So how is your giftmas shopping going?
I have one person taken care of out of five I'll be giving to. I know what one of the others will be getting. I figure for a month away that's not a bad start.

1. I've started, but I'm far from finished.......
I've got a lot of catalogs with dog-eared pages to look through...

One of these days the spirit will strike...and I'll have at it!

:hi:

2. I should try to do most of my shopping out of stores.
If I look now, maybe I can take care of my mother, father and sister online. If I pick out something nice for flvegan while he's that only leaves leftykid and I'll be getting his things at the store where I work.

3. Almost done.
I just need to get one more thing for my mom. She's going to be 65 on Dec. 15 and I want to get her something special and I can't decide what to get.

4. Everytime we go, we find more stuff for ourselves.
We have only bought for two people and haven't printed any of the pictures we're giving people either. All these deals are dangerous.

5. I did that last night.
My sister took me with her when she went shopping because it was late. We found the things she needed for her snowboarding trip today, and I got my mother's gift (some retro concert t shirts she'll love) and a small thing for myself.

6. We found 800 (!) thread count sheet separates at Target today for 20 bucks...

And a down alternative bed at Garden Ridge for 30. My bed is inviting now.

7. I actually got a lot done online this weekend!
I avoided the mall, and abided by Buy Nothing Day, but managed to order some gifts today. I will continue on Monday (at the mall, unfortunately, but running out of options....) I'm maybe half-way done.

8. Not.
No one gets gifts this year but my youngest nephew. Everyone else gets cards.

9. Pretty much had to do that last year.
I managed a few token gifts for immediate family, but only barely.

:(

11. Exactly Xmas is for the kids
Family did the pull a name out of a hat route and I don't even want to spend the 10 dollars for that. I plan on buying this radio flyer wagon for my nephew since it's his first xmas.

10. Well, I went out and got a dress shirt for my sister and a Joe Montana retro jersey for Dad
I want to get another small thing for my sister, but other than that all I have left to do is get LeftyKid's toys (I already bought him some clothes) and pick out something nice for flvegan.

12. It's done.
All I have left to do is some baking for those who will get food gifts.
