¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 11-29-2004, 12:07 AM

Whos started? Whos done? Who hasnt even made out the list yet (besides your own)? How many people do you have to get for?

:

I only have to buy for 9 people, 4 of which I wont see til after the holidays, but Im totally feeling the panic mode right now. I always wait til the last minute. Ive got about 4 weeks to buy crap, not to mention car insurance, Macys, gas, and a few concerts that Im going to (Merry Christmas to me

). I hate buying gifts throughout the year because Im not in the Christmas mood and I dont wanna spend $$$ that I dont have to right there lol. Not to mention Id probably lose half of them by the time its time to give them out. Ahh I need an extension.

We're going christmas shopping at the mall in phoenix december 10th!!!

i cant wait. my dad gives me $100 to buy presents but i spend a lot of it on myself, i always just get something for him and something for my brother anyway cause i dont care about anyone. i'll also probably shop for some more stuff for my secret santa though, i already ordered something but i'll have time to buy more at the mall.

Czas na Zywiec · 11-29-2004, 12:54 AM

No one, thank God. I don't really like buying presents for people, especially since I can't be any more broke. I also hate when people get me gifts, because then I feel all guity that they took the time and money to buy me something and I didn't give them anything in return. Maybe in a few years when I have some more cash available. Until then, it's all me. Sounds selfish, but hey, it's not that easy trying to pay for tuition, bills, food, etc.

I opted out of the sibling gift exchange

I haven't started it yet, I always go christmas shopping week before christmas, and I just have 3 peoples to buy gifts for and that just my family, and I love going christmas shopping.

Mr. Stefani · 11-29-2004, 03:23 AM

I get for: someone here, mom, sister, brother, step dad, this ho, and my little (step)sister. i also have to get my mom and her boyfriend a wedding gift since they're getting married 2 days after christmas.

can't complain, my paychecks seem to be getting bigger and bigger every week.

Dutabi84 · 11-29-2004, 03:31 AM

I'm getting a last second job, to get some last second income, so I can purchase some last second gifts.

If that doesn't work, I may have to empty my Partypoker account.

dawsongirl · 11-29-2004, 03:35 AM

I have 4. Mom, dad, cousin, and a friend. Actually, I should buy for a couple friends. I started yesterday. I hate starting before Thanksgiving because it's not the holiday season yet, despite what the stores say.

I actually love shopping. You give me a list, and I'll probably buy everything on it even if I have $0...which is what I have. Just add it to the growing pile of credit card debt. I'm at $6000 now.

and no one actually give me a list, okay?

MandieR1980 · 11-29-2004, 11:48 AM

I started but I'm not close to being done. So far I got:

Mom: a ring and bracelet she wanted from HSN and QVC, a box of Whitman's dark chocolates, and one of those new Febreeze Scentstories machines.

Dad: Sam Cooke and Brook Benton CDs

My brother: Star Wars Trilogy DVD set

cousin Gina: I'm renewing her John Mayer fanclub membership which I bought her last year.

I still have more to buy for them and I have to buy my aunt Suzy a present I picked her name at the secret santa thing we do every year.

My family has not started yet, they do not usually start until
about a week before christmas eve.

Crimson and Clover · 11-29-2004, 07:24 PM

my family isnt really doing Christmas this year. Since both me and my brothers wife are pregnant and we are due the same week, my family is just gonna have a babyshower for us.

Michael [hXc] · 11-29-2004, 07:45 PM
