I have, but I'm doing it all on line. Lots of sites are offering free shipping so I'm taking advantage.

I am seriously staying AWAY from the malls this season. Unfortunately I have to walk through Newport Center Mall every night in order to get home (it's in the direct path of the train and my 'hood).

Just Barley have I started. I was bored yesterday so I looked on Ebay for some Denver Broncos stuff for my stepbrother. I bought a NICE leather cap for 20 bucks. It usually sells for double in stores. So its a start on the shopping. I still have to buy for my other stepbrother, Mom, Dad, Stepmom, Significant other of my mothers, and Grandma. I plan on staying in this whole week, and figure if I can stay in for the first two weeks of December, I can buy what I want for those people, and have money left over for the XMAS party and My rent. Now I just have to hope that my job will pay me for my Vacation.

I would if I wasn't always broke. I'll start the middle of next month. My brother and I have a tradition of always giving each other goofy gifts. I think I've "won" every year.

i'd have to ask my wife...she doesn't tell me anything. i just watch our bank balance go down and pray the gifts are all for me.

Nope, I never do it early and I say I will every year. But since I am unemployed at the moment, I have a feeling my friends and family will be getting some homemade gifts. lol

I don't start my Christmas shopping until around December 22nd or 23rd. It's just easiest that way.

IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME-AHHH!

Smart idea staying away from the Malls Fuzzy. It gets totally insane there.
I am keeping it real simple, I am just taking my family to a broadway show. Saves time on trying to figure out a gift and then going to the mall (a.k.a. Insane Assylum).

i wanted to start last weekend, but after an hour of walking around the mall, i got bored and lost interest. i work better under pressure, so i'll probably wait until the last minute.

I haven't started yet. My shopping is easy, though. One trip to the liquor store covers it. Jack Daniels for everyone!:)

Seriously, though, I have to hunker down, and brave the stores. Getting home after 7pm doesn't help, either.

I too am a last minute shopper.I have not even thought of what to get people much less attempt to buy it. I'll start and finish on the 22nd or 23rd.

I have no desire whatsoever to start shopping yet. I will probably end up buying everything like 2 days before X-mas and just not even wrapping anything. That or ill just give out money

I'm almost completely done. I made alot of crafty presents, picked up a few things at the mall and shopped for nearly everything on the magical wonderfulness that is amazon.com. (Is there anything better than supersaver shipping, I think not!)

I plan on not having to run out and buy anything during the Christmas rush at the mall. It incites this homicidal urge within me and well, I don't like that. Although I know I'll get dragged there a few times with my mommy whose the classic last minute shopper.

Not yet. I have the same mentality that it isn't even Thanksgiving yet, well at least not til tomorrow but still. I always wait until the last minute, the last possible minute. I save up until then and then just blow my wad in one day so there is no hassle.
