ME !! I finished up about 2 weeks ago!

Ashton's 11th birthday was on Thanksgiving so bought her things, Joe's birthday is Dec. 13 and got his presents about a month ago, Tif's birthday is in Feb. Almost finished (she'll be 13 already )

Def. Finished with xmas! I love shopping ahead of time and I pity those who have to go out in this shopping traffic. We had a few errands to run yesterday and there 2 fender benders just within a few blocks of each other.

I can't believe it! I haven't even started yet and i vowed last year that I would NOT let it happen again! so much for that! ha! :happy:

Getting amongst the ravenous masses of crazy wild-eyed, kill for a bargain, stampeding shoppers can really drain the magic out of Christmas. I was going to try and avoid it this year but uh, here we go again.

I've actually taken today off work to shop, and so far the mall is not that bad, but i came home for lunch and will hear back in a few minutes .

Done!!! Phew...

hurrah! I've got a spare riot shield and helmet - let's go shopping! :laugh: :lol:

I'm mostly done (thank you Amazon!). Still have one or two small ones to pick up, but I am nearly there.

I don't go all out and spent so much that I am in debt for years. I have to go shopping for a few things and I am still waiting on something to be delivered from Ebay.

I'm the 'debt for years' kind of shopper this year. :lol: What can I say, I need a raise. :lol:

However, I am officially finished for the year except getting the groceries. I'm usually done by the end of October/middle of November but I just couldn't get it together this year. And I hate, hate, hate!, all the holiday crowds. I don't even like to grocery shop the first week of the month around here. :scared:

I can now say that I am officially done! Yay, no more Christmas headaches for another year. :bouncy:

Huh? Are y'all kidding me? I've barely started. *sigh*

I get all my gifts through out the year when I see bargains, I finished about 2 weeks ago, except I have to get my boyfriends parents their hamper which is fresh cheese/olives/wine so I can't get it until the 23rd.

I am still waiting on a gift to arrive so I can send it out. I paid for the damn thing 12/06. Today I get an e-mail stating...I only wanted to confirm you that your order has been sent to our warehouse. At soon it arrives, we will mail it out to the address that you provided us....

WTF??? My order was paid for on the 6th of December and it has still not been sent out. 13 days!!!! With more time before the order is even sent out. Now my sweetie won't be getting one of his Christmas gifts until..who knows when. :irked: Mind you this is a company not an individual seller on E-bay. This is no way to do business.

Not only did this happen, but when I went today to mail out my package, it turns out that because my package is being delivered to another country, it will take 3 to 6 days. It may not even make it in time for Christmas. My own fault. i should have went last week and mailed the package. I just thought I could use Priority mail. Oh well...the most important past is that the package will get there.

Now I only need to get a few things for my niece and nephew. :)

Hope your gift arrives to you soon TC, sorry that this happened.

As an individual who DOES sell on ebay, I state that I usually only ship a couple of times a week (this is because I live approx. 7 miles from the post office)but business was great this past couple of weeks so I shipped 8 times in the past week and a half! It's the holidays and do want to get things out to people asap.
