    I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet, I don't know what I'm going to get my hubby and a few other people, and I'm not sure when I'll have time to shop anyway. Anyone else in the same boat as me??

    All we have left is some play-doh type toy for our nephew and printing up some wedding photos, putting them in frames, and wrapping them! SO CLOSE! =]

    @hotchild: 30-35 different people?! Ohwow. I'd be toast if I had that many to shop for. I think I have about 10 on our list.

    @hcritton: It's such a pain.  I have a huge family, and then six friends to buy for.  I just get little gifts for them (<$10) but getting all the presents together adds up.  We kept to a VERY strict budget this year though and I'm happy for that.  We didn't charge a single thing!

    We had about 20 people to buy for, and we only have a couple left!  I think the hardest one is my sister, because her birthday is the 31 so I always have to buy her two separate presents.

    Um, I have two things on ORDER and one I can pick up at work for Mr. KM. He was the easiest one.

    Other than that, no one will tell me what they want. They're all getting giftcards if they don't tell me by Saturday. Giftcards to somewhere completely random. Like my brother getting a giftcard to Red Lobster.

    I'm almost totally done. Actually, I'm done with my share but we still need to find knick-knack side gifts for Fi's dad, bro, and we need to think up something for his sister and her bf! His bro, and dad, he has covered (I hope he'll think of something) but for his sister is another story.

    I can't wait for 2010!

    I have about four people left out of around 20. But, the problem is I had only 4 left after Black friday and have been to lazy to go pick up there gift cards. lol. And, one I had to cancel the order because it wouldn't ship before Christmas so I have to go find something else now :(. Sigh--stupid target, they had a month and couldn't ship it before christmas seriously?

    You need to have a poll option for "just started, lots to go" cause that's where I'm at.

    I need to buy BF something else [I can't just give him a shirt, and 4 years is WAAAY to early to start in on the "(I think)you need ___ so I got it for you as a gift" phase of things], I'm not sure what.

    I've done the family shopping, except for one cousin whose size I don't know.  Why they leave me to do the family shopping, I don't know.

    I'd love to know what they did before I came along or was old enough to help, except I am the oldest...  so I guess they did nothing.  

    Regardless, the plan is to get it all done before I go to visit.  There is no way I am dealing with those crowds and that traffic.  No way!

    I still need to buy for my mom, but other than that- everyone is done! Including his family. It's a strange feeling to be done this "early".

    I've done zero shopping and it's finally started to hit me that craaapppp Christmas is super close! Luckily FI and I have decided to gift ourselves a new TV for the bedroom so no shopping needed for him!

    Thankfully we're almost done - just finishing up a few last people and need to print off some wedding pictures for frames. Hoping to finish it all this weekend and maybe next week. With Christmas parties and other commitments, it's getting hard to find the time!
