Can you really ever be ready for Christmas day?

Every year I start buying early like in October, but I feel that I am never ready. I always have a few last minute presents that I keep putting off because I start running out of money. Then I hate going to the store this late because they are already packed. So I have about 5 gifts to buy and they are causing anxiety. I have still have to get stocking stuffers. Ugh! Even though I start early I just never feel like I am ready for christmas. Do you feel this way or do you feel satisfied come time to open gifts? Do you ever feel like you are forgetting something?

Hey baileycows! I keep thinking that I am finished and then I find that there still is a few more gifts that I need to get! It is never ending! It is driving me crazy! I just started last week, but I did really well since my boyfriend picked out some of his owen Christmas gifts and went to the store to get them himself! That saved me some running around! I went Christmas shopping on Tuesday and Friday and got alot done. I thought that I was finished, but I found out that I still need one or two more gifts! I am going again tomorrow and I hope I can really get finished this time! I don't want to have to go back to the stores again because it is really getting way to close to Christmas!

I always am late with buying Christmas gifts too. It's hard for me to choose what I would want to get someone because everyones tastes are different from my own. I hate going to the mall because it's crowded, but love the sales. I feel like I don't buy enough for people either because when I get their gift it always seems like more than what I got them! Haha
