Who hasn't finished Xmas shopping??
 
Less than a week to go....have you bought all your gifts? This weekend was a mad house in Lewisville-every parking lot was filled. Who still has to brave the last minute shopping? Not me!!(well, cause I am poor and cant afford gifts this year)

lifesaver 12-20-2004 10:29 PM

havent even started yet.

Had no time and until today, had no money. Guess what I am doing tomorrow night and all day wednesday?

chopper816 12-20-2004 10:40 PM

Im done now. i really enjoyed buying presents this year, especially for a special someone. im impressed that im finished so early

Peaches-n-Cream 12-20-2004 11:47 PM

I only bought things for my boyfriend. I have no idea what to give my sisters and mother. :eek:

GRITS 12-21-2004 12:23 AM

OMG!! I have soo much more to do but i work from 1-8 Monday- Wednesday and 1-6 on thursday. All shopping is going to have to get done aft er I get off on Thursday!

AChiOAlumna 12-21-2004 01:35 AM

I'm done with everyone EXCEPT my husband!! Poor guy! I'm waiting for a special order to come in...hopefully in the next day or two it'll be here....otherwise I'm going to be SOL and have to come up with a "plan B!"

bluefish81 12-21-2004 01:46 AM

I'm not done yet. I need to buy my sister's gift and two of my nephews. I'm waiting til I get paid on Thursday.

PM_Mama00 12-21-2004 01:51 AM

I'll be heading out to 12 Oaks Mall tomorrow to START my shopping. I never wait till this late but I had a lack of cash flow.

PhoenixAzul 12-21-2004 01:52 AM

my boyfriend hasn't :rolleyes:

Munchkin03 12-21-2004 06:59 AM

I haven't started...but I have had what we in the business like to call "extenuating circumstances."

It'll get done, because I already know exactly what I'm getting everyone.

KSigkid 12-21-2004 09:41 AM

I still have a couple of things left to buy, but I'd say I'm 80-90% done. I braved the cold yesterday and was out on Newbury St. and in the Copley/Prudential malls for about 3 hours, so I got a lot done at that point.

midwesterngirl 12-21-2004 09:53 AM

I have one more gift card to buy and then I am finished.
I ordered a few items from circuit city that I am still waiting on.I know I still have four days yet but I'm starting to get a little nervous that they haven't arrived.

DolphinChicaDDD 12-21-2004 12:56 PM

I was planning to be done yesterday...and then I went and got strep throat. I have no idea when I'll be done now. Everyone will get IOUs sent downstairs via paper air plane, whilst I wither away in my bed, because I can't eat solids.

Or I could email them. I do have this fabulous wireless internet in my room. What did I do the days before I could lay in bed, with satilite TV, and type on the internet?

jharb 12-21-2004 12:59 PM

I haven't yet...I suck at the game of Xmas shopping! :(

Pink_Bug 12-21-2004 01:03 PM

Not done yet but it's not my fault!!!
I am having to depend on Mr. Pink_Bug to pick up a few things and he is famous for waiting until the absolute last minute to get things done...it drives me CRAZY!

epsilon99 12-21-2004 01:11 PM

I did it all on Saturday - It was nice to tackle the whole thing in one day.

PoohsHoneyBee 12-21-2004 01:23 PM

I'm almost done. I need my mom and a really good friend of mine. One thing I keep on doing, is a buy what I think is a good gift, I change my mind and return it. I've already returned about $250 worth of stuff, because I just can't make up my mind!

lifesaver 12-21-2004 07:38 PM

Still havent started.....

AOPIHottie 12-22-2004 02:04 PM

Lifesaver, you are going to be at walmart at 3 am on xmas morning shopping and all your gifts will be wrapped in the festive white plastic bags with the walmart logo right??

I had to go to walmart to get a secret santa gift, it took me 30 freaking minutes just to check out. I was even in the 20 items or less line!! And I yelled at a lady. Last minute shoppers suck(of course, that includes me, cause I am one too.) They are so bitchy:rolleyes: (refering to myself)

dzfan 12-23-2004 01:06 PM

still have a few more things to pick up today-DVD set for my dad and a sweater for my cousin and then I'm done! Actually had things put aside for me at sears with their in store pick up-so I'm going to zip in and zip out-makes it a ton easier.

AChiOAlumna 12-23-2004 01:36 PM

Okay....I've officially learned NOT to wait until the last minute to shope for my husband!!! I went out yesterday and scoured the stores...couldn't find ANYTHING that I intended to get him!

I ended up ordering stuff online and he's going to get "certificates" showing that things are "in the mail." I'm so upset about this...I guess it'll extend his Xmas though as he keeps getting gifts through next week as they show up on the doorstep!

Peaches-n-Cream 12-23-2004 01:52 PM

I still have to buy some things. ARRGGGGHHH!

I have no clue what to buy for some people. :(

ADPi~Ally 12-23-2004 02:40 PM

just started Xmas shopping yesterday with my mom :)
we r going today after work. We found if you go at night like from 8pm-12, it's a lot less crowded :D

carnation 12-23-2004 02:56 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! I am THROUGH the day before Christmas Eve! :D I can now, knock on wood, sit back and enjoy the holidays after watching out for great deals and trolling eBay for months!:D

Jill1228 12-23-2004 03:48 PM

Done! I shipped out the long distance gifts 2.5 weeks ago
Now Mr. 1228 is a different story

Now I suck at Christmas cards :o

Cream, I told you I'd take an iPod or another cruise to the carribiean... ;)

As for my shopping; soy hecho. Did it last night/today and managed to get most all of it done in a few hours. Only had 6 people to shop for, so it was cool and easier than I thought. Spent about $300 tho. My budget was $200. Oh well.

AOPIHottie 12-24-2004 03:36 PM

I'm impressed lifesaver, I figured you would be shopping at at the crack of dawn tomorrow!! Good job to those who are done!! (that does not include me!!)

AWJDZ 12-24-2004 05:44 PM

I finished my shopping AND daddy's last week, wrapped and everything. Today was suppose to be a relaxing day, left this morning to get a cup of coffee and look around and what used to be the hometown i dreaded coming back to....then mom sends me on 50 million errands, including the hellish wal-mart. At this rate, the 4 bottles of wine I picked up for her will be finished in no time!

Hope everyone has a MERRY MERRY Christmas!
