I finally got the majority of my christmas shopping done today...there's only 1 more present to buy & I'm done...it's the rest of hubby's present & he wants to pick it out...i still have 2 presents I am waiting on to come through the mail too. Every year, I say I'm gonna do my shopping early but still leave it to the last minute...this year I had an excuse because I moved house...how early do you start your christmas shopping?

I usually have a lot more done than I did this year, but I'm almost finished, finally! I like to get things bought and wrapped so I can concentrate on other things, like decorations and just enjoying the season. NEXT year, I will!

I always intend to do more than I actually do, too.

I buy most of mine online these days. The mall is pretty far away from my house, and I don't have a car (so it takes about 30-40 min by public transportation). I'm almost done with Christmas shopping, but I still have a couple things I have to buy/make.

Haha - you're much better than me. I actually still haven't finished getting all my gifts...but I probably won't see the people I'm giving the gifts to until next week :D

i pretty much start on Boxing Day which is the 26th of December and one can get really good bargains at a number of stores here where i live. i shop all through the year but have had to wait to the end due to finances this year.

I've never succeeded in doing my Christmas shopping early. Each year I plan on doing it at least a month before but each year I end up doing it on the last minute. Well, I also have to wait for my Christmas bonus first before I can do any shopping :)

Me too...I know I say this every year but I think I will try my best to buy presents throughout the year to make it easier.
