There are some who shop for christmas all year, others who go the day after thanksgiving, some who go to the mall on Christmas Eve. How soon do you personally go Christmas shopping?

i wait until the day after christmas because everything is on sale and you get twice as much as you would otherwise.....my kids love it too for the same reason...... since we don't actually know when christ was born, what difference does it make when we celebrate it.

I do pick up things like wrapping paper, cards and even some gift sets of cologne the day after Christmas. Other than that shopping starts mid October. I aim to be done by Thanksgiving.

I'm starting my Christmas shopping after the first of october. If I find the perfect gift for someone though, I will buy it even if its the day after christmas. If you have young boys that are into remote controls cars, you can get some very good deals after christmas. I bought a 200 dollar tank for 25 dollars. Keep track of what you get. I was kicking myself in the butt last year because I didnt keep track of how much I bought ( 5000 dollars worth) and had to wrap it all.

I've always gone either the first or second Saturday in December. I used to have to do that because I would go to my elementary school's Christmas gift store to buy them and they were only done the first or second Friday and Saturday of December. Then I grew out of doing that and plus they had a lot less and a lot crappier stuff. Now I go to Target on the 1st or 2nd Saturday in December and buy gifts for my immediate family plus closest friends of family. Personally I think any day before after Thanksgiving is too early and going shopping on Black Friday is insane.

Any time after Thanksgiving and up to Christmas Eve.

I keep my eye out for things for the people on my list the whole year but I don't actively shop until September. If I start early then I can but nicer gifts than if I left it till late in the year. Works great for my budget and I never have a credit card christmas.

I pick up things all year, and have a special storage space for just those things. If someone on my list wants something "seasonal", like a christmas sweater, then I have to wait until the stores have them out, or order it online. I try to get as much done as I can before Nov. Even have my Christmas cards done by Nov. 1st.

Usually I order my Christmas from ABC Distributing in October and pay for them when they start arriving. But this year, I just can not for the life of me get into it. So, my husband and I have decided that we are not going to exchange gifts this year with either of our families; instead, this year we are going to give a substantial monetary gift to a needy cause through our church. With what is left over, we plan on buying each other a gift. We have been married 18 years and have only bought one another a Christmas gift one time. We have never been able to afford buying gifts for our families and us too, so we choose to buy for our families. I am looking forward in buying something special for my husband this year.

I start in july or august and usually am done by the end of october. Then I wrap them and do my cards, the ones I don't send online .
But really a good Christmas shopper goes all year round to find the perfect gifts.

Although I may spot shop throughout the year, the serious stuff doesn't occur until after Thanksgiving
