Because I have. I can't believe it either. It seems too early but I HATE the Christmas crowds and try to get anything store related out of the way before Thanksgiving. I can't stand fighting through the crowds for something that I easily could have gotten a month ago without any trouble. Plus we have tourists here (AHHHH!)
Still, this is crazy. I mean I haven't even bought Eid gifts but I've started on Christmas. I even started planning what I'm going to get for people. All in hopes of avoiding crowds and getting things shipped home before the shipping prices skyrocket or it takes twice as long to send a package because of the heavy mail traffic.
Then again its probably smart to spread out the buying. Then you don't end up with one massive credit card bill in December. Budget Smart!
Crazy. Bah Humbug.

My mom starts actively gathering gifts around September. Possibly August, I'm never sure, lol. :P
ReplyDeleteIt's a good idea though - I hate the holiday rush, too. ^.^
My mom buys stuff for next year in January! lol
ReplyDeletei actually go after the holidays when stores are practically giving stuff away to make way for the next season.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I buy stuff all through the year... I think I got my mom's gift back in June or something, and I got my brother's a couple of months ago. : ) Nope, you aren't weird at all. I think more people "early Christmas shop" than we realize. After all, who really wants to drop large amounts of dinero all at once? Buy gradually, and there's no wicked high credit card bill in January. : D
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! That was my plan. Wicked high credit card bills scare me O_O.
ReplyDeleteAnd crowded stores, online shopping rules!
