Who's started their Christmas shopping???

[Sweet One]

NOT ME!!!!! I have so little money that i'm dreading the entire process....man, i need a job!!! I'm just curious if everyone is procrastinating like me!!! :roll:

[sarah**]

Well I don't need to do any Christmas shopping (Hannukah all the way!) but I did go the mall last weekend and it was very enjoyable! I LOVE shopping at this time of the year, the stores are all so nicely decorated and I love the Christmas songs playing in the stores. :wink:

[';']

yeah i like that too....i went to the mall when i was gone for that week to start shopping and the day after thanksgiving was crazy....almost all the good stuff was gone :shock:
i still need to buy my mom and dad gifts
i have a brother and two sisters, and i only bought a gift for one sister
so yeah i still need to do some more shopping...ah i dont have money either....but i'm suppose to get some check back from this rebate i sent in for this computer i have....and money coming back from my school, so that should be enough to buy everyone something nice.....
ooh and i'll have some money left over....i love going shopping for other ppl then getting a few things for myself 8)

[Sweet One]

I have to buy gifts for soo many people! It's tough work....lol....the Santa Claus at my mall scares me! :roll: :shock:

[';']

yeah i use to be afraid of santa too.....i mentioned it in another thread...i think it was the christmas one....ah i dont know. :roll:

[';']

you know what i just noticed sarah...

guy's part of the avatar is like the biggest because of his hair...lmao

I love it because it's a rare pic where he is actually smiling :D

[';']

hehe yeah....that smile is rare as it is too

[busybeeburns]

Um... I did mine 3 weeks ago *ducks*

[';']

i'm not complaining i need to get it done....me being so lazy i'll probably never finish....i think i'm just gonna buy gifts for my family...this year

[Tracy]

I'm nearly done! 8) I am lucky though because me and my 2 sisters and my mam have decided we are just going to have a day out in Newcastle, go for a meal and spend £60 on ourselves (which would be £20 x 3 what we would spend on each other but instead we get to spend it on ourselves on whatever we want and we get a day out too! Probably end up at the pub at the end of it as well.

So I just have to buy for 2 grandas (what do you buy people who have already got everything they want!), my step dad (easy - just buy him Newcastle Brown Ale and a bar of Galaxy chocolate and he is happy) and that's it!!

..even though christmas displays are not doubt in shops now :laugh3:

[Fixed]

Bah! Humbug!

[mc_squared]

Gordon Brown has just announced that Christmas is cancelled this year owing to the "recession crunch"!!:rolleyes:

[Black Rose]

I started my christmas shopping on the 26th December 2007 :)

...

What, nothing wrong with buying cheap christmas cards/wrapping paper and decos when shops are selling them dirt-cheap to get rid of stock :P

[MrLick]

I don't buy presents, people just get me things.

[Fixed]

Manchester turned their Christmas lights on yesterday. Now, call me a pedantic party pooper if you want, but that is a total waste of electricity/money considering it's still f**king October.

[Petit Prince]

I totally agree! They shouldn't be on till December in my opinion.

[Cobalt]

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IN OCTOBER??!!

SCANDALOUS. :veryangry2:

Andover today was pretty bad for Christmas shopping and stuff, but it's bad this week, come a couple weeks time after halloween and Guy Fawkes Night, all the space in shops will be turned over to christmas :(

[mc_squared]

I totally agree! They shouldn't be on till December in my opinion.

Nothing to do with Christmas should be permitted in any shape or form before 1st December.;)

[Black Rose]

It's a case of towns battling it out to get the best "celebrity" to turn their lights on.

There is going to be something missing this year, as the family whose house was normally the brightest in terms of outside lights have moved away.

Or did they have to sell it because they couldn't afford to pay their electricity bill??:rolleyes:

[Black Rose]

No, he retired and they moved away down to the Devon/Cornwall area

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

who had bumped a 2002 thread? :stunned:

[mc_squared]

who had bumped a 2002 thread? :stunned:


Somebody who's obviously bored.:rolleyes:

[strawberryfields]

It's not even Halloween yet... :thinking:

But then again, I've already made my Christmas wishlist. :lol:

[Pseudonym]

I'm giving everyone pieces of paper saying:

"A donation has been made in your name to your local school's arts programs."

Everyone has to pretend they're happy with it, and everyone actually believes it!!:laugh3:

:dozey:


Of course:rolleyes:

Which was the episode where someone (Joey I think) was eating something, but he didn't want Chandler to know he was eating it, so Chandler said "Ill give you 10 dollars to whistle right now"

Any idea?

[Black Rose]

I'm being lazy this year and giving out gift cards for places I know people shop at.

Better than a pointless present the person doesn't really have a use for.

[Carlaatje]

i haven't bought anything but I alredy saw a christmas window about 2 weeks ago, and will start making them myself soon

[busybeeburns]

Christmas is officially banned in our house. Unless our hamster buys me a really nice pressie. All take and no give :dozey:

[Carlaatje]

but why?!
christmas is fun!

[mc_squared]

but why?!
christmas is fun!

Not in England it isn't. It's been completely ruined by the media and commercialisation.:(

[Chavi]

It's too freaking early for that ! Hugs are the only presents I'm giving out this year :smug:
















because i'm broke and consumption has become an over rated thing !

[mc_squared]

Great idea. Everyone should do it.:D


consumption has become an over rated thing !

It sure has. People have become obsessed with it.;)

[Chavi]

we went to get some food the other day and my sister couldnt help but go for Christmas presents, grrrrr, I was like 'Stop it for Christ's sake! you're not gonna eat those..' :dozey:

And my other sisters want me to spoil their kids with toys and everything.. :disappointed:

[Black Rose]

Now Halloween is over with, the shops will be turning their attentions to christmas :(

[Carlaatje]

we've got sinterklaas first!
