Hi guys! Christmas is just weeks ahead and almost all people have a lot of shopping to do. Since its been raining for days, it has been hindering me from doing my own Christmas shopping. I hope I can finish it before Christmas day comes.Anyway Christmas is not about shopping but its about celebrating God's love and goodness in our lives especially as a christian. Though I juts want to buy a few stuffs for my loved ones and to give something fro my niece and nephews. Well have a happy Christmas!1Celebrate it with love!!God bless.;))

I wish that I was done with my christmas shopping, but I am a procrastinator and have barely begun my shopping. I will be one of those people you see racing through the stores on christmas eve, trying to finish my shopping before the stores close. Still, it is all worth it once christmas morning arrives. Merry Christmas to all!

I have not finished yet but this year is going to be harder than I thought since my husband got hurt at work and will be out of work for months. =( We thought it was going to be a great one this year for our children presents wise but now I'm not so sure. It will still be a great Christmas with love and spending it together as a family. Were going to try to get a couple small things for them...

For this Christmas since I am broke because of other commitments I am expecting my mother to shop for me. I think this I won't be able to put too many things into my shopping basket because of financial constraints.

Hi! I am also a bit short of cash but Ill try budgeting it. Anyway it doesn't matter if your gifts are not expensive as long as you work hard to buy it. :))

I decided to do all of my Christmas shopping early this year, for the simple fact that I have a very demanding job and I know that the hours get even worse around the Christmas period, so I thought that I should try to get everything done that I possibly could before December. I actually managed to finish my shopping well before November even started, never mind anything else, so I am rather proud of myself for this because I can now sit back and get all of my work done without needing to be worried about what I'm going to buy for all of the members of my family.

Wow! I wish that I was done with my christmas shopping, but I am a procrastinator and have only barely begun shopping. I will certainly be one of those shoppers that you see racing through the stores on christmas eve trying to finish my shopping.

There's only about 14 shopping days before Christmas and I haven't bought anything so far. I guess I'm a last minute shopper although your question does give me pause. Time is moving really fast. I'm thinking it's only early December but Xmas is creeping up fast.

I will be starting my Christmas shopping Friday and hope to do it all in one day. I am very well organized so that should help me out quite a bit. You are right Christmas is not all about shopping and that it is about God. I know last night my six year nephew told me that his Christmas is going great already because the family is here together. He is glad that his Uncle Randy and I are living in the same house. I thought that it was great to hear he does not care about toys, but knows that family is the most important.

hi there eljayo, with reference to your main topic discussion, honestly, this is my first time not to buy any gifts for my family not even to the daughter and son of my brother. the reason, i was so dismayed to the attitude that they are showing to me since i cameback six months ago. in addition, i am also thinking not to celebrate christmas with them. i will really feel sad but i need to be tough specially now that i am in this situation.

I thought that I was done, but due to a miscommunication, I will be out shopping this weekend. A friend and I always adopt a family at Christmas time. I thought she was doing the shopping, she thought I was. She is gone on business this weekend, and the charity we are going through wants everything to them by Monday at 5.
