abentley Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 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?

kmbrly Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrn8 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 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. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what to get my grandparents and ended up getting them a photo printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssf Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 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..

jskarp Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 My goal is always BF and this year, dog gone it.......I'm going to do it.

Turtle Mommy Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 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.

Kaarak Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 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.
