Christmas is just around the corner, AGAIN, great.

I think it's just too early to be thinking about Christmas. But maybe when I see something good like when it suits a friend or a family member, then I can buy that for him/her for Christmas or birthday, whichever comes first.

Did you have to remind us? Heh heh. Well, I bargain shop, so I hunt for bargain gifts all year long so I don't have to wait in crowds and spend a lot of money just before Christmas. So by the time Christmas hits, I can actually enjoy the holiday and not get so stressed out. Last November my son was born - and now he's half a year already - so I know how fast time is going. You're not kidding that Christmas is just around the corner!!

haddowz lookee here its not even June yet, Christmas in the words of Ebenezer Scrooge bah humbug. I do not plan this far ahead for Christmas,I am just waiting for summer and warm weather, I am sure not in the mood to think about Christmas now. I will worry about that come December.

I start early, but that is because I make homemade gifts. I buy my supplies in July and start in August. If I am buying store bought gifts I wait until the week before Thanksgiving to start shopping. Lately, with the bad economy I have made a list of gifts I want to buy for others, but I have not started anything yet.

Wow, anti Christmas and dumping mate. But seriously, I agree with you. It is too too early to think about Christmas. July hasn't even come yet.

Did you HAVE to mention the C word!! I'll start hyperventilating - I will have 10 garndkids this Christmas

Chrsitmas shopping, it isn't even June yet!!! The year my daughter n law was pregnant for their 2nd boy she not only had HIS presents bought but she had them all wraped and his name on them!!!!! In July she had a baby GIRL!!!! Once I bought presents all year long, I forgot where I put them! Also forgot who I had bought for so for some I had to many and for some I didn't have any!!! I can wait until after Thanksgiving to Christmas shop!!!! Don't give the stores any ideas they will be putting up Christmas decorations before July 4th!!! One year I went Christmas shopping on Christmas EVE, for everything!!!! (I had been in a car wreck that Sept and couldn't move around very well so the last thing I wanted to do was shop. I really wasn't caring if I got presents for anyone or not!!!!) Oh and to the person who will have 10 grandchildren, I have been there for 3 years!!!

Hi Haddowz, I don't really plan this far ahead for Christmas but I did pick up 5 Woo games to pit towrds Christmas for my son the other day as they were a bargain. I spent £25 and 5 brand new games worth over £130. Too good to be missed but it is usually for me the last month as I am always waiting on my daughters list as to what they would like, which is usually early December. Huggles. Ellie :D

My hubby was telling me that his mom use to buy christmas presents all year long to be prepared for the season. I think it's actually smart to do because every year I am broke after christmas from spending so much. It's called preparation, and I need more of that quality in me. Take care

My sister-in-law Gena has no doubt hit all the post Christmas sales from 2009 and completed the majority of her 2010 shopping already. I myself plan to be done sometime around December 24th.

OMG are you kidding me. The summer hasn't even really started and he's talking about Christms. That is crazy I don't want to think about it till after Halloween usually.

I have started alot of my christmas shopping as at the moment i have the money to get a few bits as when christmas gets here i want to be able to sit back and relax rather than doing things in a rush.If i see something that i think someone would like i tend to buy it mainly if it is cheaper as this way it saves money.

Hi Haddawz, I am starting to collect items for gifts this coming christmas. it's always good to little by little pick up some for your family and friends. i have a place where to keep them and not be seen by anyone of them as it will destroy the element of surprise.

I love Christmas. I mean, it's not just because love gifts. I love the mood. Everyone seems to be happier and more cheerful. The lights make everything look enchanting. The Christmas music puts me in a good mood too and Christmas trees...they smell so good. (: And I can't forget the food. I do love food.

I'm making my Christmas presents. I've already finished 3 and have a couple of others bought that I don't have to do any work on! so... by the time the season actually rolls around, I'm TIRED of it!

Advance Merry Christmas to you Haddows. Time is flying, we are half of the year now! However, i do not have some plans. For me it is too early to plan for Christmas. I will start planning for it when September comes. Some are excited for Christmas but for me it is just a plain old day and I guess there is nothing new happening to me despite being busy.

Hi Haddowz Well actually Christmas isn't just around the corner ints more like 7 months just like you said I don't start planning for Christmas that early there are to many other holidays between Christmas such as today is May....Memorial Day July ... The Fourth of July for us folks here in the America September Labor Day October...Columbus Day and Halloween November....Veterans Day and Thanksgiving December...Christmas So as you can see there are so many other holidays coming before Christmas even gets here with is all the way at the end of the year not sure why your friend plans so far in advance

Well it does come quick and if you have a list you want to buy for this is the time of year to get deals. I know I try to begin shopping the day after christmas for I have birthdays and a never ending cycle of needing gifts. I buy if I have money items and put them up for birthdays and christmas on a regular basis. I call it planning and saving for I live on a fixed income until I can land a perfect job like that is going to happen in this economy. Who knows maybe I'll hit the lottery. Got to play first. Maybe he is thinking of getting you this really expensive gift and wants to have time to get it or save for something you really want like a new car or a ring or could be just he is wanting to know what you might be getting him. Or if you have a huge list helping eliminate to get things done and in time before you know it it is here things and rushing to get gifts. I think best gifts are ones people make myself for it is from the heart and loving.

christmas? are we really talking about christmas? It is too early... It doesn't cross my mind yet... I would actually not think about it if you did not raise this topic up... No plans yet, actually I do the christmas gift buying always on the first week of december...

Funny you should bring this up! I was just telling my husband we need to think about what we'll be getting our 5 y/o daughter for Xmas 2010! I like to hit up the Christmas in July sales too... lots of fun holiday stuff to get those places. I don't think it's ever too early... baking products can go on sale... awesome gifts are cheaper when the summer doldrums hit...Christmas lights at Yard Sales... FUN! Fun! Fun!
