THE COUNT DOWN!!!!!!
« on: July 08, 2009, 01:30:23 pm »
WHEN DO YOU NORMALLY START YOUR COUNT DOWN FOR CHRISTMAS?

Seems like christmas is so far away yet so close. Sometimes people wait to get gifts but if you have a big family then youknow that christmas shopping starts a little earlier. Normally waiting til later normally means that I forgot some people because I find it hard to think and focus in all that christmas shopping traffic.  :angry7: :BangHead:

SO WHEN DO YOU PLAN OR WHEN DO YOU NORMALLY DO YOUR SHOPPING?  :dontknow:

I usually have everything done by Thanksgiving that way when everyone is mad dashing through stores I can do a leisurely stroll with a "ha ha, you waited till the last minute laugh!" I usually start in August.

Christmas is less than 6  months away.June went by fast and it is already the middle of July.August and September will go by fast too.When October comes before you know it, it is halloween,then thanksgiving and the day after thanksgiving the stores are busy until Christmas with a lot of Christmas shoppers buying presents and people buying food for christmas get togethers.

Usually at the beginning of December, but my family gets together the first or second weekend in December for our big family Christmas, we are talking 5 bros and sisters, spouses, kids, grandkids, over 50 people, so now I start at Thanksgiving or a few weeks earlier.

I start my Christmas shopping in November after Thanksgiving because after that, everyone is ready to get all of the Christmas shopping and decorating done....and you can feel the Christmas spirit in the air and it makes it much more enjoyable.  :thumbsup:

i christmas shop all year long!
i pick up things here and there, when i have the money.

i find that if i wait until the end of the year to start,
its harder on my wallet. plus, it keeps me from impulse buying.
