have already started your Christmas shopping?
I must admit I have started already, mostly because of all the sales at TRU and a gift card that I had to use their but mainly because I am a big kid and am already so excited about Christmas this year! My youngest will be old enough this year to know more of what is going on and I am just so excited about that! I know the girls are going to have a blast this year with all the festivities!

I started a month ago!!!I have 4 girls and i have to prepare early. I also have birthdays the next 3 months. My 2 year old turns 3 sunday, next my 6 year old turns in nov., and my 8 year old turns in dec. So i have to plan 3 months ahead of time to count birthdays and christmas. So i started in Sept. I have the MLP twinkle twirl (7.48), MLP's for my 4 year old, LPS stashed for my 8 year old, Care bears stashed for my soon to be 3 year old, and i am working on my 6 year old. But I figured by the time i get through the birthdays my christmas stash will be built up before it actually comes. Thats what i get for having 4 girls!!!To expensive!!!!!

i started already. it's easier to spread it out a bit, but on the bad side you just keep buying because they keep coming out with new stuff. and you are right girls are expensive. i can hardly wait until she is into clothes and stuff. better start saving!

LOL, I'm excited about Christmas already too- but I promised myself I won't listen to Christmas music until the day AFTER Thanksgiving! I haven't started my shopping yet, but I've started mulling over gift ideas for my friends and family.

well we all (girlfriend self and daughter), all agreed to wait till AFTER Christmas that is when the REAL sales go on. My daughter wants the PSP so it has already gone down $50 so hopefully by the end of Dec it will be only $100 ;D girlfriend want cloths so end of season is then too, I want Victoria Secrets their sale is the last week of Dec first week of Jan so If we all go AFTER Christmas we can get SOOOOOOO much more stuff for the same price.

Eh, I'm lazy, my dad does all my shopping for me. It's just hard to get anything for him since I can't drive and my mom refuses too. Sometimes she orders him clothes from catalogues, or bugs me to buy something online (she doesn't know how). ^^;

We started about a month ago. It's easier on the wallet to spread it out rather than spend one giant lump sum right before Christmas. I LOVE the Christmas season though, but the malls are trecherous! It's harder to get my 9 year old son stuff earlier in the year because he changes what he likes often (and then starts wanting different stuff from all the new Christmas commercials). *Sigh* But, I'm so glad that we started LPS this year. It's been hard enough getting some of the older ones and it will be a lot easier to purchase them as they come out rather than backtracking. I went to some MLP forums lately and man, I don't know if I'll be able to start collecting the new ones. We'll see. LPS for now=)

I would have started shopping today but what I was gonna get was for my boyfriend and then he showed up in Walmart and I couldn't buy it. Oh well. I still kind of scoped it out to see if they still had it and they don't. Oh well. I have another idea and then I'll be done with his shopping. Then I'll just have to worry about everybody else, lol.

i can't wait till dec that's when i do my big shopping, i love going around & seeing everyone rush. my uncle hates shopping so i tease him about it. my fave shot to go is zellers & the bid $ store dollaramma, everything is a buck & they get some aweson stuff. i got a star wars epi 1 hat worth 15-20 bucks for 1.

I wait to shop in stores until the day after Thanksgiving when the sales are going on. But I do shop all year long at thrift shops and garage sales, it may seem weird but everyone in my family collects so getting second hand stuff is thrilling and not weird in my family.
