Early Holiday Shopping/Planning?

  • A lot of my friends are already planning on what they're going to do for Halloween. What they're going to wear, bake, decorations, etc. A few are even thinking about Christmas and are buying a couple presents every month.

    So is anyone here already making plans for the holidays?
  • I've started to listen to what people want so I can buy and stash gifts ahead of time but I tend to be a procrastinator!
  • Ugh, I'm not even thinking of the holidays yet! Still trying to get through the summer months and all the nieces and nephews birthdays.
  • re:
    I was in a store the other day and they were putting out Halloween decorations. I guess that's normal though now.

    I don't shop early, but if I see something that would be a good gift I buy it right then no matter the month, cause sure enough it's gone when I really want it.
  • I am planning to have my granddaughters picture took for her birthday in Sept, a halloween picture then a family christmas picture. Then plan on getting giftcards for the two older grands and an actual gift to open, the grandbaby is easy and who knows what for the kids, all in Sept so that I will be done with Christmas shopping early! that is far as my planning/thoughts are.
  • I have a dress I got to wear for Halloween if I can fit into it. If not this Halloween, then next year. Otherwise, no other holiday plans.
  • We talked about our family costumes, but no progress with a 2.5 & 5 year old. I am almost done with christmas presents for them
