Next year I am waiting until the last minute because I was finished shopping and wrapping two weeks ago and I keep finding more things my loved ones would like and it's costing me a fortune. I don't know when to stop.
Gotta go, a few more things on my list to buy and I'm exhausted!
Why can't we get back to the true meaning of Christmas? I really cannot see the reasoning in all this gift giving for a 'happy holiday' which is strictly commercial.
Actually I'm disqusted with myself.

I like to be done a week before Christmas, because i dont want to get all anxious and start impulse buying. see what happens when you wait until the last minute; there is nothing left, you start to freak out and want to buy everything or you can do it in june and by the time chrismas comes around, ur going to be surrounded by the decos and smells and your just going to want to buy even more. so i think that if you wait a few weeks before you will have time to take it back if it isnt what you really wanted, wrap it and make it all pretty and make it personal.
well i hope that helps you

Some things I'll save to do about 2 days before Christmas. I have some time off this week before I go on vacation beginning on the 23rd. No big deal.

I'm done with my Christmas shopping. I start in January each year and buy gifts when I see something a friend/relative would like.

I have given all my money to the plasterer. I'm sure he's going to buy his Christmas presents with it.....I'm going to have to wait until pay day on the 22nd to buy anything....I've got 14 people coming round on the 25th....I really hope the shops still have some stuff!

No need to wait until the last minute anymore, not with buying practically everything off the internet! In fact, if I waited for the last minute, it would not be delivered on time!

I always start early around September and I won't be finished til most likely the night before Christmas as always.

I started mid November, and had finished by the first week of December. They are all wrapped, but not under the tree as I have a nine month old son!!

I buy presents for people all year long, not on some arbitrary date that mass retailing tells me I'm supposed to.
All year long / I see something that would be special to someone / I have the money to buy / I buy
Simple giving when it really means something
