Kim-- I also bought a couple things online too. Maybe someday I'll do it all that way but I enjoy the 'activity' of shopping, just not during Xmas.
Also by getting everything so early, I find things for my grandkids that they 'just gotta have!'. Both of my married DDs have lots of in-laws and if I don't buy something early, they will have already gotten it and I'll have to keep looking for something else.
Ha..not this year!! (P.S. one of their MILs also reads this board and she'll see this....:-)....and know that I've beaten her to the punch this year.) Gotcha, Mimi :D :D
