I don't know why but I just have a hard time starting my Christmas shopping until around December 17th-20th. How about you?

Almost done.

 

Only person wife and I still have left is the little man. We've started for him, and know what we've still gotta get, just a matter of going and getting it all.

I've started ordering some things on-line but still have a lot to get. Have I mentioned lately how much I dislike Christmas?

I ordered my first gift today. The good thing is I only have a handful of gifts to buy. The wife takes care of the kids and grandkids for us.

The bride does all the heavy lifting. I got her something so just about done!

My wife takes care of everyone but I still need to shop for her. I really need to get it done so I don't have to stress about it.

Like the commercialization of it?

Just about finished. Only a couple random things to get for a couple Godchildren. We do 95% of our shopping online, and start usually in early November, buying a couple gifts a week. Since I got out of retail 10 years ago, every Christmas Eve, my wife and I get up early and go out to breakfast and hit the stores around 8 or 9am and pick up random stocking stuffers, last minute gift cards etc, and any things we need for Christmas Eve dinner, which is when we celebrate Christmas as a family. We are usually home by noon or so...it's never busy first thing in the morning, and we often find some pretty good deals.

Pretty much.

Pretty much.

 

Im with you, that and people become rude and donkey hats.

Bought the last gift this morning. DONE!!

75% done (ordered last online item yesterday) - I’ll finish up next week when I’m off work.

 

The biggest challenge is getting it all done and organized before the traveling starts next weekend. Christmas on Monday is awkward – I feel like everything is starting earlier this year!

Only have Mom and Dad left to buy for.

I have a couple things. Probably going to head to Kenwood on Saturday and get the rest of it done.

You're a brave soul. :lol2:
