I am still not finished with Christmas shopping...truth is, not really stressed about it either. I'm enjoying the season, the music, the decorations, the food, the love, friends, my family.
And somehow, shopping always gets done. Doesn't it? Are you starting to get stressed? Don't. We don't ever remember the gifts, we remember where we were, who was there, what we did, and how we felt.
I will probably get the rest of my shopping done early tomorrow morning. Hoping to wake up early and beat the crowds. Don't you just love stores that have extended hours???
Kmart sent me a gift card to help me finish my holiday shopping and also let me know they open really early at most stores (six am)....they must have known my last minute shopping plans. ( : So thankful for this. Been a shopper of Sears for years (remember going there with my mom as a child) and can't tell you how much I love their children's clothes!
GIVEAWAY
They also sent me a $100 Kmart/Sears gift card to giveaway to one of you...they want you to feel special, no stress and know that they have extended their hours specially for people like us who are not only shopping but enjoying their families as well. Both Sear and Kmart have tons of stuff, and that right gift for that special someone.
Leave me any topic related comment on this post....tell me if you are done with your shopping. Who you still need to buy for? I will pick one winner on January 1, 2012 (that felt weird...writing the new year) at 11:59pm. US only. Make sure you leave your email if it's not already on your profile so I can contact you. Good luck!
*update: Congrats to Danielle (the Knapps), the winner of the gift card!

I was a late Christmas shopper because my parents loaned me some money since I am currently unemployed due to a medical emergency. I would love to win the $100 K Mart GC.

I finished my christmas shopping on black friday. I think my kids love hitting our local Walmart more than christmas itself!
pauline15_01(at)hotmail(dot)com
I managed to get all my holiday shopping down on time, though the fact that we all traveled half the country for our family gathering did restrict some gift choices.

Happy New Year! I did actually purchase a number of my son's Christmas gifts from Kmart because they have a fabulous children's toy section.

I always go Christmas shopping in the wee hours of the morning. I love it. It's quiet and there aren't tons of people around.

Hello, of course I'm done with my Christmas shopping since it is now New Years day. But, I was shopping 2 days after Christmas on our way to see the inlaws. Got some great deals. It is sad to here that some of the Sears and Kmart stores will be closing. I hope not in my area. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I haven't shopped at KMart in forever since ours closed years ago. We do have one that isn't too far away and I have to say that I miss it. I loved their variety and would love a reason to travel back up there!

It is after Christmas so my shopping is all done. I will be looking forward to the new year as I hope all of you will be.
Christmas is over now, but this year I shopped until the day before.

I love Kmart this would be awesome because now that christmas is over we have 4 family bdays coming up in the next month

I finished with all of my Christmas shopping on Dec 23rd. I actually made a trip to Kmart on Christmas Eve to get some snacks for Christmas Day, and they were pretty much the only place open that evening besides Walgreens.
I got all of my X-mas shopping done a week before Christmas and I managed to get my Christmas Cards out too.
PaintedPony17@yahoo.com
I finished all of my Christmas shopping about a week before Christmas. I didn't get everything wrapped until Christmas Eve. But, Christmas went great, everyone seemed to love their gifts and we all had a great Christmas.

I got my Christmas shopping done on time thanks to the wonders of shopping online. I love amazon prime and I think it's definitely worth it to pay one fee for a whole year of free shipping and no worries!
I love the whole Christmas Eve shopping experience. I love rush of last minute gift shopping and the crowds. It is over so fast each year. I did get done early so I won't be in the mist of the panic either way and I will miss that this year.
kytah00@yahoo.com
I was done shopping a week or so before Christmas, which was nice since I usually have at least one present I need to get at the last possible second.
Sears has yet to fail me when I really need to find something. :)

I am having late family members that are coming to celebrate with us. It's especially fantastic because they are going to help fix up the garage. The walls are in desperate need of a cleaning and painting and the floor needs to be resurfaced before someone falls in a big crack in the floor and is never seen again.
I finished all of my shopping (and wrapping) a few days before Christmas this year. Usually I am shopping right up until the last minute and wrapping all Christmas eve.
I was totally unprepared for christmas this year and had to scramble at the last minute to get a gift for my brother. Oops!
heather_n_s@mail.com
I do love Sears and Kmart. They have a good mix of products and they are reasonable in price.
I was finished with my shopping a few weeks before Christmas. I love the clothes at Kmart....they are so cute!

I started Christmas 3 weeks before Christmas and got my last gift at 10pm Christmas eve...which was weird because I'm usually very on top of things but we have less money to work with this year...but we made it work :) Our Christmas morning was filled with smiling faces:)
Hope you had a nice holiday as well.

Well since this is after Christmas, yes, I'm done shopping, lol! I actually got some great deals at Sears this year. :)
We actually still have one more Christmas party to go, but yes, I had all my shopping done about a week before Christmas thankfully!
I am usually still shopping at the last minute. Each year I say I want to be done early, but . . .
Thanks for the giveaway.
I so would have loved to bake more cookies w/my little one! Did the majority of my shopping on Black Friday. But oddly enough it was the grocery's for the Holiday meal that had us out late to shop on xmas eve this year.

I shop for holiday gifts throughout the year to save money and last minute rushing. Always find great bargains at Kmart.

We finished all of our shopping late - on Christmas Eve! 2011 was a rough year and the budget has been tight (and tighter when hubs was laid off in Dec.) so we had to plan for the last minute. We got it done though and everyone loved their gifts and we enjoyed time spent with family.

We took a vacation to Hawaii a week before Christmas and now I want to do that every year- usually I am stressed and worn out- this year I was relaxed, happy and having the time of my life.

Time to start my shopping for this year I love Kmart lezanac2 at yahoo dot com
Christmas is now over. I had done about 90% of my shopping a couple months in advance. So, there wasn't much to get last minute, except a couple of gift cards.
I was done before Christmas week, not much to do this year as things are meager around here
I love Sears so much! Thank you :)
We are lucky to have a kmart in our
town.

I got my shopping done early this year, because I had to mail out a lot of gifts and wanted to get them there for Christmas. I did do some shopping at Kmart. They have reasonable prices, I think. This gift certificate would be nice to win. I could do some after Christmas shopping. Thanks for having this contest.
Thanks for the great contest!

i did finish a few days before the big day. i agree that it all gets done and in the end spending time with family is what i enjoy most about the season.

I finished rather early, since I like to buy all the peeps on my list books. That might change if everybody I know gets an e-reader of some sort...but then again, maybe not.

I love that I've made a new rule and only shop for my kids, friends kids, and my parents. It saves me sooo much money, but now I realize the kiddos didn't get socks or boots for Christmas so I'd love to go buy some!!

I wasn't able to get all my family gifts, but they understand! Luckily my children enjoyed their Christmas. Now heres to having a better year!

I finished my shopping 2 days before Christmas. We didn't go crazy spending money and it was relatively stress free!
Christmas is over, however I finished shopping on the 23rd. I went to the mall and it was PACKED. I regretted it but somehow managed to snag a great parking spot and find all 7 missing gifts within 2 hours. I was shocked at the luck! Thanks for the giveaway :)

Even though it is Jan. 1st, I am not done shopping for Christmas. We have one more Christmas party next weekend. We held off for my son who is flying in from Arizona on thursday. I still have one more small thing I need to pick up for a name exchange. Nothing like waiting for the last minute.

I love Kmart and I had a BIG layaway there for my son's Christmas presents. He was very happy when that morning came!

How nice of them to send you money to shop! I definitely could have used that for my kids. We ended up spending $100 a piece on our three kids! Would have loved to get an extra gift or two!! Thanks for the giveaway
I love using the after-Christmas sales to get gifts for our family holiday party that we have later in January!

I did 100% of my Christmas shopping online this year, and I avoided all of the stress of running from store to store! I think that I'll be doing that from now on!

I wish Kmart was closer to Me Miss the store that used to be just around the corner...My excitement This year We paid cash for everything no extra bills...We saved $1 bills all year and it surprised Us ended up being over $200
I do my shopping year round. I do a trip to the dollar store to find stocking stuffers.
And it's true that we best remember the people & the good times much more than the presents.
Thanks for the contest.
I'm done with my shopping

I'm hoping I'm done with the Christmas shopping. Now just working on the returns -- we seem to buy extra every year, and this year I'm returning it.
Was done with my sopping the week before Christmas... YES!!!

I actually realized how late I was getting started two weeks before Christmas, and I was done a week later. I got everything wrapped before Christmas Eve and got to play with the family all day. Yay me! ;)
I did most of my Christmas shopping at the after-Christmas sales in 2010. At Christmas 2011, my extended family decided next year, only the children would get gifts. Since I don't have kids, I don't buy for other people's kids. So, I don't have to buy anything major for next year, yay! I would have liked to get a few more things for my husband, but he has his eye on some expensive woodshop equipment, so he said not to get him anything and save the money for that. I got him a couple of things anyway.
I was finally finished a few days before Christmas, first time ever
mightynaynay(at)cs.com
I've finished with my Christmas shopping. Due to my husband being unemployed we were only able to buy presents for the children. garrettsambo@aol.com
