even started shopping yet.

I have not bought one thing

every year i tell myself i wont wait until the last minute but i am just such a procrastinator, even with my own wedding i put things off.

So i guess i will be running around this weekend buying gifts for everyone!!!!

Im scared of the crowds

I know what you mean. My gift-buying has been highly erratic. I'm Jewish (but was in the midst of law school finals during Chanukkah) and FH is not, so my gift-buyiing/giving has trickled along since the beginning of Dec and is still going. I ordered one of FH's gifts online, and gave it to him during Chanukkah. I did my 'Xmas shopping' (more of FH's gifts + 'speed gifts' for xmas with his family -- see my other post) yesterday. I had also bought a few things for FH last weekend, but gave them to him already.

I did my parent's gift by phone, and still only have half of my grandparents gift ready....

Good luck at the malls, I found the inside of the malls themselves werent too bad when I went yesterday afternoon, but the parking was horrendous

I just need to run into Best Buy and pick up two things and I am done!!!! However I need to get cards which is the worst part.

Oh and FH isn't finished which means on Monday I will be running around like crazy because he will then remember all the things I told him he should have been buying for the past month.

oohhh you girls are bad. I've been done. But then again, I got to the outlets the first week of November and get soo much done. I have a HUGE family with tons of little kids, so that always works best for me.

Except last night, I felt like i needed more for Fh, so I ran to Kohls and got some last minute things. But EVERTHING is wrapped and under the tree.

I know, I know, I sound like such a good two shoes!

GOOD LUCK GIRLS!!

I never go shopping on time. I just hate X-mas shopping. This year I swore it off though. FH and I didnt put up one decoration or tree. Its so depressing but we cant spend any money before the wedding. Next year we'll go all out to make up for it!

LOL I AM real bad i only bought for FH which i did over the phone bc i had to order from a store in virginia since it was sold out everywhere, and then my dad i bought last week.

i still have to buy for mom, FMIL, FFIL, FBIL and fh's aunt and uncle that we celebrate x-mas eve with and also my grandmother.

I have to drink to long island tonight to my RH so while im there i might just go to the mall and get it out of the way or some of it, but mine and fh's routine on saturdays is to get out early go shopping or whatever errands we have so if im tired im leaving it all for saturday lol
