I'm usually one of those early shoppers, I like to get everyone one my list done before the hustle and bustle hits, but I leave my boys until mid December because they are constantly changing their minds, and adding to their list with every television commercial they see. This year, I haven't even started anyone on my list. Partly because we did some travelling in November that occupied my time and thoughts, but mostly because I just don't know what to buy!
