Skimommy-I'm so jealous you're done buying for your girls! I haven't even started yet for the kids. We did get the Target and Walmart Christmas Books, so the kids have looked through them to give us some ideas. Hopefully in a couple weeks we'll be done buying for everyone!

Last year at this time I was completely done. This year I have 2 gifts for our youngest and one for our oldest and that's it. I have nothing for anyone else. Ugh. I keep thinking they are going to have to give huge discounts this year and I will be glad I waited. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'll admit that I am hesitant to finish buying gift in case they go on sale even more with Black Friday etc.

I am probably 60% done with everyone...

I haven't bought a single thing! I keep waiting for a great deal but haven't found any. I hope to go shopping the next week or two.

As for stockings, DH does those. And does great at finding these neat little toys and such for the kids' stockings.

I am working on it. I just got my Christmas money from my Christmas club account from the bank and can't wait to buy more for my boys!

I haven't really gotten much yet. Just a few things for my little cousins (11and 7) that were on clearance at Michael's months ago.

I would like to get my parents a digital camera (they would love it) but I am really hoping I can get one under $75, preferably way less......LOL we shall see. If not, I'll have to think of something else to get them.

I"m waiting to see if American Girl offers free shipping codes. Next week I'm going to try and get Littlest Pet Shop 10 piece set at Aldi's. Other than that I'm done except for a few stocking stuffers for the girls.

Nah, I haven't gotten too much yet, but I have thought about it! I have 2 of my kids' birthdays in December too. Usually I am about done, but for some reason I am not stressing at all about it this year.

I've ordered some stocking stuffers and I have 4 pairs of boxers 1/2 finished for my brother. I'm also mostly done with the felt food I'm making for M and her friend. DH stocking stuffers are done. Other than a few stocking stuffers, I know what else I'm getting and will probably order online.

I am ahead of the game because I wanted to make things, and I had to get my sister's done last month for her visit and my brother's done by thanksgiving.
