So this year I started shopping little by little after Labor Day as things showed up in the stores, or go on sale, etc.
I am now officially done.
I just need to wrap it all....ick.
But I think I'll do this again next year.

Nicely done! I tend to stay away from the big shopping malls by shopping the smaller stores and/or ordering on-line.
While I am not phobic about it, I just can't tolerate crowds very well. (always been that way)

I order every Christmas gift from Amazon. One click and I'm done. Free shipping with Prime and no min. order. I have been shopping the daily deals all year. I saved a bundle and have Christmas all bought. I may find a few personal things for my DDs to give them but the big wow presents are already in my closet. I even have DD's March birthday gift bought and put away. You can't beat the prices on Amazon daily deals.

Going to be a few small items and cash. Kids are grown and grandkids will get some toys. Keeping it simple and easy peasy here. No big shopping of anykind here. Matter of fact, I will work Black Friday and enjoy the peace and quiet since most people will be out shopping.

Thanks, I'm going to go over there now and find out about it.

I give a combination of store bought, Amazon shipped and homemade gifts throughout the year and stash them as I go. Unfortunately, I can't always remember where I put them by the time I need to wrap gifts... :oops: We have a large house with a badly cluttered basement, mostly full of fabric in large plastic boxes. I still wonder what happened to that Barney video tape I bough my daughter when she was a toddler...she's in college now. I'm sure that video tape is somewhere in the basement... :mrgreen:

I have done that before too (though not this year) and I think there is nothing better than sitting back and enjoying myself while everyone hustles, bustles, stands in line, and fights over parking places. Ahh, talk about The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Not to be Shopping!!!) haha! :lol:
