Christmas shopping? Or have you not even started like me. I always wait until the last minute. Somehow to me it is more fun that way.
Now I am not saying that I wait until the night before Christmas, but a week or two before suits me just fine. Do you have a deadline for Christmas shopping? I mean, do you have a point where you say, if I have not purchased it by now, I am not going back out there to get it? I am finished for this year.

Almost! Just got to get a few more things, and then I am done! Mostly have to get wrapping paper and sticky tape now!

This is the worst year ever for me. I start shopping in August and be done by November. I moved from Miami to NY this July. The truck was 1600. then having to go school shopping. $400+ then having to pay for food and transportation oh so much. Turning on the everything. Getting all the stuff I left like dishes etc. I was broke and now it's Christmas time. I am not going to be feeling my best.

This is a good year for you to be very creative. You can do things for people instead of buying them something. It can be fun. Give them little cards of things that you are willing to do for them as a Christmas gift. For example, help cook Christmas dinner, clean the house, baby sit, or something real simple like that.

I haven't even started my X-mas shopping yet. here in Europe X-mas is not that capitalized yet. I mean year after year people buy more stuff but i still belive in small presents for the people I care for. For me x-mas present shouldn't cost more then 20$ and one is enough.

suprisingly enough i have actually finished all my Christmas shopping. I usually wait until the last couple of weeks to start shopping but last year that got me into a bind. I decided to start early so i could spread my finances out instead of spending a big chunk of money all at once. If i happened to have forgotten something i will definitely go back out there and get it. I'm not scared or bothered by the christmas crowd...it just makes it more of a challenge. I hope you enjoy your shopping and have a great holiday season. God bless!


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7153)   ranked 35 out of 7,442 in shopping  3 years ago

Spreading it over time is a very good idea. I will have to do it from now on instead of being so lazy.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Smithfamily (1612)   ranked 250 out of 7,442 in shopping  3 years ago

It really does help reduce all the stress felt around this time of the year. I would go out and buy a few gifts at a time and I'd never have to worry about struggling until the next paycheck came around. Have a great holiday season. God Bless!

I have finished in regards to my inlaws and my parents. We haven't started on Madison's presents yet but he may have to wait until his father gets back from Thailand in three weeks. He leaves on Monday. He has told us a few things he wants but that will depend on our budget LOL


myLot reputation of 80/100. Rozie37 (7153)   ranked 35 out of 7,442 in shopping  3 years ago

Oh my goodness, he is leaving for three weeks. I hope you have someone to take care of the baby while you are at work. I know you really miss him when he is gone for that long. And he is going far too. Okay well, I hope you finish your shopping on time. Happy Holidays and God bless you.

Well luckily most of my hours of work are during the week when he is at school. I have to tell them I can't work weekends for two weeks, not sure how they are going to take that but I have no choice. Just as well this job is only temporary and if they need me to work then I will just have to excuse myself from the job. They are quite flexible though and am sure they won't mind me missing two weekends as i worked last weekend and will be working this weekend also. So we shall see.

Have only bought two things so far, but we are not really into buying gifts, we have a get together for a meal and spend time with each other usually but this year will be a bit different, some of the family are away, some working, some have other commitments, but we will get together one way or the other, it may even be just a phone call from our son who lives in Spain but it is contact that matters to us.
