For all of those shop-a-holics. i was wondering if you enjoyed christmas shopping as much as you enjoy regular everyday shopping... My reason for asking is because there are alot of people that enjoy shopping, even some people consider shopping a hobby.. BUT those people sometime dont nessciaslry "have" to shop, there most liekly isnt a need for there shopping they just shop because they enjoy it and they can... BUT for christmas again its not a "need' but when there are alot of people to buy for and christmas season in shopping centers being so hetic. is it still enjoyable for you? Do you like the holiday rushing around and the not finding things when you need them? what about the deals? are they better really at christmas time then throught out the rest of the year?
just wondering..
im not a big shopper i usally only go when i hvae to and even then im not reallly into it, BUT I LOVE christmas shopping , because i love the expiernce of wrapping gifts..
What about you?

I love christmas, but i find the whole shopping experience quite daunting. I have 3 children and lots of friends and family that i buy for. Every year the list gets longer and longer, and my purse lighter and lighter. I start shopping for christmas almost as soon as the last one is over, making the most of the sales. I then try to buy something whenever i can, but no matter how early i start, i always end in a panic.

I love to shop! I guess it is my hobby but you are right about the christmas shopping. The stores are so hectic and people are rude, so its a whole different experience! But I do like the Christmas shopping with all the sights and music...and seeing Santa over and over, lol. I don't like to wrap gifts though, to me it is the worse part of the holiday!

I love shopping and I love Christmas shopping. I love getting up at 5 am to get to the stores that open at 6 the day after Thanksgivning. I love the crowds of people all trying to get the same bargain. I think it is a blast Christmas shopping.
I also love wrapping the gifts:)

I guess I like chrostmas shopping, but you are right, when I cannot find something, or don't know what to really buy, I makes me crazy and don't like when I have to rush.On the other side it is good,sometimes just go without list and look really good and you will find something just what you need.I am so happy when I find right presents, I cannot wait, when I would give them to my friends or my family.I am not saying I don't like recieving gifts , I love it but giving them to somebody is much more charmfull.

It can be entertaining but I always prefer to do it at the last minute.

Christmas shopping is something that i really love to do... and i don't do it just one time but like 2 to 4 times... there are so many gifts to choose from and mostly they are on sale... as early as october, i make a list of the children that i have to give gifts to then think of a git theme for the year...
I remember one chirstmas when i gave out dolls for girls and robots for boys... the another year i game coloring book and materials... in another gift were mostly candies and chocolates... it is really fun and exciting... i also love wrapping the gifts... sometimes i make or design the gift wraps myself...
For this chirstmas... i have yet to think of a gift theme... any ideas...

It not the shopping as much as it is the gift giving, I like to see the look on peoples face when I surprise them with a gift and to see that they appriate it. I usualy go before halloween to beat the rush and do all my shooping in spurts instead of getting it all at once, to ease the credit burden the hollidays like to bestoe upon us.

December in particular is my most favorite month of the year next to February. I love shopping for the things which I need in decorating our house and for the gifts which I will give to my loved ones. I also love bargain-hunting during this season.

I can't stand Christmas shopping! The crowded stores drive me absolutely crazy!!! I can't stand all the people and all the rush. When I think it's time to start my Christmas shopping, I shop on line. It's easier for me, that way.

But christmas shop is the one shopping moment I really enjoy,I love to pick and choose my gifts for my godchildren and for my friends and family. I love the feeling of buying gifts.

Actually, I do my shopping early. I don't want to shop on a rush hour because of too many people shopping for their gifts and you can't avoid that because christmas is coming.

I hate christmas shopping actually! I love wrapping the gifts and putting gifts under the tree and stuff. I think it's just such an obligation!! You have to go out and get something for all these people and some just because you have to! I can never just enjoy the shopping because it always feels like it's such an obligation to get this stuff for people.
I wish I could like it, because I really do love Christmas.
