    Has anyone started Christmas shopping yet??

    I HAVE!! I love getting it started early...so i can get it done sooner. It also helps to buy a few things each month before Christmas, so you arent spending a ton of money in one month alone. My husband's birthday is in December too...so i have to buy extra for him. Anyway, i love shopping, and it is much more stress free, if you start early, and if you get it done sooner, you can enjoy the holiday without the stress, of how much you still need to buy...


    Anyone else start yet? Or am I the only nut?

    I attend ceramic classes during the year and I make several things for gifts. As well, I take holidays in October and November and get my gifts all bought, wrapped and sent by end of November.

    Hehe. My mom usually starts it 2 weeks before Christmas. I start it, the first week of December.

    Ugh. I don't even want to think about it... This is going to be a crappy Christmas. I don't have much money because of the wedding at all.

    Yep, I've started and I'm about 1/3 of the way done with ideas for just about everyone else. I hate crowds and the only way for me to really avoid them is to do the shopping early or online.

    I have purchased one gift. And it is for my mom, the easiest one to shop for! I could buy gifts for her every day as she is easy to please and has the same interests as me! I buy her things that I know I would enjoy myself!!!!!

    Robyn, I wish I were more like you. As many as I have to buy for, I should start earlier!!!!

    Does thinking about it count??

    My brother and sister can be difficult to buy for, so I am already trying to think of what I can get them, and I have a gift for my parents in mind as well.

    No, haven't started yet. I LOVE Christmas shopping though That's because I love Christmas, everything's so beautiful and everyone's happy. (But I have a feeling that this Christmas will be worst than the last)
    Still, I can't wait until Christmas. I think I'm going to start shopping in December, or if I find good gifts now. If I start now with the shopping, I'm just going to keep on thinking about Christmas every single day until it gets here

    Nope not this year, sometimes I buy things during the year, if it is on sale and put it away, but so far nothing.

    I find it difficult to buy for some members of the family because I have a limited budget, and they seem to have everything they could wish for already, and this year it will be a lean xmas I think, we have had so many extra expenses.

    My family's birthdays start in October, Novemeber and we have three in December, so its a rather expensive time for us.

    To be honest, I feel somewhat depressed each xmas, and that is not how it should be, so much pressure financially burdened on us.

    Right now I just don't care about xmas, sorry folks, just the way I feel.

    I have! Got my mom all taken care of. And my brother and sister in law in Maryland(made them a knittied/crocheted blanketl. Just learning to knit so did that on the inside and crocehted the edges. I like starting early because I can spend more on everyone than if having to do it all at once.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I've thought about Christmas cards, and how to wriggle out of hosting Christmas lunch this year (I just don't have enough dining chairs, what a shame! ) but nothing else as yet.

    All done just have to knit 4 sweaters for teddy bears. It helped that I got 40% off every thing at work this year due to the fires.
