I am about half way done now. I still don't have alot of ideas for my aunt or my mom so I don't have anything for them yet.

Well, this weekend, I got something for my 3 sister in laws....my 3 neices...and 2 of my favorite coworkers. I am nowhere near done yet, but I am off to a good start.

Wait, I almost forgot....I finished my granddaughter as far as clothing is concerned. I still yet have to buy a few toy items...its not christmas unless I buy a toy or two. I finished 2 great-neices...they are little, one will be 2 in November and one will be 1 in April...so they dont require much. I would say I am off to a good start considering I usually wait until Black Friday to get started at all. This year, I am WAY ahead of myself. But of course, there is still LOTS to do!!

So far, I bought one gift and it's a latch-hook that I still need to work on. So I technically only have half a gift ready for Christmas. I really need to get on the ball here!

I have bought a few things, but I know what I'm getting just about everyone. Waiting for the Black Friday ads to see if there will be any good deals!

I live in Texas and all of my family is in NY so shopping is a challenge. I usually send a couple of boxes worth of things ahead. I have something for everyone already. I'm nearly done with stocking stuffers. I have kind of taken on the stocking stuffer role as one year no one bought anything for the stockings! Now I make sure they are all filled. I shop throughout the year for everything.

I am about halfway done. I have less people to buy for this year.

I've done exactly zip, zero, nada. But that's ok, since I will have very little money this year and can only buy for my two children who are still at home.

My wife has ours just about done! We'll still go to the malls in December to soak up some of the season but having the shopping done will make it a much more enjoyable trip! Plus, by shopping early, we saved a bundle!

Not nearly enough. I got a tiny start on it but I have long way to go. I don't know whats wrong with me this year. Usually I would have already had my stuff ready to be wrapped. I am going to do alot on Toysrus website. I just found out that they have a clearance section cheesy

I started in June and have bought 2 gifts each for 7 of my grandchildren, plus some gifts for my children and their spouses.
We get hit really hard in November with birthdays, so the earlier I start buying for Christmas, the better. So I guess I'm about half done. I still have to get my grandchildren something to wear and some more gifts for my children and their spouses.
Lastly, I shop for my hubby (he's really the most difficult).

Besides playing Santa for DD & DH, I only have six gifts and three stocking to still buy. All kids are done, just getting adult stuff now. That's the hard part!

I've bought one thing. A teenage mutant ninja turtle monster truck for my three year old cousin. But I think I'm gonna give it to him now. Because I really want to open it. It's so cool!!!

Sadly...none yet:(, but we usually never start until black friday. We are so last minute with shopping. My hubby usually goes out the week of Christmas to shop for me.

I have gotten quite a few things already, but there is still plenty that I need to get. I only shop for my daughter, but I get a gift each for my great niece and a nephew.

I have 5 presents in house, ideas for 4 others, and simply no clue what I will get for the last 3.

We are about 2/3 of the way. I think. I like to buy all of the larger gifts first and I just love to look and buy smaller personal gifts closer to Christmas. I am not normally a shopper but when the malls are decorated and the shoppers are shopping, I just take it all in and love every minute of it. Especially when I am just there for xtras or what I call fluff.
