In advertisements we received in last weekends paper there were stores already counting down the shopping days left until Christmas. I have definately not started working on Christmas shopping yet. I have been telling myself I need to get started so it's not such a big hit at one time. I tell myself that every year, and every year I usually wait until the last minute to do everything. How about you? Have you started Christmas shopping yet? Do you usually start early or wait it out?

Yes I have started. I have too. I have hardly any money and two kids to buy for, so I start as early as possible.

every year I say that I'll start early, and before I know it it's mid-december and Ive got nothing accomplished. I think this year my goal will be to start in the beginning on November. That way it won't seem like i'm putting out so much money all at once.

that is way too early isn't it. It is only October, and we already shop for the Christmas now? Hmmm, I just wonder how many of you already started your christmas shopping.

Normally, by this time of the year, I have a few things already bought and stored away for Christmas, but not this year. Unfortunately, I have not been able to begin even thinking about Christmas shopping this year. I like to buy things when I find them on clearance throughout the year and put them back for Christmas. This way, the kids get what they want, and I don't have to pay such high prices for it.

I haven't started Christmas shopping, let alone create a list of what to give. I'm on a tight budget right now, and doing the Christmas list isn't one of my priorities yet. Probably by next month, I can slowly start Christmas shopping, if budget allows.

Well, I haven't started my christmas shopping yet, and I don't think this year, I want to save some money, and eliminate the hassle to wait in long line to do the shopping. So, I won't too worry about it right now.

I haven't started my Christmas shopping just yet. I'm caught under an economic crisis as of the moment so I don't have time to think of it for now. I sure hope I could get over this situation and jump into the Christmas fever as early as possible

Black Friday is typically the start of the Christmas shopping season for me. This year though I found some great deals back in August on something I was already planning on getting someone as a gift, so I picked it up. I think you're crazy not to, if you find a good deal! Otherwise I do most of my shopping about a month before Christmas. And it'll be here before we know it, wow!
