkids, the oldest being 6.  A 3 year old no matter what you teach do not get it yet.  I said I could not get out a lot, malls are not open here in California everywhere yet .  I also take care of 2 adults in their 90's and several young children every day, besides 3 that are on virtual home schooling.  Mail is very much slower, I do mailing daily of cds and dvds for a company, it is taking several days longer since all the mess at the post office for the deliveries.  I check daily to see where packages are, because people think they can always get overnight.  So yes with the circumstances of this year here, it will take a bit longer to get Christmas shopping done.  Plus a lot of our Christmas gifts have to be mailed, so once they are here I still have to get them mailed out.
