Since I'm the only one on, I guess I'll start.....
Just thought I would ask when everyone starts their Christmas shopping? I have started checking the ads in the Sunday paper, but haven't bought anything yet. Usually we just buy for my Mom, his Step-Mom and the three of us. We use to have to buy for over 20 some people, but we put a stop to that real quick...nobody wanted to draw names...so we just told them, don't buy for us because we are not buying for you!!! AND What kind of stores do you usually go to? Small/large retail....malls...specialty? I may go to Lafayette one or two times walk through the mall before it get too crowed, but mostly buy at our town's Wal Mart and on-line. People get so crazy and rude at Christmas and my computer is never mean to me.....LOL AND Do you go to the sales the day after Thanksgiving? I went one time the day after Thanksgiving with my best friend, her daughter and her sister. We were in Lafayette with all our ads by 5:00 AM. It was so much fun, but I think it was just because we were all together and enjoying each other. Would love to do that again. AND How about internet shopping? Do much there? I love to do most of the shopping on the Internet. Even from places like Target, Kohl's and others. I've never had any problems and even when I ordered on Dec. 17, I still had my orders in time for Christmas...my opinion is "it's the only way to shop."

I start as soon as I get my Christmas bonus from work. I don't have any money for gifts till then. They normally give them out after Thanksgiving. What kind of stores do you usually go to? Small/large retail....malls...specialty? Wally world and places like TJMaxx and Marshalls. They alwas have good sales and interesting odd and end gifts. Do you go to the sales the day after Thanksgiving Oh HELL NO!!!!!! That's toooo much crazyness for me. I can't be in crowded places anyways and all these crazy ladies running around freaks me out. I would probably have a panic attack and pass out on the floor...LOL How about internet shopping? Do much there? I did a little of hubby's shopping online last year but I'm not sure about this year. I don't like paying shipping on things I can drive 10 min. down the rd. for.

I like to start early, but usually I don't get started until after Thanksgiving. What kind of stores do you usually go to? Small/large retail....malls...specialty? I like to shop at Penney's, Kohl's, Target, and Wal-mart (it's closer to me than the other stores). Do you go to the sales the day after Thanksgiving? I went once to Wal-mart with my daughter and daughter-in-law. People were so rude and we had gotten up so early that I've never gone back for the early morning stuff. I live too far from a large city so to go takes all day and I don't like crowds or waiting in line. How about internet shopping? Do much there? I love shopping on the internet. Last year I ordered stuff from Kohl's and Penney's. I figure that the shipping is cheaper than me driving 100 miles, eating out, and spending all day shopping.

I put a little money back every week in the bank Christmas Club. They sent me my Christmas Check today. Now I'm ready, but as usual when I get money, I don't want to spend it, except on me and my son!!!

Linda, you are going to have to start doing what I do. That's start a Christmas Club account at your bank. Most accept $5, $10, $15, $20, and more a week. Rick and I put in $20 each a week, so you figure how much we have for Christmas. We do put some toward house insurance....it always comes due around then too. Then they just mail you the check with interest for Christmas. I just rec'd mine yesterday. If I didn't do this, there would be no money for Christmas here either. Give it a try....You can start one right now or whenever.
