How early do you start Christmas/Hanukkah shopping?
I've noticed that some stores are already getting ready to put their Christmas displays up and I am sure some already have. When I worked at Hallmark when I was 15-17 I remember putting out all of the ornaments in July and actually having people waiting in line outside of the store to see them. I also worked at Michael's in my late teens/early 20's and all of the Christmas merchandise would start coming in before Easter was even over.
Personally I always wait until December to start my shopping, maybe late November, but never before Thanksgiving. Halloween and Thanksgiving are my two favorite holidays and I feel like they always get rushed due to Christmas coming up, so I stand strong and refuse to start my holiday shopping until I've gave my pumpkins and turkeys the respect they deserve.
So how about you? Have you started shopping yet? Do you like to wait until December like I do? Are you a last minute shopper out on Christmas Eve?

Re: How early do you start Christmas/Hanukkah shopping?
it depends on the year and what type of gifts, this year I'm making his grandma a quilt so that is already in progress...I'm also hoping to finish a quilt top that my great aunt made for my mom so again it will need to be started really early. I'm also thinking some things from Alaska may be Christmas gifts, but for the most part I wait until November/December. My mom, my friend, and her mom(who used to be my baby-sitter) go once a year usually in November as well

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermThis is what I typically do every year, but with a bulk of it on Black Friday. This year I am due a few days before Christmas. I am thinking that we will need to do more of if we see something that is perfect for someone pick it up type of shopping!
I'm with Christie (although I voted a few months before); if I see something anytime of year that is a good gift; I'll either buy it then or write it down...especially since my family is so picky/hard to shop for!
Honestly any BF shopping I do, is usually for myself!!

This. Though through most of my 20s I did most of my shopping the week before Christmas because I usually had class and finals up until then or I lived out of down and it was easier to just wait till I got to Buffalo to do my shopping so that I didn't have to limit myself to what would fit in my suitcase.

This. But if I am travelling overseas or a unique place, I try to pick up gifts then. I go over my list after Thanksgiving and then actively work on remaining gifts needed.
