I don't shop now,, i give cash,, because if i buy something that they don't need/like,,, it's on the internet the next day ,,, for sale at a discounted price ,, well for me,, i shop anytime i need something,,X'mas is for offering to others as a tradition,,

I buy over a few months.

I like to buy the most suitable present as possible for each person, very individualised, so if I see the perfect gift in August I get it.

I love buying gifts. Receiving them comes 2nd best.

Don't take the religious side of it,,, just the gaiety side,, we see happy faces in X'mas and up to New Year,, after it's the shortage,, we attack the left-overs,,, grin handshake

I shop all year long buying small door prizes for a Christian social group I belong to. It's much more satisfying than buying specific gifts for people who don't really care.

Even people who have 'everything' often don't have that one thing you can get them.

I am very close to my friends and family, so listen to offcuff things they may say throughout the year about something they like/don't have, etc.

It is a year-long process laugh

I don't shop anymore either. Years ago I started shopping in August but now my daughter and her husband have everything they need so I don't shop anymore.

Sometimes I shop for a homeless family if I see it advertised in the local newspaper santa waving

Shopping for a homeless family is a very kind gesture and it's a good feeling doing something like that for those who really need it. There's usually toy and clothing donation boxes set up at major department stores where you can place a new unwrapped toy or clothing item and they are distributed to people in need. thumbs up dancingsanta

At .72 cents vs the U.S dollar exchange rate you'll need to take a lot of it...monopoly money is pretty too and almost worth the same!! blues
