    I am wondering how many of us are preparing for the holidays now or have already started?

    I started shopping for Christmas 2001 the day after Christmas 2000 Can't beat those after-Christmas sales! I've got about 1/3 of my shopping done.

    How about you, Sara?

    Dh is working on Thanksgiving.
    He is home for Canadian Thanksgiving. (Oct 8th) *sigh*

    As for holiday shopping..zippo prep over here. I am usually ahead of things, but not this year.

    I have started to pick up pantry items, spices etc, so that the food aspect of it isn't such a harsh blow all at once though.

    Not to mention all of my holiday decorations are still in NY. sniff sniff

    I am happy to report that we are almost finished.
    I have been buying my new/still in original package gifts from thrift stores and yard sales.

    I buy gift cards for my nieces and nephews and did a lot of online shopping. I still have to buy for Gregg(aka hubby). As for anything else I don't bake much since there is no here but us to eat it and I DON'T NEED IT!! I do make a huge dinner for us on both Thanksgiving and Christmas day. Our families are 100's of miles away from us.

    I have a lot of my shopping done. I was done this time last year. Just haven't been as many good online deals this year [img]/phpbb/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img].Everybody in our family works strange shifts so, still have to figure out when and where the holiday dinners will be held. This year has gone so quickly! I can't believe it's time to start dealing with the holidays!!! [img]/phpbb/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

    I also start shopping right after Christmas. I am in good shape. For extended family, I only need gifts for my father and father-in-law.
    DH and I are not exchanging gifts, since we just got a new car. DS only wants a couple of computer games, so I am watching sales.
