So have people started, mid-way or finished their Christmas shopping?

I've managed to do everyone in the last week.

I'm the ultimate Xmas shopping hater.

I have a wonderful daughter who is the ultimate (any) shopping lover.

It seems to work out really well. All my shopping comleted a couple of weeks ago, so I'm told.

Christmas week groceries are already on order - courtesy of Sainsbury's home deliveries. Most other shopping has been done via the net too ... not a fan of crowds.

Lemme see.

Six cards sent.

Money stuffed into various envelopes.

£25.00 given to Sylvie & Crane to pay for food and drink at their gaff on Christmas Day.

Sorted

I only buy for my son Lucas really, he only 2 and 3month's now so don't even get him too much then. I do put some money in a card for his three cousins as a good will gesture probs a tenner each.
So all in all about £60 - £70 this year

My family has come to the understanding that christmas means family and friends not materialism. As for card I think they are a complete and utter waste of money unless as I said before they are holding money or a shopping voucher of some kind

Almost got everything done now, just 2 more things to buy and then it's all sorted I'm really looking forward to seeing all the family again, as it's been months since there's been a meet.

All done on-line. Trouble is you always add a little something for yourself to take advantage of the postage.
