Personally, I am out on Christmas Eve picking up food and whatever catches my eye. However I have "checklists" that I try to go by, like having parents done by..well right now, and neices & nephews by November 1st. Does anyone else work by a checklist as well?

Honestly, I TRY to be "done" by the end of October. Not always the case, but it's a goal.

 

Even if I'm done by then, I'll still buy something that catches my eye along the way, or on BF.

 

Last year, I was at Walgreens at midnight on Christmas Eve buying gift cards and gas cards and other stocking stuffers.

I like to be done by the first week of December, but it seems like there are always those odds & ends that have to be picked up at the last minute. Plus, my older dd's birthday is December 27th.

I hope to have it all by Christmas Eve. Last year I actually ordered something from Amazon on the 23rd and got it the 24th. :P I couldn't for the life of me figure out what to get my grandparents and ended up getting them a photo printer.

The weekend of BF Sometimes they run good sales on Saturday also so I may hit a few of those but I'm usually done that weekend. I shop all year for Christmas it's the only way I could afford it.

I "try" to start in June or so and be done by the first week of December. I use a list and when I'm done with the specific items for everyone if I find something else it's a bonus, also that way I can take my time..:D

My goal is always BF and this year, dog gone it.......I'm going to do it. I will spend the entire month of December enjoying the holidays by going to shows, baking and do other fun stuff w/the family. (best I get going now, LOL)

Extended family I want to be done with by Nov. 1st. I have to ship most of it so I also want to beat the crowds at the post office!

 

My boys I tend to pick things up right up until Christmas Eve.

I normaly have class until the week before Christmas so I consider myself lucky if everything is done my Christmas Eve. This year we have class until the Friday before Christmas so I"m going to need to use some unique time managment skills to get everything done.
