Yeppers! I started right after Christmas last year and am done, except for the name drawings that are always last minute. I have some gifts put away for that, but may not work for who I draw....You're not alone sister! There are many more like us, who would have no Christmas if we didn't do it a little at a time and the earlier the better.

Great time to get appliances and heavy winter clothing.
Sweater and Coats are cheep when they are not in season.
Bigger appliances are low too. TV's and Music
Toys do not come out until close to Christmas Season so you need to wait. The saving up on Play Station is great now too.

I do it all year. Whenever I see a great deal or something on sale that would work as a present, I grab it! Although, I have to shop after Thanksgiving to get in to the "feel" of Christmas!:)

I started in the January sales! I pick stuff up all the time, especially when i have to shop 4 birthdays. I also go to jumble sales and buy stuff for bout 5p, clean it and give it 2 someone for xmas. Its da best way. Oh,he should be grateful you are not like me and play xmas music in July.

Yes - if i see a bargain i buy it and put in a bottom draw - always comes in handy for birthdays, Christmas etc....don't do all that last minute stress thing at Christmas to much partying to do...oh and drinking! Happy bargain hunting!

Yeah; started and finished- bought the last prezzie in May, while stuff was still cheap. Not a mean old cow, just a pensioner, but it works for me!!!
