Default I've Been Christmas Shopping!!
What fun, shopping on the net.. No crowds, no hassle, no not finding what you want, no trudging from store to store and no sore feet.

I am almost done, I think, with the Grands, except for the college girl. I give money to SSons and will get something for DD's and DSIL's New Macs??.

The job I hate is wrapping..arrrrghhhh!!!!

How about all of you? Finished? Started? In the middle of?

yep, i'm pretty much done. there's always something that turns up last minute tho. i've done a lot of internet and QVC shopping this yr. it's just too hard to go into stores.

but, i also buy during the yr and kind of have a stockpile of gifts with different people in mind.

I know and I usually do that, but it's getting way expensive, so just doing that on a few.

DD usually comes over a week before, brings a bottle of Asti and we have a wrapping party.

I'm done buying.....just waiting for everything to arrive. I saved gift bags from past Christmases and will be using those. All I have to do is put the tissue paper in the bags (along with the gift) and put a name tag on them. I've had to really be careful with my spending this year but I feel like I did really good. Like Nancy, I shopped alot through QVC.....you just cannot beat their easy pay option.

I was done long ago. I shop well in advance. I am not a crowd kinda gal. I get confused, foggy and stressed. I simply am not able to elbow gouge like I used to for the bargains.

The DH on the other hand, has some catching up to do.

I should probably start sometime...

I got off easy this year... My siblings are buying only for their kids and we decided not to exchanged between us... I don't have any kids.

Shouldn't be too hard finding something for Mom and Dad...
