Well... I usually get my Christmas Bonus about 48 hours before Christmas. So, I'd say about 24 hours before Christmas would be about right for me Laughing

All of mine is done before Thanksgiving... I don't set foot near a mall or department store after that.

My mother used to shop in the post Xmas sales for the majority of presents she planned to give next Xmas, she also shopped for birthday presents the same way.

I should have learned from her and do it this way myself...but I don't or can't or won't, I'm not sure which it is! Rolling Eyes

When I was a young lad, and had various girl friends in H.S. and College, I would always spend Christmas with my family, and see them the day after. Which worked out great. All the good sales start the day after Christmas. I could really load up Laughing

I just love their are more ways to shop now besides the malls. There's online shopping and a bunch of different stores outside malls selling gift cards.

Online shopping and gift cards are overall best ways to avoid malls. Have u seen how many different gift cards they are selling in grocery stores now? Safeway has a huge rack with over 250 of different gift cards on it. That's a lot!

....and on the "huge rack"....keep it clean people! Laughing
