Yea, one more Christmas related thread from me.
Are you done shopping? Have you even started shopping? Are you a last minute, Christmas Eve shopper? Do you enjoy it, or hate it? What'd you get me?
I used to be pretty good & get everything done before Thanksgiving, because I hate being in the stores from then till New Years. The last couple years though I've been a lot later. We actually just started last night, & have to go back out again this morning. Earlier in the day the better I guess. Went on Christmas Eve once. ONCE. NEVER f***ING AGAIN!!

Thankfully, I just finished yesterday. It's the earliest I've ever finished, which I guess is pretty sad. I always say I'm going to get it all done by the first week in December, but of course I never do.
I absolutely hate Christmas shopping. It's not the point of buying for everyone, it's the fact that I always feel like it's not enough or they're going to hate what I've bought them. To me, there are few things in this world more uncomfortable than watching someone open a gift I bought them.

I've got mine done, on time for a change. Usually I leave everything until the last minute.

I finished mine on Wednesday... was out with my father helping him find a final gift for my mother.
I usually procrastinate like hell to get my Christmas shopping done... latest I've waited to finish I think was the 22nd

Finished mine yesterday. One of my gifts will be delivered on 12/24 so I'm cutting it close/living dangerously.

I'm not sure if I know what Christmas shopping is.

The few gifts I did buy for people I ordered online. Otherwise, I'm not doing Christmas shopping this year.

I've never minded Christmas shopping, but that's because I only shop for my closest relatives (Mom, Dad and 2 Brothers) and they never ask for anything that's too hard to find or expensive. Heck my Dad never ever wants gifts anymore he just asks for a charitable donation to be made on his behalf.
So really it doesn't matter to me how late or early I get things done, because I know that almost everything I want is going to still be there.

I usually hate it. And am a last minute shopper.
But this year I signed up for the months free trial of Amazon prime, ordered a few things the other day, got some more to get when I get some money through tonight, it's been so easy and stress free. I've even enjoyed it.

My problem with online shopping is I usually don't have an idea of what to get people at first and it's easier to find something that grabs my attention in a physical location than it is to stumble upon something online.

I finished shopping a week ago and I sent out the last present three days ago. I really don't mind shopping, but I hate all the planning I have to do to get what I want to get people and stay on budget.

Started it yesterday, and finished it today. Granted, I only needed 2 gifts, and about 5 or 6 cards, but my shopping was pretty quickly done.

My family's presents are just about done. Have to run back out tomorrow for a couple little things, but that's it. UPS just delivered the wife's main gift, but I'm waiting for one more thing in the mail for her. I do have to get her a couple stocking stuffers, but that's no big deal. After that I am done, done, done. Pretty sure she'll be shopping for me after work tomorrow. I hope...

I made the mistake of going out a little bit ago. What is it about Christmas that makes people so crazy? No one would let pedestrians cross, and people in the store weren't paying attention and were nearly ramming people with their carts left and right. It was quite amusing.

I did all of mine in November. I refuse to enter shopping malls in December. People go f***ing crazy the closer it is to Christmas.
