    Now that I have 2 young children, holiday shopping has become more difficult. I now do most of my shopping online, but am sometimes disappointed when I open up packages and need to deal with online returns.

    I listened to all the family during the year and made a list of the things they mentioned they needed or wanted. It made shopping easier. Only thing left to do is baking goodies for the neighbors. Not every year goes this easy. Thank goodness this year did. You can do it! Just set your mind to the task, remember a priceless gift comes from your heart and now your wallet.

    i have never been done early and I am telling you what it feels fantastic. I took advantage of a good bit of online shopping. It was great not having to battle at the stores and I got great deals too! :)

    I'm all done but i always do my Christmas shopping early.I don't like crowds so i learned a long time ago to get it all done before Thanksgiving so i can actually enjoy Christmas.

    I'm done shopping my presnet are wrapped I could get a couple of stocking stuffers like candy canes but other then that done. My Husband on the oher hand just asked me today to make a christmas list and he is not a shopper so most of my gifts will most likely be late if I actually end up getting anything lol...Merry CHristms and Happy New Years.

    I am completely done. Stockings are even stuffed! My kids are 1 and 2 so I can get away with putting the gifts out early. I started shopping in July, and whenever I saw a great deal I picked it up and stored it away in the closet. By the beginning of December the closet was overflowing and I had purchased everyone's gifts!

    I am usually done in October but this year the stocks were low and the prices were better after Thanksgiving. I was able to get more this year and spend less. The coupons and discounts were great and I did not pay full price on anything. Many items I had gift cards I collected through out the year, so we did not feel a hard hit. I even think the gifts are much better this year for everyone we bought.
