Oh, my - it's already September! Halloween is just around the corner, then Thanksgiving & then CHRISTMAS! I bought a book last weekend that I intend to give my mom for Christmas. I started a folder with advertisements for present ideas. I plan on being more organized this year. I want to start early & not run around like crazy in the last minute. Have you started shopping yet? Are you even thinking about it? Oh, and don't forget about Christmas cards. I want to get a jump on that early too. I bought cards last year on sale for this year so at least that part is done. I guess I shouldn't panic...yet. Happy Christmas everyone!

I am with you on the Christmas shopping. I hate running around at the last minute trying to figure out what to get for someone. I started a few months ago actualy and I have pretty much finished for this year. WOO HOO!!! I even hate Christmas shopping in Nov/Dec. I can't stand being around those huge crowds. If more people thought of shopping a little earlier it would be alot easier to get around the mall. But those months I stay away from stores.

Yeah! You're almost finished! Wow, I must hand it to you. Yes the crowds starting in November are abysmal. I prefer to shop early as well.

YAY!!!! I have one thing left on the list. I just have to wait as I ordered online. But fiances gift is on its way. And then I am done for the season. But of course will pick up some little christmas stocking stuffers when it comes closer.

Yes I have started my christmas shopping, I started it a few weeks ago. I have already made a list of what I am planning to get everyone and how much money I will need for it. I needed to be more organised this year as the past two years I left everything pretty late and it was a nightmare. I have also been putting some money away each week for the christmas food too so that will be one less thing to worry about too!

That's great - sounds like a very organized operation. I hope to be better this year & I'm off to a good start.
