Don't be coy - be honest if you have.
I haven't, but I've been to town today and there are cards and wrappings in one shop and another had all bare shelves because they're stocking them with Christmas stuff tonight.
Bonkers if you ask me.
Preppy bi: Oooooh really, just what I wanted, thanx

Thats downright silly. I enjoy the pressure of the last minute shopping! It's part of the holiday experience

I usually start in September cos I have 2 birthdays in October and November so I can buy my birthday and christmas presents at the same time or if I see something that I know someone will like I'll just get it there and then.

Yes I have bought a few things but only because they were on sale.
I used to work in retail and used to think it was bizzare to have christmas stuff on the shelves at this time of year, then a sweet old lady told me one day that she had a few grandchildren and she appreciated being able to buy somthing every week then by christmas she would have enough gifts to give them all a little something.
After all, if people didn't buy the stuff the shops wouldn't sell it!

Yes, but barely. I used to think it was totally insane too, but the last couple of years my husband and I have been picking up gifts as we see them (especially things on sale or clearance). I think this year the earliest I picked up anything was June. It's nice on both the wallet and the stress level come Christmas to have a portion of the gifts already purchased. I probably won't be completely finished until just a few days or a week before Christmas.
