Have you started buying Christmas Presents Already?

I got my sons bday coming up next month and that is it. No Christmas for us this year. Too many bills.

No no no no!! It's not the third week of December yet!

Not yet and it's too early for me but I don't have to give them all,My pocket will be empty lol because there are many of them,nephews,god daughters. Some little present like a gift card will do for me to the others.

I buy presents all the year round. When I see an object that can be a gift for one of my friends or my family, I buy it. This is a lot less stress when Xmas arrives.

I'll start the week before Christmas . A friend of mine starts the week after Christmas - for the next Christmas!

nope!!! im not one of those people lol i usually dont start gathering them until december, when they have all the decorations up and it really feels like the christmas season. for me its not about sales or getting it done... its about the experience!!!

I can't even think about Christmas yet

We used to do the lay away thing and tried to start as early as we could so we could get everything we wanted to for the kids. Then one day we just stopped. We had had a bad experience with a lay away where they took everything we had on the lay away back on the shelf and never even called us to let us know or make the needed payments. We had asked them before we ever did it if we could pay once a month and we were told we could. So, anyway, we have just quit buying a lot of stuff. Wrapping paper and tape and gifts and tags for the gifts. It's all such a materialistic thing. And we teach our kids that that is normal. I don't think it is. We buy something, we just don't go for the wrapping and all the fuss. It doesn't have to be that way. We choose to listen to all the hype and feel we need it that way when we don't really. I enjoy the memories I have of Christmases in the past but I also remember the sea of wrapping paper and the bows and tags all such a waste when you think about it.

I'm almost completely finished with my list, too. I bought some Christmas-themed things on clearance at the beginning of the year, and I've done a lot of clearance-section shopping between then and now. Amazon had some really good sales on Green Toys earlier in the year, so I picked up a couple items for each of the kids. I really need to go through and take a look at what I have so I can plan the rest of my shopping accordingly.

Since I only buy for my husband and the dog - no need to start yet! When I had to buy for lots of folks back in New Jersey I would have been finished by now. Life is so much easier now.

I shop all year so I have plenty of time.

I have gotten to the point to give money or cards. Some money I have put away. I will buy the grandkids presents.

I usually start in September although last year I got off to a late start. My recipient list gets shorter every year however...and I'm happy to accept a hug of good cheer myself.

I leave it till December because I don't want my year to be dominated by one day. Of course that makes me that man you see frantically scouring the depleted shelves on Christmas Eve!

Wow I know it not far away but shopping already.

not yet, and i think there will be lots of sale in December anyway so it's better to buy at that time

I have four great grand sons that i buy for after each holiday for 75% off. they are young enought I can still do that. with the older grandchildren I have to wait and see what they want.

No, I haven't even thought about it to be honest. When my kids were young, I would shop for their stuff early but haven't since they have grown up.

I'm always stuck with ideas of what to get people, especially my grandchildren, so I don't usually think about Christmas presents until after Halloween. I wish i could get a head start

A lot of people from my work has already did their Christmas shopping, and I am like isn't it a bit too early for Christmas shopping, but then I remember we got about 3 months left before Christmas. I will probably do my shopping sometime soon.
