Christmas shopping is an all year thing for me.  Whenever I spot something I know someone in my family would love I buy it and put it away for Christmas.  This makes it less stressful as Christmas draws nigh.  :)

I don't do much Christmas shopping any more.  There just doesn't seem to be the big need to buy a whole bunch of stuff we don't really need.

I only shop for charity. I make earrings for the ladies in my life and that is about it. I do my charity shopping year round, picking up toys throughout the year as i find them on sale.

Still too early for me. I usually begin Christmas shopping on Black Friday or a little early. Majority of time my family members do not provide me their Christmas list and I just don't have the time to shop right now either due to my work schedule.

Don't do much shopping for gifts but do a lot of browsing.  Decorating and food are where my dollars go.

No I don't usually start Xmas shopping until after Thanksgiving. I do buy my holiday cards and a calendar before then, but hold off on the real gifts until I have some decent idea of what others in my family actually want for Xmas. I hate spending money on random items that don't get used.

I like to begin shopping early, and I enjoy shopping for the kids in the family.  Frankly, I could do without shopping for the adults at this point.  We all have so much stuff at this point that whenever we pass on there will likely be the largest yard sale this county has ever seen.

I always start in January when things goon clearance fromthe year before and shop clearances all year to save money. I am done for the most part, except there are always last minute things that someone wants.
