How soon do you start your Christmas shopping? Do you wait to the last minute or do you try to do it early? Or are you somewhere in between?

Christmas shopping....?

I like to keep my eye open for things when November is coming to an end. But most of my shopping is done mid-way through December. I love the Christmas spirit so it's always nice to go shopping when everyone is out and about shopping for presents as well.
Just a week or two before it actually happens, I don't need to do much.
WARNING TO EVERYONE!
Seriously, think about it, I expect this holiday to be utter hell thanks to covid, I say get your shopping done now or started less you can't get anything this holiday.

I'm a person that works in retail so I don't want to get out and do my Christmas shopping during the month of December with everyone else because I'm already working in it all day. So I like to do my Christmas shopping early. I'll try to do it in September/October. During that time, people are focusing on getting their kids back into school and then focusing on Halloween so I'm staying a step ahead of everyone else. That way I can wrap presents and put them under the tree when I get that put up.
But I'm kind of thinking Demon_skeith might have a point. I don't want to wait till the last minute anyway to get my Christmas shopping done because of the Covid-19.

Normally I am a last minute shopper, however this year I want to get everything done by the end of november.
At least that is what I keep telling myself lol.

My hubby's birthday is exactly 2 weeks after Christmas. So I usually purchase his birthday present at the same time I'm doing my Christmas shopping. I'll have it all laid out at home and just decide which present to give him at Christmas and which one to give him on his b-day. It's much easier that way than scrambling around as soon as Christmas is over and trying to find his b-day present then.
I thought two months apart was bad enoughtry having your birthday on christmas
But the end of the day It's not nice to have Birthday and Christmas together
try having your birthday on christmas
It's Birthmas! Or is it Christday?
That's got to suck have them at the same time. My birthday is in July so at least my birthday and Christmas are spread out at least.
I wait till early to mid December before I start Christmas shopping. I did that last year. But I'm planning on upping my game this year. Probably do it earlier and have my kids write down everything they want. They don't believe in Santa anymore. They believe I'm Santa lol. So I'll be busy getting them what they want.
I've started my Christmas shopping this week. The only difficult part is when I go shopping for my hubby, I have to figure out a place to hid all his stuff from him in this house. There may be some things he may figure out what they are even if they're wrapped already.
