Last minute Christmas shopping - aargh what have I done

The only package that has not been "delivered" says it will be delivered by 9:00pm on December 24, however the post office has a sign that they are closing at noon on December 24, so if it's not delivered by noon, it's not making it!

Oh no, hope it arrives earlier for you. Will keep my fingers crossed

I started and finished my Christmas shopping yesterday. I am a horrible procrastinator and tell myself every year I need to do better. But a lot of places were having sales so I wonder if maybe my procrastination is working for me in this case!

Your procrastination is great, sales are always great, so many stores are having their Boxing Day sales before Christmas now, to entice shoppers.

I just finished my shopping on wednesday and got it in the mail yesterday. My SO though...he ALWAYS waits to the last minute. I dragged him out shopping last weekend and now he just has 3 people to shop for: his sister, brother in law and me. All of which should be easy but he won't get his bottom in gear. It's so frustrating for me because I know he will be out until the stores close if he doesnt get on it. I dont know why he does this to himself

my sister used to always leave her shopping till Christmas Eve, and then complain for hours about how busy the shops were and how she couldn’t find what she really wanted to get as gifts. It has only been the last few years she has started shopping earlier- she is almost 50yrs old.

Geez. I guess it takes some longer than others to learn.

Can you send on-line gift cards? We can here in USA but, I usually just buy a gift card and mail it.

We did a drawing for our family this year (5 of us) so nobody had to spend too much. My husband and I were going to buy for each other, but we're both procrastinators so agreed to do stockings only. Win

We tried to do stockings for each other last year. It didnt work out. His was filled with tools, candy and knick knacks. Mine was filled with 1 giant bag of gummy bears needless to say he didn't put as much thought into it as I had hoped so we scrapped it

I honestly don’t know if that is a thing here, all my family live local, so never had to look into it

Oh no! Haha, I can see why you wouldn't want to do that again
