Do you enjoy Christmas shopping and do you do it early or just few days before the holiday?

I personally enjoy Christmas shopping and usually start shopping as early of 2nd week of November. This is too avoid too much congestion on shopping malls and market. And also to still have time to save money for some other things for the holiday like for the foods.

I'm not fond of Xmas shopping especially when it is during rush hour or days before Xmas. The line is just a killer. What I love about Xmas is the year-end % off sales. But come to think of it, most items on sale are old stock/items of the year. >.<

I don't really do much Christmas shopping as I am trying to reduce my consumption of stuff. Instead I rather pay a little more to get delicious food during the holiday.

And like snowdoll said, its better to wait for the holiday sales just after Christmas. ;)
