And so the shopping begins.........

The Christmas magic begins like a light switch that comes out of no where. Lots and lots of shopping!

Do you start shopping super early and save a xmas fund all year long or wait til the last minute?

Also are you going to be more conservative this holiday season with gift giving?

I hate to admit that I procrastinate when it comes to getting all my shopping done. Ever year I say it will be different but it never happens. This year I planned to have all my shopping done and I haven't bought a single thing yet. Not a Black Friday shopper. I can't stand the crowds and if I know what I want online shopping is much cozier. The hustle bustle is fun out there just not on the weekends when everyone is running around crazed.

Suddenly the two loops, 410 and 1604, around San Antonio develop a state of perpetual rush hour.  Bumper to Bumper traffic looking for sales from the first moment up until the last.

Heck no, no shopping for me.  I totally missed Thanksgiving with my toothache, no way am I going out for anything but more Ibuprofen and some zantac. 

I see no possible way I could spend less this Christmas than I have for the last 2-3 years.  I'll be lucky to get Santa Claus out of the back yard and get the huge wasp nest off his crotch (wish I had a picture of that for ya!) and a lightbulb inside.

Don't forget to shop online for huge sales this Cyber Monday!

I leave it until the last minute usually.  I like to get it done in one hit if I can.  Everywhere just gets so packed with people who all seem to have the hump for some reason or other....probably because they are doing Chrimbo shopping and it's packed with people!

Thanks for the heads-up about cyber Monday Lips!! I have ordered a few things already and will do more.

I normally wait until the last minute to finish up tho.I must get some kind of rush from it!!

I do love seeing all the Christmas decorations I just have a hard time with the crowds.

i hate shopping its gift card city this year

I wait for the last minute to do anything and even then I'm not in a hurry.

I always wait for the last minute and that does not bother me one bit

I see no possible way I could invest less this The holidays are than I have for the last 2-3 decades.  I'll be fortunate to get Santa claus Claus out of the garden and get the large wasp home off his genitals (wish I had images of that for ya!) and a mild within.

Lmaoooooooooo I wish you had an image of that too elzzz!

I started my shopping. I've a small dent in the list but I've got a long way to go.
