Christmas in July.....Maybe I should start shopping.

well, i found a great way to save money on christmas shopping, christmas is in the winter, so you buy the stuff like winter coats and such in teh summer, they are usually 80 percent cheaper, i shop for winter items in the summer and summer items in the winter, works out great!

I dont count down, I am a last minute type of person so I wait until the week of to start and finish my shopping!

I used to shop in the opposite season as someone mentioned above, but for some reason, I just got out of habit.  Lately I've been starting around September/October.  I'm hoping to get started earlier this year and get it out of the way!

i usually start a week or two before christmas.  last year was so tight on money we started two weeks before and had to budget every present.  This week we can get so and so's present, next week it will be... etc....
This year will hopefully be alot better.

I'm always a last minute guy. Always on the 23rd or 24th, I rush out and get something for everyone close to me.

though my immediate family is small (just my husband, 2 kids and myself) my extended family (from my father's side) is huge!!! so to make the cost of christmas easier on our single-income budget, i shop all year long. every year on dec 26th i make a list of all the people i intend to buy something for, and add any notes of things they might want, or need. as the year goes buy, i'll add and remove things from that list, sometimes using the ideas for birthdays, or other holidays. and throughout the year, whenever i am doing my regular shopping, i'll buy things i come across that i know i can gift, if the budget allows. so for this christmas, i'd say i'm about 80% done already.

i also buy anything that is specifically christmas related (decorations, cards, wrapping paper, etc) right after christmas because its usually clearance

Too many birthdays cumped at the end and the begining of the year for me. Must start early, early, early, well thats always the plan for some reason it never quite happens that way, I planned on already having things underway but havent started yet hopefully soon...we will see.
