I am not! Usually, I have it pretty much knocked out by November. I am starting to panic.

Yes. Finally finished. I wasn't able to get out and do much shopping because I've been having a great deal of pain for the last few months, so I did what I could and opted to buy gift carts/certificates. Yesterday I went to Safeway to get a few groceries and picked up 3 boxes of chocolates, today I went to the bank and stopped at a kitchen store and bought a gift certificate and a lovely card for my brother and his girl friend.

I also bought myself more stuff! I've been wanting some martini glasses and a new roaster. They were 50% off and at the till I got another 20%, so I was thrilled.

Heck no!
If I could just stick to my list for my three children it would be so much easier! I think I am finished buying for my daughter, who is 2 1/2 years old. She is so easy to buy for which is a bad thing! I still have some thing to get for my 2 boys and the rest of my family.

I also have a few things still to get for Chester Cheetah.


I hope to be done with all of it by the end of next week.

I'm not quite finished, but know what I still need to get and where, so I figure one more hour of shopping in the next week and a half.

Nuh uh...might give me away!
My mom, grandma and I did our annual Christmas shopping yesterday. In 5 hours my grandma finished while my mom and I are almost finished.

Hey, I got the kids taken care of, it's the adults that I have trouble with.

I'm not finished yet. I still need to shop for my boy friend, Jack as well as my best friend if she decides she wants to exchange gifts this year. I also need to make the wreathes I'm giving to Jack's mom, aunt, and grandmother for Christmas (already bought the stuff, but I need to put it together). Other than that, I'm pretty much finished aside from homemade candies/treats I plan to make for the rest of my family and getting some stocking stuffers.

There's no place like home
The only thing I've finished (and shipped) was a secret santa present. I haven't even started the rest of my shopping. DH and I have agreed to limit ourselves to 1 present each to each other, and we've made an agreement with some friends to not exchange gifts this year. Since our families no longer exchange gifts (we have too many family members anyway), we only have a few gifts to buy.

I'm not worried (yet).

Nope
I'm finished shopping for the hubby and BIL, and got a couple shirts for my friend I workout with.

We still have to buy for FIL (looking at VHF handheld radios for when he's out on the boat), MIL, and my parents and brother (announcing last minute they want to exchange this year.
)

I finished the other day and then I found out that my two step nieces might not be able to come up because their mother doesn't want to obey the court order and my poor brother inlaw is fixing to deploy to afghanastan and wants to see his kids before he goes, but I am praying that I get to and I have everyone's presents except for a magnet for my aunt and her daughter and granddaughter who are also cat lovers.

DH always waits until the last minute. Of course, he only has me to buy for, and I do the buying for everybody else.


And wait...I picked out my gift from DH and bought it. So I guess he doesn't have to shop at all this year.

Same here!!! Besides, hate the traffic at this time of the year. It seems everybody is out having fun. The weather is cooler (I live in the tropics), more overseas relatives come to visit, and people feel like spending more money.

I got all my Secret Santa shopping done. Other than that, I haven't even started.
I am thinking about what I want to get, though.
