I'm definitely a crammer! one year, my siblings & I closed down the malls on Christmas eve--I guess I'm realy just a crammer at heart--hehe, gives a different meaning to the Holdiay rush! ;)so have I done my Christmas shopping?? Definitely not yet!

I wish I wasn't a crammer bit this year I definately am. Things have been so hectic at home that I have only got a few santa presents put away and nothing for under the tree yet. I sent my brother's christmas present to the States yesterday so if it makes it before christmas eve it will be one of those christmas miracles!

Definitely a crammer, only put daughters pressie on lay by Sunday afternoon... Letting it stay there till Xmas eve.. (no chance of her finding it before Xmas). Mother in law has invited all the family to our place for the day. I'll do the food shopping in the final days, to get the best prices. I am very much a last minute shopper, some of my best purchases were last minute buys.

I will do my christmas shopping 5 days before the holiday because I need to list all the things or gifts to be bought for christmas party here in the office, for friends, my godchild and foods to be cooked for christmas eve. I don't want to cram because my head will surely ache and my temper would be bad.

i am an early bird. I start as early as the first quarter of the year. mainly because my husband and I have a christmas list which consists of 30 kids (godchildren and nephews and nieces)
