Gathering Habits

As the holidays grow closer, do you find your Gather habits changing? Do you gather more, in hopes for an extra card or two for Christmas? Do you gather less, because of parties, shopping, decorating, and family time?

I'm finding I gather more right now, at least while the kids are at school, in the hopes of eeking out a few extra points here and there for gift cards. With get togethers coming up, I know I won't be gathering as much on weekends, or during the evenings, so I'm trying to get more done during the day.

How about you?

I am finding that I am gathering alot more! This sounds bad but I keep thinking about all the stuff I have to do tomorrow and thursday to prepare the dinner and I keep thinking about the points I will be losing by not being able to be on gather. I feel hrrible for thinking that way, but I cant help it, I am addicted to gather.

So far, about the same, but thining that might change after the 1st of Dec. when I start baking cookies, making treats.

I "gather" as often as I can! Rest time is the best for me!

My Gathering has already changed drastically - during the holidays I think last year it was a bit less... but I honestly can't say for sure....

I'm like you -gathering more around the holidays...
Kevin (''The SiteWizard'') V. Nov 25, 2008, 12:31pm EST
I haven't cashed out in months and points don't influence my Gathering time or activities. However, I am looking forward to the 'downtime' over the holidays to catch up with content and members that I have neglected due to time constraints.
Hey, Kevin- feel free to spread the wealth of your points ;)

I gather as much as I can.
B F. Nov 25, 2008, 12:43pm EST
I Gather whenever I can...

I need to earn more....I need it for Christmas!
Cecilia Lyne Nov 25, 2008, 1:02pm EST
I am trying to get a few more gifts cards for Christmas ~ so more.
Lina :-p Nov 25, 2008, 1:02pm EST
My gathering depends on my writers block... If I am motivated to write I am on my blog, if I am motivated to read I am on gather... Getting extra gift cards around the holiday is also a big plus!
Heather C. Nov 25, 2008, 1:10pm EST
Okay, I'll admit it.....since YOU brought it up. I am a severe point whore.
Karen M. Nov 25, 2008, 1:21pm EST
I guess I am doing about the same as always....however, I will be on less as the holidays get closer and closer...just because I am busy !
Charlie B. Nov 25, 2008, 1:37pm EST
I am Gathering less.
golds g. Nov 25, 2008, 1:51pm EST
more gather for me~
tammie p. Nov 25, 2008, 1:58pm EST
i find myself gathering more to be close to people
Brittney R. Nov 25, 2008, 2:46pm EST
Well I won't be earning enough points for another card by Christmas, but I do find myself on here more and more. It's quite addicting.
Vic Needs Coffee Nov 25, 2008, 4:03pm EST
I'm doing the same as usual.
Alexis Newell Nov 25, 2008, 5:47pm EST
I've only been here a few months, but basically the same thing. I've got my money for Christmas spending put aside, and yesterday I go to my goal of getting a few extra dollars through Gather to pay for a plane ticket to Florida for the holidays.

Now it's back to my original goal, a huge sectional sofa for my new living room in the house we are a building.
Denise W. Nov 25, 2008, 6:38pm EST
About the same
Carla B. Nov 25, 2008, 8:51pm EST
I try to spend more time on gather, but that just doesn't really work with all the extra stuff I have to do in real life. I have dozens and dozens of cookies and holiday candies to make by the middle of December, along with a few dozen presents to wrap. I also still need to decorate my house, find a new kitten for Elliott, sort through old toys to make room for the new Christmas toys, etc. Ugh. My to do list is huge for every day for the next two weeks.
Kelli C. Nov 25, 2008, 9:59pm EST
I definitly am on here more. Trying to get my points for gift cards. However I have very little points since I havent really 'gathered' at all. Actually we just moved and things arent as hectic anymore with my children getting a little older and the move being over and my son being at school some of the day. That gives me time to 'gather' while my Daughter naps.
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Nov 25, 2008, 11:04pm EST
I think that I'm spending about the same amount of time as usual on here.
Marsha S. Nov 25, 2008, 11:54pm EST
same as always here.....here when I can be! Seems I can't get more than 40-60 pts a day no matter how much time I think I am spending here
Karen R. Nov 26, 2008, 12:04am EST
I have been doing about normal, which varies day to day. I have had a lot going on lately, so have not had time to really focus much on Gather.
Janet "Jax" B. Nov 26, 2008, 1:36am EST
Not really...I only Gather less when hubby is home.
Stephannie H. Nov 26, 2008, 4:29am EST
I Gather daily. I cannot do much when hubby and daughter are home though.
Monica H. Nov 26, 2008, 10:24am EST
I think I just do about the same as normal. Just whenever time allows, I love to get on Gather!!
Tina B. Nov 26, 2008, 10:48am EST
I'm gathering it up! Must get giftcards!
ron h. Nov 27, 2008, 3:44pm EST
I gather 12-14 hrs a day! slow,slow,slow
