christmas shopping?

I hate christmas shopping, exept for grocery shopping..but I already said that in another response..lol

i dont mind shopping but i find it exhausting to run from store to store when it comes to christmas shopping. i like to start early and have every thing done and not leave it to the last minute. hubby and i generally go together when shopping anyways as i dont drive due to health issues.

I do like to go, I usually take my husband, but he sounds alot like yours. I also pick things up, all through the year, when I find things marked down.

Actually I don't like Christmas shopping at all. It always costs a lot more than I expect it too which puts me in a state of anxiety. I also hate the crowds and trying to find specific things. This year I did a lot of shopping on line. It saves so much time, I did get pinched on shipping a few times though and that was not good, but having the gifts arrive right on my doorstep is pretty cool I think.

I LOVE Christmas shopping! Actually, I start shopping right after Christmas. If I see something that I KNOW a certain person would love, I'll get it and put it away until Christmas. The only problem with that is that sometimes I forget that I bought these things or forget where I put them. LOL I like shopping with my sons. They're both adults now and, of course, they're male and shop like males (they know what they want, go get it, pay for it and they're out of the store). Whenever we do go shopping together, they take off in their own directions and I go my way. We meet up at the registers or near the door. So, actually, it's more like I'm shopping by myself. I prefer shopping by myself most of the time because I can take my time, browse, compare, all that stuff, without feeling guilty or rushed. I usually end up having conversations with other shoppers and that has led to some very interesting small talk!

I like getting gifts for others, as a concept. I like making people happy, and generosity on my part makes me happy. The actual act of Christmas shopping, though..I have to say is totally stressful, at least when you get closer to the holidays approaching. I try to get the bulk of my Christmas shopping done in November and before the end of the month, but this year I'm slacking and will have to do some mega-last-minute shopping after I get paid on Christmas Eve! It gets stressful only because stores are so crowded, parking is totally full & horrible, there are usually screaming babies every which way you look (no lie!), and lines are usually MILES and MILES long. It's frustrating. Not to mention the store is usually picked over when you go. I hate shopping last minute, and this is why every year I try to avoid it (and usually succeed at it! But not this year, apparently!).

I like to shop with someone else when I go....my youngest sister and I shop well together and also my best friend. Seems like I do enjoy it when I am with them. Merry Christmas!

When i was still single, i always do Christmas shopping with my sisters, as we are able to choose our preferred gifts together. Since i am married and had stayed far away from my parents home, i will only do Christmas shopping with my husband. Although my husband don't really like shopping, too, but during Christmas shopping, he's always ready to wait until i had fully buy all the gifts that i had wanted to buy. Happy Christmas shopping....
