I so staying home this weekend you could not drag me out unless there is big and I mean big money involved, with the exception of getting my hair done tomorrow, I am so staying in and try and get somethings done.

How do you last minute shoppers do it? I can stand waiting in line to pay for one or two things drives me nuts.

My friend and I leave at 9am do some shopping eat dinner and do more shooping and get home about 11pm or 12am and you get great deals

MomToMany replied: We just deal with it. We're doing ALL of our shopping next Wednesday & Thursday. Talk about last minute!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I certainly dont' mind if the kids aren't with me. I hate dragging them around with me. I get nothing accomplished.

Its not even that busy here compared to what it will be like when the schools break up for Xmas next week and there are mothers and chldren everywhere! xx

Heather replied: I hate crowded stores. I hate waiting in line. UGH! I wanted to do all my Christmas shopping on line this year but DH actually got me out in the stores. UGH. Good luck to all of you who still have shopping to do. I do adn I am not looking forward to it :*(

mummy2girls replied: That is one bog reason why i start to shop in october...LOL. I hate crowds but expecially around christmas time...INSANE!

coasterqueen replied: I guess I'm different. It's what YOU make Christmas shopping as to whether it's a good experience or not. I LOVE being a part of all the hustle and bustle...it's part of Christmas. If you just try to take your time, go with the flow, just lose yourself in it it's not so bad.

I envy all of you who CAN go shopping for Christmas. Online shopping takes all the Christmas spirit out of it, believe me.

BUT I was very very bad tonight. I've been stuck in this house for 2 days with Kylie being sick so I told Dh I wanted to go out and do some actual shopping, even if it was just for an hour or two. He actually thought it would do me good even though I'm not supposed to go anywhere. It was SOOOOOO much fun, even only going for two hours. I didn't get much accomplished but it put me in the Christmas spirit for sure. Too bad Dh has to do the rest of it, though.

MommyToAshley replied: I LOVE Christmas shopping as well. I am normally one of those last minute shoppers, but I am proud of myself for shopping early this year. However, it just didn't seem as exciting without all the hustle and bustle and the thrill when you find the perfect gift minutes before the store closes on Christmas Eve.
