20 days more to go and it's Christmas!

I'm so excited for the holidays! You're going to buy lots of gifts that's why you should buy cheaper deals. Have you tried going to Divisoria? The prices there are cheap.

Merry christmas to all of you . No doubt you could make it perfectly ,you are considerate of all relatives.They will feel it.In China, it's popular for young adults and foreigners to celebrate Christmas.I can feel the festival mood every year

I will say that I have got all the presents now, but like all shops here they are really busy, so a lot of mine were done on line.I have also managed to send my daughters out to get things for me, as they work in the town, so they were near the shops that I needed the things from. I have to also get lots of gifts every year and have to try to remember everyone on my list.Some people are so hard to buy for as well, as they seem to have all the things that they want.

Yes, 20 days left and it's Christmas. I envy you because I'm working on the day of Christmas and I'm too far in my family. I'm here in Thailand and they don't celebrate it since that they are Buddha. Good for you. You can buy gifts even small as long as from the heart and it will be remembered and appreciated. Godbless :)

I have not done any Christmas shopping this year. Will be going to another city to visit my sister and will be at her place for a week.

Yes its 20 days before Christmas and just like you I'm also trying to do some buying. Here in the Philippines we a place where cheap stuffs are bought - Divisoria. The place is also known as Chinatown. A lot of things can be found there but they are mostly from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. You're right that gifts need not be expensive and other people would like to do a "recycle" of gifts. This means they give those gifts that they had received before, they just re-package it. If you like this idea you why not try it.

I still have to buy for my son and husband. I have no idea what to get either one. My son is 19, has a very good job, and buys everything he wants and it has to be the best. He will soon learn when he is not living at home any longer. I am thinking about just buying him gas cards, as he is always running around.

I'm starting to panic because we don't have a lot of money to spend but I also don't have a lot of time to hunt for deals. I am going to make my mother-in-law and some other relatives felted wool dryer balls, because they are useful and good for the environment and I have most of the supplies, I think. If they are just token gifts, what about small Christmas ornaments?

what about home made gifts? even if you are not creative, you can make food gifts for some people.

This year I am so far behind, I haven't even started decorating yet! Usually at this point in time I have my house decorated and most of the shopping is done. Normally I buy things for everyone throughout the year and wrap as I go along. I try to pay attention to the little things everyone says that they need or want and see what I can do in that respect. This year, I think I'm going to get a little gift and give out gift cards, seems like everyone can get more for less money after the Holidays and they can get what they really want.

I realised yesterday that I had to start giving my whole time to Christmas. I have to go to the hospitsl his week and one of next weeks`s days. But I will start to make my zuchinni relishes today. On Friday, if all goes well, I will have some help to make the cupcakes. As a sugestion, give your loved ones something you hve made. I only buy presents to the small children. But I make cupcakes, relishes and jms for the rest. Merry Christmas.

I am getting worried because there is still a lot to do and not enough hours in the day to get things done. I started my shopping today and hope to finish by Friday. I still have three more gifts to make and I will be done this weekend. I will be taking Thursday off from doing school work so I can decorate the house and get my projects done. On Friday I will be shopping and on Saturday I will be taking my Christmas picture, going to light festival and also a craft fair. Sunday I will be working on more crafts and relaxing. I feel that making homemade gifts are great because they are from the heart.

Im ready here... all gifts are bought and wrapped. I only have to get the meals planned and buy the foods. Merry xmas to you there.

yes it is,time is flying!given a cheap and simple gift are makes your love ones happy as long as its heartily given to them..for me,i haven't started to buy yet,i want to buy one at a time, save time though..merry christmas everyone

Yes, Christmas is so near and I haven't bought any gifts too...well, maybe I will just be contented on giving 'ampao'. I think it would be much easier on me compared to buying gifts which will take time for me since I have so many work to do.

Yes, I am very excited for that season to come. Like you I have also that "panic buying" thoughts in my mind because I do not start to buy at least gifts for my loved ones till now. I am also confused what to give them that makes them appreciate it.Well, I need to budget my money too for those gifts. It is really extravagant this season.lol

Merry Christmas too. I think you are a sweet person. You think of everyone's joy by planning to give them gifts. I really had not done that many times that is why I appreciate you. Yes, even if it is simple as long as it is sincere, then why doubt to give it.

Christmas is a happy day if you are together with your family. Sometimes money can make me sad in times of emptiness. But it will disappear when I look my baby smile on me. Advance Merry Christmas to all...

What's more important than expensive gifts is the Love that you give to your family... Your love is the biggest gift to ur family.. But whatever gifts you purchase, use ur money wisely! Merry Christmas in Advance!

marry christmas to you in advance. its good to hear you wanna buy more and enjoy a lot with your family members in upcoming christmas. No worry about the expense, if you got limited capital then buy suitable gifts with low price for individuals. that makes them more happy. Enjoy the christmas period.
