Moderator | Who Has Started Their Christmas Shopping? I've just started doing mine. I want to beat the Christmas rush from last year. I was a procrastinator and left my Christmas shopping till the last minute last year. Never again will I do that. Shopping and getting through the busy mall is frustrating let alone being able to find a parking stall. Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture!

Ex-Moderator | I like to get all my shopping done in one day. That's getting harder to do every year, though.
Truthfully, I loathe Xmas shopping and only really celebrate the holiday out of obligation to my family. I will say, I think Xmas needs to stay in storage untill after halloween. |

Last year my mom and I made these gift baskets with Ghiradelli Chocolates and other things she ordered and gave them to everyone. It saved a lot of shopping time since everyone got the same thing. I'm not sure if we'll do it again this year. Everyone seemed happy with them though. You can never go wrong with chocolate right looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

i can't stand going to the malls during the holidays, it makes shopping so frustrating. You got these obnoxious people who don't know how to say excuse me and their kids are running all over everywhere stepping all over your shoes pulling down clothes. i think i had the most laughter in the parking lot one time after i gave a lady the finger....another couple of cars were vying for a parking space and i remember a woman literally stopping her car and rolling down her window to curse the other driver out!!!
i think i feel the most sorry for the customer sales people at the counters....the people who give them the most hell i remember one time a lady just didn't flat out know if she wanted this gown or not...she didn't pay any mind that there was A LONG LINE behind her....it was crazy. i especially can't stand when "i'll be home for christmas" comes on over the loudspeaker, no matter where i'm at, or what mood i'm in, that song depresses me and makes me want to just have a fit in the middle of floor crying... I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

My wife bought a doll that we're saving to give to my daughter as a stocking-stuffer.

my dad definitely isn't. he's one of the rare folks out there--he doesn't mind if you don't get him a present. being with family's more enough than a gift for him. | |

We have exhausted just about every gift type for my dad. Clothing, tools, gift certificates to Home Depot... This year I'm searching for obscure Honduran music CD's.

I started - I'm visiting family next weekend near Liverpool and so it's better than getting the shopping done later and posting it. | |
