I always want to try starting early, but financially that just never works out. Life of a college kid. **Sigh** Somtimes, though, I love not having that much money to spend on Christmas gifts because then I have to get creative. I love that because then the gifts are sentimental and they mean more.
I havent started yet, and usually my procrastination gets the best of me and I end up shopping the week before or days before Xmas. It doesnt help that our daughters birthday is a week before Xmas either.
