Good grief, what's come over me?

At this rate, I'm going to become one of those terrifying people who have all their Christmas shopping done before December 1.

(I blame the demise of Borders. Going out to the shops just isn't as much fun anymore.)

There is a certain worry with buying online - it's harder to realise how much you've bought because it's not right there. Then again, trying not to spend my last dollar on presents (usually for Mum) is a perpetual problem ... and I'm always finding things that Mum would like. I have to cover my eyes! And stop browsing on Etsy.

I don't do much Christmas shopping - the only one I give a "proper" Christmas present is my mother since she's the only one I spend Christmas with - but this year is the first year in forever that I've managed to get it done before December 1 :-)

I love shopping online but as you say, it's very easy to spend more than you'd planned.

Ah yeah, for me the biggest trap is buying for Mum because a) I know her taste and b) we tend to spoil each other. Every year we say won't but we always do!

I have a list. with numbers. I need stick to the list. *nods*
