Sooo... I haven't started yet. I seem to do this every year. I keep telling myself (everyday for the last month), "I'll go tomorrow". I think I just hate shopping. Just wondering, is this a normal routine for most of you or do you guys actually get your shopping done early and what's your excuse.

I think I'll go shopping tomorrow. Seriously!

If I do any, it's usually around August. I won't go near stores around this time.

You live alone and don't have any friends right?

I did mine yesterday, but I'm going to have to go back down town and return half of it because I've found out other people have bought the same thing months ago and can no longer return it. Time to think of new presents on the fly. :icon33:

did mine yesterday. almost bollocksed it up by drinking too much at a lunchtime works do. left everything at the stores to get wrapped, went for a quick drink with a girl i used to work with, then had to go on a pissed mission with a handful of receipts to retrieve all my xmassy swag.

bought 6 video games this year, mad how many people are getting into the things now.

I usually start looking around November. Try to shop online for the most part. This year I couldn't figure out what to get most of my family so I kept putting it off. Yesturday I bought giftcards :olo:

cards will be sent (emailed) tomorrow.

christmas is merely an excuse for me not to go to work.

I dont like the materialistic aspect of christmas, and I hate getting someone something by feeling I need to do so. Then spending time browsing through crap until I find something that sorta fits that person and bullshitting some story around that item just doesnt cut it for me, so I avoid it.

Since the kids are basically grown and no grandkids yet, I don't really celebrate christmas anymore. Never was big on the family gathering thing anyway and am glad that shit is over.

Just finished mine. I am tired my wallet is still smoking
The only satisfaction I got out of the hole day was messing with parking spot stalkers, people following you to find a good parking spot but I would walk in and out of lanes :icon30: makes them sooo fuking mad.
