Christmas/Holiday shopping???

i've started 'collecting' a few things for the kiddos but that is about it. i do, however, have a good list going of what i actually need to buy...which is a BIG difference from years past. lol i don't mind shopping, just don't like wondering around with no ideas....drives me crazy and makes me end up buying things i truly didn't want to.

how about you?

Me too make list! I never ever go Christmas shopping without knowing what to get!

I`ve bought one so far...
A big book called "the make up Bible", by Vendela Kirsebom....

Now I think she is veryyyy blond, but my 15 year old niece thinks she is just full of wisdom!!!

I have about 6 prezzies taken care of....but we go overboard and I have about 74 to go! Too many close family members and kids and darn old SANTA NEVER does his own shopping!

OMG!!! 74 to go...????
You`re so right about that lazy old man... .never does the shopping but take all the credits... :suspect:

I have about 30 to go or something, but I buy more than one for my children and DH, mom and dad!

I LOVE Christmas!!!!

the funnest part i enjoy is buying stocking stuffers!!! :rendeer:

I love christmas, & i am as bad as the kid's, i shop all year round & go way over board at christmas, with present's, sweet's, decoration's, food & alchole!!

Since having kaci im finding it so much more easy to buy for a girl. & with her being the youngest she does get more, but not too much more, kwim?

I haven't been shopping yet, but guess what Sarah!!! I was just listening to Christmas music!!!! I turned it off as my DH came in the room and he's thinking I'm kookoo!!!

Kookoo, i know that word, rotflmao

Here is another one that is mad for CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

I've made most of my cards but haven't started with gifts as such yet - we don't go that overboard tho'

OMGsh...forgot about Stocking stuffers

I've gotten a few stocking stuffers that's all. I find it so easy to fill DD's stocking but the boys I find harder.

yeah - I find the boys harder ... especially as they are mostly adult now

WOW -- haven't even thought about Christmas....

I have my son's birthday in a couple of weeks and that's as far as I've gotten with gifts.

all my boys birthdays are over by June ... so I have plenty of time to think Christmas

Boys are harder.

All my kids b/day's are nov & dec.

I have...
dd ~10th nov
ds#1 ~11th nov
ds#2 ~15th dec

Ds#2 was'nt meant to be born for that christmas but he was 3 week's early & was meant to be a millenium baby, but he wanted his christmas present!!! lol.

LOL! My St Patrick's day baby was almost 4 weeks early too.

I have a few gifts hidden in my closet so far! I usually pick up a few things here and there, whenever I find something I know the kids would love, or when it's a good bargain. That way our expenses are more spread out. I have somewhat of an idea what to get everyone for Christmas, but the majority of shopping will have to wait until late November I think.

i agree, my boys are harder to buy for!

I'll start shopping in a few weeks. I never start really early but I'm definitely not a last minute shopper either.

I'm taking Kolette Hall's 'Giving Well 08' class at BPS - thought I'd get a ton of ideas from that. Gotta say I'm not overly impressed with it tho' Thought about cancelling but for the $25 admin fee, I'd only get $10 back (which is a li'l bit under £5) - not really worth it. So I guess I might as well stay with it now.
Have started collecting alterable bits for gifts tho.
