i have all but about 5 presents to buy - i buy between 44 and 50 each year. so i buy them throughout the year. my friends all think that i am nuts that i am almost done. Does anyone else do this - or am i being too anal?

I am amost done too! It makes me feel better that someone else does the same thing. I really had to plan this year because I am on a budget so I have been shopping as I can. My friends think I am nuts too, but I don't care! I'm ready!!

I don't think you're being anal. I imagine it must be easier on the wallet buying a gift here and there, rather than buying all of them at once.
It also must be nice to be done before December even rolls around, that way you can avoid the large crowds and traffics at the mall.
Personally, I don't buy anything before October, if only because I'd be too afraid they would get that item by the time Christmas came around.

Ofcourse you're not anal! Well done for being so organised. I had 44 people to buy for last year, and as i'm only 19 and I live on my own I ended up broke in January! This year I've told everyone i'm only buying for immediate family and best best friends. This has cut my list down to 15, and i've bought 6 gifts so far.
However, for all those cousins and aunts i'm not buying gifts, I am baking christmas cookies for them. I've already made and cut the dough, and the unbaked cookies are in my freezer waiting for me to bake them in December.
Happy holidays

No, because I have 100% of my shopping done, because this year im not buying presents for ANYONE! But its cheaper to get it earlier in the year

No, i haven't even started. I like going shopping when they have all the decorations and stuff up. I save up all my money for the whole year just so I can have a shopping spree in december. It feels so good to treat yourself.

Yes, I am all finished. I won't be able to by Christmas this year. I am broke.
