Last year I didn't get done until Christmas Eve night! i guess I am doing much better this year huh? I managed,to get everyone on my list,which is just a short list as it is. So are you done? Are you a last minute shoper too? I have never been an early bird shopper,most of my family start their Christmas shopping in November or even before that,not me,I am lucky if I can start in the beining of December.

I finished about two weeks ago. I try to finish by mid december because going out at this time of year sickens me. I went to the grocery store because I needed eggs and cheese and milk. the store was jam packed on a sunday at 3pm. Thats just ridiculous to me. I wanted to go to petsmart to get my cat something and the line to get into that shopping center (there's a walmart and a target there too) was just absolutely INSANE... fortunately I was able to pick up some treats and I have some catnip. The real gift i want to get him will come after. I'm sure he'll be okay with that. :p so yeah. I finished a while back. and I did most of my shopping online. I only bought one thing in a store. and that's what I got two weeks ago because it took me that long to convince myself to GO to the mall!

Ha ha. Yeah I hate the mall too. I usually avoid it but there's a jewelry store I really like in it and I wanted to get my mom something from there so I had to! It's the only jewelry store I like cause it's got pretty stuff for not too pricey! Yeah. Way too many people wait till last minute to shop. So when I need to go out just to do my regular odds and ends shopping, I have to deal with those folks. ugh!

Just didn't have much money for Christmas shopping this year. Got a few things for my daughters and granddaughter and my mom, that's all for this year. Maybe I will be in better place next year.

We finished up Friday night at 12:35 am! I was determined to have it all done that night. Well we went into the wee early morning hours but that is ok~! It gave me the rest of the weekend to do other things and enjoy/relax a bit! I'm glad you got done early this year, that's awesome. Now you can enjoy Christmas Eve at home this year and not be out fighting crowds and shopping! Merry Christmas!

We got our Christmas shopping done by last week. My husband buys the big presents and I buy something small for each because I do not make that much. I have only my Canada Pension. This year I put extra away so I was able to buy everyone something. Next year I will have more because I will have Old Age Security. Of course, I could use the money I make here on myLot and the other ways I make money online, but I have that all set aside for my MAC laptop computer and I am not there yet.

Thank God I am not a last minute shopper. I have done all my Christmas shopping weeks ago! And I am really glad I can just relax and enjoy the walk in the shops right now. I am a really stressed kind of type and I wouldn't be able to run around like a crazy few days before Christmas to find everything. I prefer shop early and spend these last days doing other things than shopping. Well, all I didn't get you anything for Christmas, hehehe, but all I can say is Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

even though i didnt have that much too buy it was the expense that got me. i did all of it done though. it amazes me that people still look at christmas as a gift day instead of realizes what it really is and that is the birth of jesus christ. so i say happy birthday jesus.

I am done now. I just finished my shopping a couple days ago. I usually do finish kinda late. but what I am really bad about is my wrapping lol sometimes..well, MOST of the time I never get around to finishing wrapping until its time for them to be opened.. so I am in my room rushing to get it done so I can run them downstairs to be opened..lol but this year I got it done. I finished all my wrapping the day b4 yesterday and I really think that is the earliest I have been done yet! lol Have a very merry christmas :)

Merry Christmas. I'm a last minute Christmas shopper to. I start the day after Thanksgiving and shop till Christmas eve. Every year I tell myself to start early but it never works. I have one more thing to get and then I'll be done. ~Have a safe and wonderful holiday!~
