Pam S. Sep 28, 2008, 10:38am EDT
No, and I'm not sure I am going to do any X-mas shopping this year, the way the economy is I don't know who can afford to shop.

No. I wish I had though. I've been trying. I've asked my niece and nephew for lists of what they want several times now, so i'm trying at least!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 28, 2008, 11:54am EDT
I've got a few things that I've picked up here and there. I will continue to do so until the very last day. The later the better the sales are and I just love those sales these days!
Joyce S. Sep 28, 2008, 12:14pm EDT
I try, but the bills keep getting in the way. I usually end up shopping on Christmas Eve for a few items. I do try to have the bulk done way before that though,
Randall C. Sep 28, 2008, 12:17pm EDT
YEP I HAVE...GOT TWO SO FAR
Samantha V. Sep 28, 2008, 12:19pm EDT
Not yet, I'll probably wait until the last freakin' minute and stress myself out! LOL
Chelle M. Sep 28, 2008, 12:26pm EDT
I've started looking around at stuff. A lot of my stuff will most likely come from online sites, so it's always nice to look early! =)
Karen F. Sep 28, 2008, 1:20pm EDT
yes, I have a few things but have to get going because it will sneak up before I know it.
rainne chandler Sep 28, 2008, 1:38pm EDT

Janet "Jax" B. Sep 28, 2008, 1:46pm EDT
Yes...I have quite a few people finished already.
Thomas Millington Sep 28, 2008, 1:58pm EDT
No, there will be no Christmas this year.
Rae M. Sep 28, 2008, 2:00pm EDT
No but I will probably start this week.
Adelaide M. Sep 28, 2008, 2:01pm EDT
Yes, I have. I'm about halfway done with mine. I also do the shopping for my boyfriend's family as well. Who knows what they would end up with otherwise. Between the two of us, we have huge families, so I start early so I can enjoy the Christmas season.
sheila ~the hapless housewife~ j. Sep 28, 2008, 2:21pm EDT
Yes.
Tom Wa Sep 28, 2008, 2:33pm EDT

Yes
Holli G. Sep 28, 2008, 2:48pm EDT
I wish I did, I am going to start soon though.
Marianne R. Sep 28, 2008, 3:57pm EDT
Oh heck no
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Sep 28, 2008, 4:09pm EDT
Oh heck no. I haven't even thought about it. I am about to move to a new house my family will be renting. Plus my middle child will turn 10 on the 8th of Oct. I sure don't have any left over for Christmas. I don't even want to think about how close it is to Christmas. Lets get to Thanksgiving first.
Bryan B. Sep 28, 2008, 4:32pm EDT
Nope. Im a last minute shopper. The deals get better and better as shops try to get rid of overstock as Christmas approaches.
donna h. Sep 28, 2008, 4:47pm EDT
yes
J W. Sep 28, 2008, 5:46pm EDT
no but I am getting ready to
Angela A. Sep 28, 2008, 5:48pm EDT
No way!
I always have to wait till the last minute.
I have no money.
Deloris Wright Sep 28, 2008, 6:34pm EDT
No not yet!
Brittney R. Sep 28, 2008, 7:02pm EDT
Yes. I'm a bargain hunter, and I always pick up things here and there all year long. I am almost finished with my son. His birthday is 3 weeks before Christmas, so I have to start shopping early.

My husband and I have decided not to buy individual gifts for each other for Christmas and our anniversary anymore. Instead we're going to pick one thing we'd like to have for our house, but normally wouldn't buy...and we'll buy it together. This year we're probably going to get a laptop--we're waiting until closer to Christmas when the sales are better.
Debra C. Sep 28, 2008, 7:18pm EDT
No. It will be either about prices (when they come down) or gift cards (which are best purchased close to the time of gifting).
dee b. Sep 28, 2008, 7:25pm EDT
No I haven't, as the money just isn't there. I'm not sure there is going to be much in the way of presents this year, if things keep going as they are. But Christmas is more than presents, and too many have forgotten that.
Netty B. Sep 28, 2008, 7:59pm EDT
Not shopping yet, but have been thinking about it
Carla B. Sep 28, 2008, 9:23pm EDT
We are just about done Christmas shopping now. I still need to buy my husband one or two more things, and I still need to decide what I want. We're done shopping for our son, except stocking stuffers, though. My little sister is doing the shopping for us for our nieces, since she likes to shop, and I can just send her money and she can hand deliver the presents, instead of us having to ship them there. My parents and in laws are already taken care of, and we don't buy for siblings, other than cards and pictures.
Kathleen T. Sep 28, 2008, 9:50pm EDT
No,not really,I have started to pick up a couple of stocking stuffers,I wish I had more money right now,and then I would go Christmas shopping.I always say I am going to start early,but the money is never their.
Heidianna "Coriander" T. Sep 28, 2008, 10:16pm EDT
Oh yes!
Bob B. Sep 28, 2008, 10:22pm EDT
Yes!
Steph-in-NE ..... Sep 28, 2008, 10:25pm EDT

keisha scott Sep 28, 2008, 11:17pm EDT

Charlie B. Sep 28, 2008, 11:55pm EDT
Yes
meg pattinson Sep 29, 2008, 12:28am EDT

Capt Seaweed Sep 29, 2008, 12:40am EDT
In my part of the world Halloween comes first then Thanksgiving then Christmas. That is if it hasn't been outlawed. I haven't seen the morning papers yet.
Otelia S. Sep 29, 2008, 12:40pm EDT
I have only shopped fro my 2 girls.
The rest of my family and I are letting each other KEEP their christmas money for GAS prices and everything else that is going up and not to take offense in not getting presents ...and we all feel that 's the best present we can give each other. We're all going to dine together though.
Debra R. Sep 30, 2008, 1:20am EDT
Nope. Gave up Christmas shopping about 10 years ago- it has been bliss every year since.
Meredith B. Oct 1, 2008, 11:59am EDT
yes...started a month ago... so that credit cards don't get used :)
Charles A. B. Oct 1, 2008, 8:55pm EDT
No...but I want too.
Hollie ~TNR Works~ Oct 6, 2008, 11:21am EDT
I've looked at a few things online and marked them in my favorites, but I haven't actually "bought" anything yet.
Patricia J. Oct 8, 2008, 8:20pm EDT
Yes.
