I shop early. Sometimes I forget where I hid certain presents.

Meaning I shop throughout the year. It's so handy to buy something, then you question yourself: do I need this? And instead the question becomes: Who would like this as a gift?

Only 1 yr. awhile ago, I left Christmas shopping unitl the final week. It was awful because I hate shopping in crowds, long/time-sucking lineups, felt unnecessary pressure to buy anything out of desperation and I have many people to buy for due to family size. Never again.
