Have you started your Christmas shopping yet, and if so, what have you bought?

No. Not at all.

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

Not only have we started, we are almost done. We've bought way too many things to list. My wife and I still have to buy for each other and then we have to get something for my dad and for my nephew. Other than that, we are done. (We'll probably get a few more things for our daughters but it won't be anything big).

I have bought books for my niece, an art stenciling set for my goddaughter and a small ceramic bluejay for my aunt. Oh well, it's a start.

Cindy, 40
VA USA

Nope. I'm sure my parents have, though.

Jeremy, 15
Highlands Ranch, CO USA

Not yet.

Ryan, 29
Morton, IL USA

I have it pretty much done.

Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA USA

I do VERY little Christmas shopping. What little I do I have done already.

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

Nope, not yet. I have a car transmission to worry about first...

Ashley, 20
Jacksonville, FL USA

No, not yet. We pull names rather than buying for everyone in the extended families (6 on my side, 6 on his side, assorted spouses, nieces, and nephews). That's done in November along with the wish lists to shop from (really cuts down on gift returns). Once I know who I'm buying for and what they are interested in, I start Christmas shopping.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

Not yet. I have a tradition with my dad to go out Christmas shopping on Christmas eve.

Em, 16
Harrisburg, PA USA

No, I never start Christmas shopping this early.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

Grief no. It's only October! I went into the city centre yesterday and was most put out to discover that one shopping arcade had already put its Christmas decorations on display.

Aly, 17

Oh, Puhleeeeaze...I do not think about shopping after Thanksgiving...the way it should be.

Augustus, 31
Rome

I've bought presents for all five of my grandkids.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

Yup! I've bought some clothes at stores that were having sales. I love sales!!

Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA

No way. Way too early!

Talia, 25
Redding, CT USA

I'm not sure if I have any Christmas shopping this year. If I do it involves copies of some of my photo work so that it's more of a personal gift. All that requires is selecting the shot, burning it to CD to drop off and picking it up in two days.

Alias Irrelevante

Ha, my Christmas shopping is basically done; I have two or three things left to get, and I've just been waiting on those till it's closer to Christmas. But I'm not telling what I've gotten, because then people might find out!

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

I've gotten a few things so far...lets see...for my son: a Nintendo Gamecube and a few games to go along with it, a "Queasey-Bake Oven" and a "Queasey-Bake Blender", a "stretch and scream" ugly looking doll-type thing, a couple computer games, Monsters, Inc. movie, couple books,

No Yule shopping yet. No money.
